Please tell me I'm not the only one who knows the pain of laying in bed in the dark, unable to sleep because your cat is loudly and grossly licking their entire body beneath your bed.

💙📚When you thought spending time with a reader would be great, but it just means you’re following two stories at once—one of which is apparently smut. I am never going to finish @moewanders.bsky.social’s book.

💙📚 All the 2nd and 3rd novels in every book series I haven’t finished yet, watching me start book one of another series:

WHY DID I BORROW THREE MORE BOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY WHEN I'M ALREADY READING THREE OTHER BOOKS??? #booksky

I didn’t expect to have to buy a new car, but I guess that’s something that’s happening now.

So pretty, and I love the name! ⚔️💐 Thank you @sanshinsoba.bsky.social!

My baybeee ❤️🪴 Grew it from a 6 inch cutting, nearly killed it and had it on life support for a few months before it stabilized from my meddling. It’s 1.5 years old and nearly 4ft tall now, and needs a larger pot. #houseplants #gardening

Huang jin gui. A very mild, honey floral oolong. I made a half brew today and steeped it till it died. 🍵

I like to tell people I have insomnia, but in reality, I just have a fucking book.

I deleted the videos of me screaming in terror over him reading his ACOTAR smut aloud. I would have liked to leave them up a little longer; I thought they were funny. But he doesn't like having an online presence, so I promised to remove them after 6 hours. Maybe I'll try it again later. Or not.

I'm sure this is a tired and complex question for Terry Pratchett fans, just as the question, "where do I start with the Horus Heresy books" is for us WH40k fans. But... ...where should I start with Discworld? Taking suggestions. 🪐📚💙

⚡️⚡️RELEASE DAY⚡️⚡️

BookThreads: omg that thing that happened!?! I’m livid, I can’t believe this happened in the book community! NO I will not give details, nor will anyone else talking about it! I can’t believe you’re asking for context when you should be as ANGRY as the rest of your feed!!! BookSky: [crickets]

I've just been informed OVER 24 HOURS LATER that I actually sent this, without context, to several people I have solely formal/polite relationships with. So I'm going to drink the rest of the fucking alcohol in my home so I can go ahead and die. Expect to hear from me never.

Oh, I like this blog post, because I’ve already used this image more than once across multiple social media platforms, including this one.

Finally managed to sit down and finish this. I loved it even more than Strange Houses. The storytelling takes a lot of hairpin turns, but it all comes together nicely. A strong recommend. 💙📚

I was intoxicated last night and chuckling very self-importantly because I had an idea for an informational graphic that I thought was really important to literary discourse. But this morning I discovered this was all that I had managed to make. 💙📚

Hi! Do you like: 📚 Books, books, books 🏰 Epic, dark & fairytale fantasy 🚀 Cyberpunk & military sci-fi 👻 Paranormal horror 📚 Reading/writing indie SFF 🩸 WH40k lore ⚔️ Martial arts, wuxia Let's be friends! ⬇️

Do you remember this? Guess how many people contacted me since then. Exactly!

I was going to update my promo post/follow a bunch of new people, but then I realized that I have an obon dance in an hour, and I may scare some cool people away with my potential raging. So I'll do it tomorrow. Oh, and also: ignore anything I post within the hour. I still can't tie an obi.

Note to self: maybe don’t start a new fantasy book when you’re tired. 💙📚

I forgot to post this: all the stories I finished in July. I discovered that I can only do my insane summer reading schedule for a month before crashing out, so my July reading was quite light. These are all horror short stories or novellas, mostly Warhammer. A nice mix that I enjoyed. 📚🩸

I found a bunch of gems in here! Sale runs until Monday, don't miss out! 💙📚 talesfromthecircle.com/epicsale2025...

If these interest you: •Friends to lovers •Magical college •Demon battles •Quest for secret relic •"He's doesn't love you like I love you" •Mysterious attacks on school •Betrayal •Ex shows up •Cryptic future visions Then you might like ⚔️ The Divines ⚔️ ⬇️

First medical procedure done, and the pain is gone, but I discovered I'll need two more over the course of a month to really take care of the issue. I'll have to be overly careful with my health if I want to keep doing the activities I love, and I'm trash at being careful. Guess I need to learn.

