Same. The retirement age being 60 something is such bs

Deal. I'll start packing my bags

I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow 😭

November's Reading Wrap-up! Not too bad of a month, found some new favorites, and got some books off the TBR that have been there for years (sorry Divine Rivals). Tbh seeing the graphic reminds me that I need to finish Crowns of Nyaxia after Alchemised 💙📚

I am just here to say, it’s okay to do things alone.

Go to that concert, go to that movie, go to that event, go to the restaurant. Whatever.

It’s scary the first time but it’s so worth it to not miss out on the things you want to do just because you don’t have someone to go with you.

Scheduled a therapy appointment and called my academic advisor to see if I can take a term off of my program 🎉 Been scared to advocate for myself recently but honestly it wasn't that bad to make a few calls and idk why I made such a big deal about it

I want to keep reading Alchemised but my mental health is not letting me focus on it or read something so heavy 😭

I believe in physical media SUPREMACY

Physical media >>>> 🤝🏻❤️😍

Anxiety can get fucked

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!! I hope you enjoy incredible food and thank you for making Bluesky so great 🦃🧡🤎

Omg I loved Forbidden Alchemy so much! I hope you have the best time reading it!!

Finally had the capacity to actually get started and omg its so hard to lay comfortably with this behemoth of a book

Owlcrate Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross side by side on a cowprint blank. Divine Rivals has a typewrite and pink flowers on it, while Ruthless Vows has a sword with blue flowers

Sprayed edges for Owlcrate Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross. Divine rivals is a light pink with a harp and flowers. Ruthless Vows is light blue with a violin and flowers

Backs of Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows. Divine rivals has pink flowers and ink splatters with the quote "I want your hand to be in mine no matter what comes" and Ruthless Vows has blue flowers and ink splatters and has the quote "Write me a story where there is no ending. Write to me and fill my empty spaces."

Ugly sobbing because I told my boyfriend that I just read Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows for the first time and loved them and how I thought the Owlcrate editions were gorgeous but too expensive resale. And he got them for me as a surprise since I've been really down lately 😭

Officially off of work for a week which means it is finally time to read this.

Impatiently waiting for my specialist appointment at the beginning of next month. So angry that I've been waiting since September and dealing with these issues since then. I'm exhausted and just want it all to stop

To bring back some positivity: I love booksky, I love seeing all your book threads and your recs, I love the way y’all decorate your kindles, I love how everyone agrees that audiobooks count, I love bookish/character art, I love hearing about your book boyfriends, I love LE books, and book clubs

I’m tired of people shitting on romantasy, I’m tired of people making dark romance a competition of how much they can handle, I’m tired of people bragging about their book count, I’m tired of resellers and I’m tired of elitism in the book space

Just saw a TikTok suggesting to take photos of bookshelves at thrift stores, upload them to ChatGPT, and have it tell you what books are on the shelves and which ones are recommended. Just look at the shelves?? Read the summaries?? Pull up Goodreads or something?? Why do you need AI to bookshop????

seeing calls again for holiday boycotts from all mega corporations so here is my two cents:

boycotting is a privilege.

if you have the financial means to shop elsewhere besides amazon or walmart for xmas gifts, that’s awesome! so proud of you.

Made tea, forgot tea, reheated tea, forgot tea again. The circle of life.

Illumicrate alternate dust jackets for Bride and Mate by Ali Hazelwood. Bride shows a man with cupping the jaw of a woman with blonde hair and in all white, looking up at him in front of a window overlooking a city. Mate shows a brunette woman and man embracing, looking at eachother in front if a window overlooking a oceanside cliff

Just got the chance to put the alternate dust jackets on! They're so pretty 😍

I definitely prefer my e-reader! I get distracted easily with notifications or the temptation of other apps when trying to read on my phone. They're pretty comfortable to hold for a long time, they're fairly light and there are plenty of smaller sized e-readers if needed!

For science?? Say less. The window is unlocked and I'll even leave them right next to it. Can't wait to see what happens! 😄

AH! So excited for you! My tracking was not working so it was pleasant surprise on my end!

Sprayed edges for Illumicrate Bride and Mate by Ali Hazelwood. Bride has bats flying around clouds and a full moon. Mate has a wolf silhouetted by a full moon howling

My Illumicrate editions of Bride and Mate came in!!!!! They're so gorgeous I could cry. I'll fuss with the alternate dust jackets when I'm not at work but I'm screaming!!! #booksky

Have apple cider being made in the crockpot, doing some cleaning and decorating for Christmas, and now get to listen to some new Ali Hazelwood. Life is good today 💙📚

Cover for Violet Thistlewaite is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz hardcover, on a green rug with daisies

CR: Violet Thistlewaite is Not a Villain Anymore

Picked this up as a Book of the Month pick and so far I'm enjoying this a lot more than I initially imagined I would

#booksky #currentlyreading

4.5/5 ⭐️
I really loved this one, to the point I kept stopping because I didn't want it to end. It was such a perfect mix of cozy, funny, and heartbreakingly real. Emily Henry’s writing always hits a little too close to home and I’m once again obsessed.

I had a terrible day but luckily for me, BookOutlet started their fiction sale today. I may have broken the book buying ban and spent a decent amount of money but at least I'm happier now 🤷🏻‍♀️
