May there be NO KINGS.
May there be NO FACISTS.
May there be NO DICTATORS.

So mote it be. 🌙

While I didn’t agree with everything in this book, as a student in an MFA program, I learned so much! This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to learn more about novel writing and/or screenwriting. #booksky📚💙 #writingsky

I’m not sure if it’s the storyline or the fact that this is a translation, but I did not enjoy this book at all. The different POVs are odd and the misogyny (even though I realize it’s cultural) was almost unbearable. Nobel Prize? No thanks. #booksky📚💙

Well I’ve talked a lot about politics and Taylor Swift. Back to books!

I don’t read many YA books ever, but I enjoy Emily Henry’s writing. So I gave it a try and actually enjoyed it. It’s definitely the PG-13 version of Thelma & Louise. Easy and quick read. Not bad at all! #booksky📚💙

One of the richest, most successful women in the world wants what I have - and I hope she gets what she wants. She deserves what she wants. 🧡 #swifties #ijustwantyou #wishlist

Let me know if you sung this 🧡🎶

I love books and Taylor Swift, so why not put them together. #booksky📚💙 #swifties #cancelled #tloasg

As she should - and as all women should! 🧡

Cara Nicole @caranicol.bsky.social · 10d

For those calling her a trad wife, it’s ok to want love & to be happy you found it. It’s also ok not to want any of it. How about stop judging women for THEIR choices!

Cara Nicole @caranicol.bsky.social · 10d

So, Taylor switching from country to pop - bad idea. She wrote about high school: childish. She wrote about adult relationships: uncool. Then she was too edgy: kids listen to her after all. Then she did too much storytelling, was too depressed. Now she’s too damn happy? #swifties #tloasg

We should all be thankful to Taylor’s brother for reminding us that thinking about or talking to our exes is like eating out of the trash. 🧡 #swifties #opalite

This one has an interesting second storyline along with the main romance. Two writers are “competing” to write an aging starlet’s memoir. So many secrets are uncovered - just an overall great read. #booksky📚💙

And I’m a Democrat. Fuck MAGA! But I’m sick of our entire government. Period.

Cara Nicole @caranicol.bsky.social · 18d

Let’s be real. The Reps have a majority in the House & Senate. But they can’t pass the budget. They have 53 seats - 60 are needed to pass it. My husband goes to work tomorrow & won’t get paid until all of Congress gets their heads out of their own asses. You know who still gets paid though? CONGRESS

It’s a monstrous idea to say that suffering brings people closer to God & God is testing us when he allows bad things into our lives to prove our faith. Romanticizing suffering provides an excuse to not help others. People hide behind toxic Christianity to justify & even rejoice when others suffer.

I just bought it this weekend. I can’t wait!

Cara Nicole @caranicol.bsky.social · 20d

I absolutely love reading Emily Henry. This is a friends to lovers - forced proximity - watch each other in relationships - secretly in love - refuse to admit it - kind of romance. Oh - and they take an annual vacation with each other! What could possibly be keeping them apart?! Love it! #booksky📚💙

I was pleasantly surprised with this 2nd book. It’s not as good as The Plot, but it wasn’t a waste of time. It’s nice to see the villain get away every now & then. I really enjoyed how each chapter was the title of the sequel to a popular 1st book. That type of ingenuity tickles me. #booksky📚💙

The Sequel is sitting on the first book The Plot

There is so much happening at once that we can’t pay attention to any of it. BUT STOP! There’s a reason for this: they want you to forget about the files. #releasethefiles

I’m so over the hero worship of Charlie Kirk. I’m over these big companies bowing to fascism. I’m over Americans putting their heads in the sand and pretending that what is happening isn’t really happening. I’m just one person living in a fucking red state who is tired of the bullshit.

How I wish she was our president 😢

Kamala Harris @kamalaharris.com · Sep 18

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Cara Nicole @caranicol.bsky.social · Sep 18

The Plot is about an author who writes a book with an unusual storyline. As a reader, you get to read excerpts from the main character's book as well as read the story as it happens in the book itself. It's a bit meta but was quite interesting. I immediately picked it up the next book. #booksky📚💙

The Plot is the title written on a book with a white cover.
