It's a disservice for Kiss Of The Basilisk by Lindsay Straub to lack genre label #erotica. Yes, it's #romance. Yes, it's #fantasy. Sure, even dark romance/fantasy. But everywhere but Goodreads has left off the erotica label. C'mon, the author talks about stroking cock in the first chapter! #booksky

I am officially 3k behind on my pages goal for this year... There's no way I can catch up in the next two months, but I can still pat myself on the back for listening to 185 hours of #audiobooks this year (so far)! It's my first time really listening to books on audio!

#October reading wrap up on #Storygraph! Started to hit a slump, but Natural Beauty came at just the right time to remind me how much I love #horror. Too bad I couldn't read more of that genre during spooky season, but who's gonna stop me from enjoying horror in November? No one!

Just started Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang and I’m already halfway through! It reminds me of The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz and A Better World by Sarah Langdon- fever dream #horror with #sapphic under (or over in 2/3 of these) tones. Really enjoying it!

Currently reading Guardians Of Dawn: Yuli by @sjaejones.com! It’s the third in the series. As always, these covers are gorgeous! I would love to own them just for that fact alone!

September was a slower month for me- couple books took me quite a few days to finish and messed up my average time to finish. But at least I read everyday, keeping my streak going strong!

We told @time.com that journalists shouldn’t trade their independence for access to Pentagon spin.
“Agreeing not to look where the government doesn’t want you to look and, by extension, not to print what it doesn’t want you to print, is propaganda, not journalism.”

It took a month, but finally finished Emma! Shout out to @kathlenebrown.bsky.social for telling me Clueless is a retelling of Emma- gave me the push to power through! #JaneAusten is very talented, and I will definitely try another of her novels, but for now I think I need some short & sweet reading.

Do you have any advice for someone who may be interested in getting into book blogging? What sites would you recommend, if any? Any pitfalls to avoid for beginners?

Wrote this in The Sirens Call about mass shootings as the darkest, most violent form of extreme trolling and think it likely applies here as well.

A decade ago, the Heritage Foundation went full meltdown about how Obama was an imperial president when he had issued about the same number of executive orders -- though he had reached it after six years, not six months.

Here’s my #August #reading wrap up! It was a slower month of finishing books for me- Emma and My Name Is Barbra sure are long! But I do have an itch to reread all The Hunger Games books since finishing the illustrated edition!
What was the best book you read in August?

The plot is so lost that I’m not even sure it exists anymore… we cannot protect our earth because of imaginary lines? Tired.
On Wednesday, as firefighters worked to contain a 9,000-acre blaze in western Washington's forests, federal officials escorted 44 of those firefighters off the premises, arresting two of them on charges of illegally entering the country.
Border Patrol arrested firefighters as they were battling a wildfire

Right now I am struggling with #Emma by #JaneAusten and I fear it may be putting me in a slump. Have you read it? If you loved it, please give me (spoiler free) thoughts on what you loved about it! Looking for the inspiration to keep going. I'm about 22% in.

Getting into the reader social sphere often has me feeling like I'm not reading enough- so many people seem to finish a book a day!
So here's a reminder to me & anyone else experiencing this- read. It doesn't matter how slow you are, or how many books you finish in a month. Just. read.

Books and pages read and hours listened, 2024 compared to 2025. It’s interesting to note some monthly trends and how the introduction of audiobooks has bulked the amount I’ve read! Wonder how the rest of this year is gonna look!
