I intend to do a cleaner intro pin but the aseptic meningitis has really impacted my cognitive abilities in the worst ways (thats brain inflammation for you).

But for now:
If you knew me from disability twitter I was SpoonlessGeologist

If you know me from bookstagram I’m SnapCracklePoppies

And I realize this sounds dramatic af but if I sat down and listed everything that has gone wrong, terrible things that have come to light, and all the ways my body is trying to kill me, it would quietly literally break me but it would also probably break you, at least a little, too 🫠

I’m not allowed to have even a tiny reprieve from the crushing weight of “I don’t know how I can keep doing this, especially when I don’t particularly want to anymore” because who the fuck knows why, other than I guess it’s my turn with The Extra Strength Suffering ™ ??

The universe can’t let me have ONE NIGHT, not even asking for a full day, just one fucking night without piling on more bullshit.

I just wanted to enjoy the dopamine & “I’m loved” rush from getting happy mail from my fav people, including some incredible gifts, but no. I’m not allowed. 🙃

Really!! ♥️

Your Given to the Ghoul and Victoria Weyland’s Bees & Honey made a novella lover out of me!! (I had been of the mind that stories that short never felt complete in a satisfying enough way before that lol)

Lawd have mercy 🥵

Them doing this challenge with the matchy blonde/silver hair is… phew. Wowie.

#MonsterRomance lovelies, go go go!! 🤩

Given to the Ghoul is my all-time favorite monster novella. Like, any time someone asks for a short but satisfying monster rom. — this is the one I recommend for people that don’t mind a little gore with their inhuman love interests. 😈

Two bite-sized books under 100 pages. They’re basically pamphlets. Spooky, smutty pamphlets 🖤

It’s been a rotten day with many bad things, but The Outcast audiobook is finally here!!! Just the kind of candy read I need to feed the dopamine machine. 🥰

Kirt Graves narration combined with E. M. Denning’s storytelling is a match made in book-heaven lol

But, uh, there’s no hiding a crumbling spine… nor possible impingement, synovial lesions, bone spurs and spiny growth on hips! ✌️

No wonder I’ve been in so much pain. (I was upgraded from one bulged disc a decade ago to full lumbar spine degenerative disc disease plus whatever up w/my hips.)

That bittersweet feeling of relief and vindication when you do medical testing and for once it actually *shows* something wrong.

Especially if you’re someone that has had a lifetime of gaslighting because most of their conditions are invisible if you’re not looking very hard. 🙃

A few more cute AC:PC things because it’s been another rollercoaster of a day and I’m trying not to spiral~

I’m having fun with the spooky szn outfits. They’re mostly matching sets but idc, they’re adorbs

Very much looking forward to this particular sapphic #MonsterRomance that the author describes as “horny monster girls mixed with cozy magic school vibes”. And that cover is absolutely stunning! 😍

Current ARCs:

✨ a surprise taboo 👀 novella from Lyonne Riley, “One Night with the Werewolf”

✨ Melissa Huxley’s “Knot Their Burden” (which I didn’t expect to get bcuz NetGalley has been denying my audiobook requests 😝 but I’m excited to listen to some omegaverse!!)

Nooo, that’s not dumb at all. I totally would’ve done the same 😂 I *hate* last minute plan changes like that, I probably would’ve had a negative association with it too in your shoes!
