I don’t think Willow will be my last, but who knows. My own health isn’t great and finances are a concern too. This is the first time since I was 5 that I haven’t had a cat and I hate it, but it is what it is I guess.

That I do. It’s sadly one of the reasons that I haven’t gotten a new kitty yet. I desperately miss Willow and I’d love a new baby to love on, but I just can’t imagine having to deal with all that all over again if I got another chronically ill cat.

My weekend reads. Finished Psychopomp & Circumstance last night & it was a perfect fall read. Still working on the others, but I have to say I’m enjoying all 4.

Thank you so much to @jcageauthor.bsky.social @edenroyce.bsky.social @jtewwrites.bsky.social & Dawn Chen for the gifted eARCs. #booksky

You’re doing so much better than me. I’m in the double digits on NetGalley, but in my defense quite a few were IG sweepstakes wins so it’s not entirely my fault.😂

Thank goodness most of them aren’t due till next year.

I just posted mine. I’m trying to work through my ridiculous amount of arcs this weekend. I’ve put myself on an arc timeout.😂

Why do we do this to ourselves?😂

You’re doing better than me. I have about 10 this month and 10 next month to get through. I’ve had to put myself on an arc request moratorium.😂

Congrats on Dawn of the North. The first 2 books were so good. I’m trying to be responsible and finish my other arcs before I start it since it comes out next year, but it’s killing me.😭
