2025 was the year I got back into reading.

through the privilege of free time + a little bit of an audiobook obsession, I made it to 300 books read.

I’m here for the vibes & the romance,
so let’s see what 2026 has in store 📚💙

my birthday is in two weeks and I think it would be cool if you:

1) replied with your favorite romance novel, and
2) added my favorite to your TBR

so grateful for my #boosky moots & thought maybe this might be a fun way to get to know y’all better 🥳✨💖

lmk if anyone is interested in a buddy read ♡

Growing green beans <3 #CriticalRoleFanart #CriticalRole
A digital illustration of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss from Critical Role. They're gardening together. Caleb is wearing a simple white shirt and brown trousers, and watering a raised bed of green beans. Essek is wearing a wide brimmed straw hat, an apron, a dark long sleeved shirt, dark trousers, and rose patterned gloves. He's crouched down potting a plant and smiling up at Caleb, who is looking down at Essek, smiling and talking.

Still playing Animal Crossing New Horions. #shadowgast
Caleb Widowgast and Essek Thelyss drawn in a style reminiscent of the character designs for Animal Crossing New Horizons. Caleb is sitting on the ground, legs stretched out in front of him, holding up a flower to a floating Essek. Essek is looking down at the flower with a strange expressions on his face. His hands are clenched together with emotion.

if you see that I have multiple current reads right now, that’s because I do.

I have brain goblins rooting around up there and holding my attention for a handful of minutes and then deciding it’s time to move on or get very angry.

CR: Headstrong by Eden Finley 🌈💜
Narrated by Iggy Toma & Tim Paige 🎧📚💙

I’ve been putting this one off because it’s not really related to any other characters.

however, this quote was skeet-worthy:

“gay virgin recruits straight man to get him laid—sounds like the butt of a joke.”

“I like butts!”
