💙📚 #booksky 📚💙 Rereading Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. This is one of my all time favorite books. I've been holding off on reading the second one because I just don't want this journey to end. But it feels like this is the right time to reread the first and dive into the second.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke Full review here app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/391d... Short Version: On of my favorite reads in a while. Please please buy a copy and save it for a one-day rainy read ☔ Go into it blind, don't look anything up. And just trust me. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spice: 🚫 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙

And I'm so proud of myself for sticking to my self-imposed three book limit when visiting my favorite bookstore this morning 👀 📚💙 #booksky 💙📚

And finishing the morning off with a visit to lake City bookstore. My happiest of happy places.

And reading at my favorite downtown coffee shop, Michelangelo's. My other happy place.

Saturday is at the Dane county Farmers market. This is my happy place.

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood Full review here app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/d813... Short Version: A slow burn 🌶️story about anxiety, fear of failure, and how kinks fit in a relationship. All with a college athlete backdrop. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙

💙📚 #booksky 📚💙 And I'm nearly done with this one. I have loved every single Lyonne Riley story that I have ever read. Someday maybe she'll write something that I don't absolutely fall in love with, but it hasn't happened yet. Love love love these stories! @lyonneriley.bsky.social

💙📚 #booksky 📚💙 And I started this book last night. Now I'm reading two 🌶️romances at the same time. Will I survive? Who knows?

💙📚 #booksky 📚💙 I preordered this book a while back, and I just go it in the mail yesterday. It's such a beautiful book and I'm so very much looking forward to reading it! ✨🌙 @irisbeaglehole.bsky.social

I love Lyonne Riley's 🌶️ fantasy stories. She checks all the right boxes, hits all the right spots, and rings all the right bells every single time 🩷 @lyonneriley.bsky.social 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher Full review here app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/2e34... Short version - it was such a good book! 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙

The London Séance Society by Sarah Penner Full review at app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/5edd... 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙

But I scraped the top off, put it on a baking sheet, and ended up with some amazing sourdough biscuits. Sometimes mistakes lead to the most beautiful things.

I very much under estimated the power of the sourdough starter. aka "Christina's Bread Goop"

📚💙 And when the sadness still lingers? I put on an audio book and bake more things 💙📚 #booksky

Yesterday was kinda a rough day. I mean there have been a lot of rough days recently. A lot of good days too. But the rough ones have been rougher than usual. For me, the best way to fight that despair is to create something. So I tried a Blender Lemon Curd recipe I recently heard about.

Starting my morning off with an audio book and baking cinnamon raisin swirl bread. 📚💙

💙📚 I'm starting Deep End by Ali Hazelwood. I started it previously and got maybe 30 pages in and then life sidetracked me pretty hard. I'm so glad to be picking it back up again and looking forward to finishing it this time!

Thursdays are wine, audiobook, and crafting nights in this house

I'm so inconsistent with posting here. But I love this place, and I want to contribute even if it's in my small little way. So here are some of the things that have started blooming around our yard this year.

📚💙 Starting The Winter Of The Witch the third book in the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden. It's been an interesting journey. They've been great books to read over the winter. You can just feel the "cold" in them. I'm definitely going to be ready for something warmer and maybe a bit softer.

The goal of the new assassin's Creed game is to pet as many cats and dogs as you can right? I'm playing this the right way right?

I'm doing a terrible job of keeping this account alive. But I've been trying to back off social media in general. But hello everyone and anyone!

Support public libraries! Read wonderful books! 💙📚

I need this more than I have the words to describe

I'm.still not sure of the best way to do book posts here. But I'm just going to keep posting. I'm finishing up Ghost Flower by Jessica Conwell @pairofclaws.bsky.social it has been such a a journey! I'm so glad I picked this book up

The cutest little demon I know. 🐈‍⬛ #blackcats

Star Wars the Deck builder game, and chocolate martini's. A nice way to unplug for an evening.

Yellow Jackets is back! #yellowjackets

I've been trying to get away from all things meta. But I haven't been able to leave insta completely. And there's still some good info and community there. Anyway, this is from "theshabbycreekcottage" and I thought it was really useful. So I wanted to share it here too.

Watching Wicked again, and playing Infinity Nikki. It's a thrilling life I live 😋 #InfinityNikki

According to a 2023 survey, only 5.3% of published authors are Black. So reading, buying, borrowing, and chatting about Black books is super important! Here’s a stack of all the Black-authored books I physically own. #booksky #diversebooksky

The general vibe for American life as a bookworm right now… #booksky

I started Ghost Flower by Jessica Conwell last night. @pairofclaws.bsky.social I can't remember how I heard about this book, but I'm so glad I did. I'm just starting but I love the authors story telling voice. I'm not sure where this book is heading, and honestly I love that! 💙📚 #booksky 📚💙
