I had a run of reading really good books and now the last three I’ve picked up are eh. And DNFs.
Disappointment.
Where has my luck gone? I was enjoying that! 💙📚

It’s Spotify wrapped time again (in which I complain that they don’t do the full year every year).
These are the only two worth showing as my top artist, all my top songs, and my top album are all the killers because I listen to them all night when I’m ill and also when I nap. So. Most days!

I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday to get blood tests done. I haven’t had any in 3+ years (or see a doctor actually) so I really should get them but.
Ugh. I don’t wanna. #pwME #MECFS
There are so many other things I could be doing with that little bit of energy instead. And the PEM too. Sigh

I baked banana bread! We had bananas that were going off & I’ve turned into my mum so I had to make some with it.
It was a super easy, 1 bowl recipe that even I could make with no help! (I did sit down though!) #pwme
I only managed to get a photo after everyone had some😂 so I guess it was a hit.

A brilliant engineer must work with the scientist who trapped thousands in small gems to save them, but to do so, they will need to learn to trust one another—with the science, with their loved ones, and with their confused aro hearts.

November is my sickiversary for my chronic illness
(I could argue it’s at the start of January but ironically with Christmas /new year, I’d be too fatigued to celebrate it then…)
I got sick at 15. This year my ME/CFS is 18 years old. It can drink! I can’t though - it’s given me alcohol intolerance😅

I went on kobo plus to make a wish list of books to be ready for a kobo plus trial/make sure I could find enough to make it worth it and. Now I have TOO many amazing sounding books on kobo plus to know where to start😅
Oh no. But a good oh no? 💙📚

Kobo is doing a 30 day free trial promotion for their Kindle Unlimited competitor service Kobo Plus for new subscribers (not sure if this is US only), if you like queer indie books, small press SFF, and backlist SFF from large publishers there's a lot to choose from on this service that's not on KU!

It’s that time of of year where everyone is talking about what books they’re looking forward to in 2026 and I realise I’ve barely read any 2025 books. And. Oh no.
This is terrifying. 💙📚

If you're an avid reader who loves monthly subcriptions, you can get all my books in Kobo Plus (alongside many other indies!). Great way to devour Nerezia!
We love a subscription service that doesn't ask exclusivity from its authors ~

It’s getting colder. I’m in the mood for SFFH queer romance books that feature winter festivals/holidays?
Must be:
🦄Science fiction, fantasy, or historical
🏳️🌈M/m or non binary, agender, genderqueer romance
🎄Some kinda holiday/festival. It doesn’t even have to be winter😂 I just want traditions

Update on my mosaic crochet blanket 🧶
I’ve got to say, anytime I see this one laid out, I’m in awe of the pattern. It’s so easy? And yet, so pretty? 👀
On the one hand, I wanna make loads in different colours. On the other hand, at this stage of the game, each row is like 4000 stitches and oh no.

My first nibling was born this week! 👶🏼
I have a little niece now and I made her a baby blanket a few months ago which I can finally share online!

And yes, I absolutely forgot how to do this crochet blanket I’m halfway through and had to go back and read up all the instructions again😅
