A reading pet peeve of mine is when an author ends a sentence with β€œβ€¦or something.” Those two words could easily just be replaced with a period 😭

Reviewing every book sold in my area stores and ordering inventory has me looking like this during December. Stay strong, retail friends. (The only reason I love doing this is because it’s books).

It’s interesting to see what Spotify thinks of you. (And my Wrapped for tax). #spotify

Neither, I’m the one that always passes over the cranberry sauce. BUT I do always like how funny the canned cranberry sauce looks.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) πŸ’™πŸ“š

Yeah, I don’t hold well-intentioned mistakes against bookstores. We’ve all been there! Non-bookstores, though, have done this quite a bit recently with big releases without seeming to care as much (Target, Walmart, and Amazon were a mess with Iron Flame last year).

A place that sells books on the side messing up a strict-on-sale date of a highly anticipated upcoming release? *Pretends to be shocked*

I’m unfortunately behind on reading the rest of the series, but Black Sun is amazing and needs more hype!

I’ll admit this is my second try on it. I originally quit about that far in for that reason, but since the audiobook is so short, I thought it would be worth a second shot (that, and the author quoted Sagan during her awards speech). Will see!

Listening to Orbital and wondering, β€œSo when do they realize they aren’t alone? When does the spaceship get lost? When do people start mysteriously dying? Oh yeah, it’s not that kind of space book.”

I’m only a few chapters in (been too distracted recently to read much), but it is delightful so far! Feels like coming home πŸ’™

It’s not hoarding if it’s books. It’s building a personal library.
