#owlcrate #specialedition of #moderndivination by #isaagajanian

This was a #fallvibes read. It felt #cozy at times w the main action not really taking up a large part of the story. The #magic was interesting and I wish we got more info on it. Lots of #mysteries and secrets

It really interesting to read a #commitmentphobic pov in a #book

I feel like this a perspective we don’t get honest commentary on. #booksky #currentread #moderndivination

I’m probably too old for this paragraph in my #currentread to sum me up so accurately. It’s difficult to silence my brain.

I don’t know how to function if a man is actually interested in me. And god forbid wants a relationship. #bookskye #books #relationshipphobic #butistilllovelove #quietmybrain

#fall makes me so #happy

I love opening the windows and airing my home out on weekends. Maybe it’s the #german dna coming out. Haha

#ainethedoodle loves the porch.

Did a thing this week. My old car was 12 and having some issues.

It was time. While I hate spending money and having a car payment for the first time in 10 years makes me itch…..I do love my #newcar.

Adding some #bling and enjoying the #fueleconomy I love a #hyrbid

Introducing the most spoiled #dog in the world. Yes the entire world. Put a fuzzy blanket on her and she does not move all night. #ainethedoodle #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs

My best friend resting. She has had a hard day guarding the house. But I am happy to report nothing was stolen today. She is the goodest of girls. #guarddog #lazydog

I loved the commentary on the validity of history (it being written by the victors), how religion can be used to manipulate the masses, and questioning what good and evil truly are.

#Alchemised by #senlinyu is a story about #magic #war & what people will do to #survive. started as Harry Potter Fan fiction

If you want HP you can find the characters if you keep your eyes open. If you don’t want HP there is #plot & #characterdevelopment independently.

A girl and her #whiskey (from the talk last night)

Whiskey + ginger beer + splash of lime

Loved the relaxed and calm vibe in the terrace bar before the show. No lines. No crowds. Just chill atmosphere and smooth drinks.

“I'm part of the universe," she said. "A tiny piece, I admit, maybe never an important or mathematically significant one, but still a piece. You and I are not separate from it. No one is.”

Chills from this paragraph.

Me and my friend/research partner submitted a #grant application to support a #research project we want to do last week.

Send us the #goodvibes and #positivity that we are selected. We are both super excited about this and really want to make a positive impact on our field with the results.

It’s embarrassing how many Americans don’t know that Puerto Rico is a US territory. And at one point was given the chance to vote on becoming the 51st state (they voted no).

But people want to call ICE on Bad Bunny because of the Super Bowl halftime show.

This is the second #book in in the #bridgekingdomseries by #daniellejensen #thetraitorqueen and it was definitely better than the first. J may actually look into getting books 3 and 4. They’re a duology as well. This has #politicalintrigue #war #desert #jungle

Ran my #halfmarathon today. I’ve ran this particular #race before & always forget what a challenging course it is. Decent temps but high humidity lots of #elevatoon gain. It was challenging but well supported by the community. Not my best time but I’m happy. #training

#thebridgekingdom by #daniellejensen was a decent #romantasy story. There is no magic.

I do enjoy #politicalintrigue so enjoyed that aspect of the story. I’m not in love with this but it was good. I plan to finish the second book of this #duology and maybe stop #bookreview #booksky 💙📚

Finished the #fairyloot #specialedition of #metalslinger

First of all: did the editor ever enter the chat?

Second: the twist. It’s not super believable

I did actually enjoy the bad guy. the reveal of the bad guy made this feel more like a villain origin story. 💙📚

I accidentally ran this 60 min #SusieChan #pelotonapp #treadmill class for the 2ndSaturday in a row.

I ran farther, improved my overall pace, ran faster but with a lower average heart rate, My strive score was lower

it’s cool to re-do a workout to see how you are progressing #runner #training