There’s a 6’2” man on my couch laughing, very pleased with himself because according to him, the enemies are finally becoming lovers in his book. I… I don’t know what’s happening right now. I don’t read smut. Is this normal? I was hoping to spend time with him. Will that happen tonight, or….???

I have a🧵 to get off my chest. I had an unpleasant intrusion when doing blade drills. Of all the bad aspects of that encounter, one thing really got to me (that was oddly started by my water flask decals.) A guy said, aren’t you bothered that blades are so popular with fantasy fans who don't-- 1/17

Sorry I haven't been around. I'm having medical issues and am in a lot of pain. I'm stressed about an upcoming procedure and it's kind of paralyzing me. I'll be around eventually, but not now.

💙📚 Someone asked me this today, and it STRESSED ME OUT enough to make this handy graphic that I will save on my phone so that this travesty of a conversation never happens again. #booksky

I’ve been blowing money on cool gear for years so I can trick myself into thinking I’m competent at double swords. I’ve never felt comfortable with this wield until this week. Some of my coordination drills are still mediocre, but I can now spar fairly well; it’s in my muscle memory, at least.

I want everyone to know that the the first (and last) time I read a romantasy, I got to the first sex scene while in a cafe. I silent-laughed so hard I cried, and set my head down on the table to keep quiet. An old lady asked if I needed a hug. I let her hug me because obviously I couldn’t—

My favorite gym B-plot is the guy who gets in an imaginary rivalry with the one woman who is always on the stairmaster, and challenges himself to keep up with her while she climbs for an hour straight, just vibing to smut on her headphones. Meanwhile, he and his big muscles are actively dying.

Me: All right, I overextended myself on Friday, but that's fine. I'll just skip the gym and do some light #gardening on the patio. That's safe. Sharp, broken pot hidden behind fern:

So excited for this! @books-that-go-boom.bsky.social writes such fantastic, innovative cyberpunk; you never know which direction it's going. He follows through with both concept AND execution. #bluepit

It's #Bluepit time, great for all the aspiring storytellers out there, and awful for me, a reader, to see everyone pitch their amazing stories that I can't read NOW. So if you're an author and I added you today, it's because I want to follow your career and read your work when it becomes available.

If you ever feel like you can't live up to expectations, remember that you're not in charge of the season three opening for #JJK.

Thank you to everyone who shared already and donated! If we can even reach $250 that would be so helpful!

Nooo I didn't read the summary carefully for this #Warhammer horror short story collection. Only half of it is 40k, the rest are Age of Sigmar. Fantasy, in MY science fiction??

I'm going to need to see the properly filed paperwork that allows Kaiju No.8's opening to go this hard. #anime www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFjI...

Breaking news: bro technologied so hard that he discovered cliffnotes.

I'm just living my whole life trying to chase that feeling of being in Azeroth for the first time. ‪ #worldofwarcraft #wow

Me: Hi, Etsy. I'd like a fantasy decal-- Etsy: FOURTH WING!!! Me: Uh, ok. I don't read those kinds of books, so-- Etsy: I READ MY PORN LIKE A ~LADY~! Me: This is for a water flask that I'll take outside, so-- Etsy: CHOKING ON THAT DICK LIKE A WHORE! I'M A GOOD GIRL!!! Me: Etsy: FOURTH WING!!!!!!!!!!

Reading some #WH40k horror, so of course I had to change my e-reader theme.

I’m now going to refer to my TBR as a “metaphysical altar” from here on out with no explanation. You’ve all been forewarned.

July 4th is: National caesar salad day National BBQ spareribs day In case anyone needs anything worthwhile to celebrate tomorrow. I will be hosting loved ones for grilled seafood salads, cocktails and shit talking the government. 🥗🍸

*sighs*

I’m sure this is controversial, but I’m always sad when sequels shelve MCs to follow side/secondary characters, especially in character-driven stories. I respect the creator’s choice, but I’m sad when an MC I’ve emotionally invested in just becomes a passing mention in future books.

Making it under the wire: Happy Canada Day to a great country, people and land! 🍁🇨🇦 I’ve traveled through all the lower provinces and enjoyed them immensely. Here are a few photos from my most recent visit to the east coast! ❤️

💙📚 First month of summer reading is done, and I kinda want to die. I didn't achieve a full 30-day reading streak; I crashed out on the 29th and took a day off. Total hours: 156 hours, 7 minutes Average per day: 5 hours, 12 minutes
