Screenshot of a text conversation with my mom. I tell her I downloaded an app and mention starting the second book in an eight-book series. She replies, “8 books. Wow! Good luck. I look forward to seeing the reviews. Even though I have no idea what you’re talking about. I like watching what you have to say. 😘” The exchange shows her constant support and encouragement.

I miss my mom so much…

She was my number one fan…

Loving my new piece. Thanks to @moostattoos on Instagram.

Never read a Colleen Hoover book, & was hesitant to when recommended Verity, but wow was it good.

Started the book Tuesday, 09/09, & finished it today. I just couldn’t put it down & it had me at the edge of my seat.

I wonder if she has any other thrillers cause this pleasantly surprised me.

A person stands smiling with their arms raised in front of the towering entrance arch to Epic Universe. The ornate green and gold structure features celestial-themed designs with rings, spheres, and planetary motifs. The arched gateway behind the person is inscribed with the phrase: “You wonder never cease, the path to chart the answer lies within your heart.” The person wears a black outfit with sneakers and a lanyard, posing at the center of the walkway leading into the park.

Thirty, flirty and thriving ✨

The more I read this book the crazier it gets. Especially with Loren’s predatory ass.

Oh no…

I think what also gives me the ick is the fact that this book was written by a mother and daughter.

Now you may be asking, why are you still reading it?

Well tbh I’m invested.
It’s so bad it’s good.

I just need to know what’s going on.

The child predatory themes in this book is not what I expected.

Like sir, she is 17. Please stop.

His name is Oreo 🥹

A small black and green jumping spider perches atop a colorful rainbow decoration inside a clear enclosure. The rainbow, made of layered arcs in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, is anchored by two white cloud shapes with magnets attached. In the background, pink mesh lines the wall and various climbing elements and structures are visible

A person with short, two-toned hair—black on one side and platinum blonde on the other—gazes upward with their hand partially covering their face. They wear a pastel tie-dye shirt, silver jewelry, and have detailed black tattoos on their arms and hands. Their nails are painted black with marble-like designs, and a large gemstone ring is prominently displayed on their ring finger

The same person rests their face on their hand, squinting one eye in a playful or tired expression. Their short, half-black, half-platinum hair is clearly visible. They’re wearing a pastel tie-dye shirt, silver chain necklace with a dagger pendant, and a complimenting bracelet with a silver heart. Tattoos of various designs decorate their arm, and the same black marble-patterned nails and gemstone ring are visible.

Highkey obsessed with the new hair.

I know people mean well but it’s been frustrating to be asked “how are you doing?” or “what’s wrong?”

Like my mom died…

I’m not okay and I can’t see her.

(Sorry to bring anyone down)

A copy of the book titled “Kiss From a Monster Series: Volume One” by Charlotte Swan is centered on a carpeted floor. Surrounding the book are several illustrated art prints depicting intimate scenes between humans and various fantasy or monster-like creatures, featuring bold, colorful, and sensual styles. A hand with metallic silver nails points at the bottom of the book cover.

TikTok has influenced me to check out indie author Charlotte Swan’s Kiss From A Monster Series.

Love the art that was included and she even signed the book.

Keep an eye out for my thoughts on the short stories.

So far loving my office!

#officetour

Needed to share the results of my bookshelves. I love them 🥰

And at 4am I decided to get myself out of the slump.

Just finished Betrayed by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast and I must say it wasn’t bad.

Yes it took me two months to finish, especially since hitting the slump, but now I’m curious to see what will happen next.

#booksky #2025Reads

Feels like I’m so MIA, but I just got a new apartment and I now have an office.

Heading to IKEA now for some bookshelves 😋

#booksky

The amount of protests today gives me some hope…

With everything going on in LA I don’t know how I’m supposed to just focus on reports and social metrics.

#stressedAF #LAProtests

Almost done with Betrayed by PC & Kristin Cast & I have some thoughts:

1. Why Stevie Rae?! 😭
2. Neferet is so SUSS. 👀
3. Zoey better not mess this thing she has with Erik. He is too good for her.
4. Heath needs to stop. I get he’s imprinted but it’s not gonna work.
5. Where’s Loren?

A digital reading tracker calendar for May 2025 shows a mix of reading and non-reading days. Book cover icons mark reading days: “Marked” appears on May 3 and 7, while “Betrayed” appears on May 8, 13, 24, 26, 29, and 31. The calendar uses light grey squares for “Days read” and white squares for “No reading.” A legend at the bottom labels a blue square as “Best 2025 streak,” though no such square appears on the calendar.

“Oh you must read a lot!”

Suuurreeee 😅

Working in corporate America is not for the weak.

Cause I have to be professional when in reality I just want to send the middle finger emoji 😅

Wishing it was Friday..

I was so surprised how dull it was. Especially cause the show is so good.

Usually the book is always better 😅

Hoping to get out of my reading rut soon cause I have been so disappointed in myself.

Ever since I DNF Handmaid’s Tale I’ve only read one other book since.

A tall, ornate green and gold structure marks the entrance to “Epic Universe,” featuring a celestial design with rings, planets, and a large golden armillary sphere at the top. Below, an arched gateway displays a sign reading: “Beyond this gate find gardens of dreams and epic worlds to fill your dreams.” The scene is framed by decorative gates, blooming flowers, and distant buildings under a clear blue sky.

Ready for another Epic day ☺️

A close-up of a small black and green jumping spider resting on a green plastic platform inside an enclosure. To the left, a clear cylindrical container holds a small insect, possibly a feeder item. A yellow, cloud-shaped decoration is partially visible above, and a white crocheted or netted fabric serves as the background.

How this little man brings me joy 🥰

A colorful display of eight plush toys from the ‘Big into Energy’ collection by Pop Mart is arranged on a carpeted floor. The plushes have large, expressive eyes and toothy grins, each dressed in soft, fuzzy animal onesies in various pastel and bright colors like pink, blue, purple, green, and gray. Behind them is a branded display stand with a rainbow background and the text ‘Big into Energy’ in bold, playful lettering.

For those of you who don’t know, I have become a labubu collector and I officially have the whole Big Into Energy set.

Just really wanted to share that 😅

A pastel-themed graphic titled ‘Book Review’ features the novel ‘Marked’ by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. The book cover, showing a partial face of a young woman against a black patterned background, is centered with arrows pointing outward labeled ‘Rushed,’ ‘Cute,’ ‘Nostalgic,’ and ‘Coming-of-Age.’ Below the book cover, the title and authors’ names are written, followed by a 3.5/5 star rating with purple stars. The Instagram handle ‘@inkboundarchives’ is displayed at the bottom.

Enjoyed rereading Marked but it didn’t hit as hard as the first time I read it.

It’s very much a YA book & I loved Zoey, Stevie, Damien & Erik. I even caught myself giggling & kicking my feet like I did as a teen.

The ending was rushed but excited to read Betrayed for the first time.

A small, heart-shaped hollowed-out walnut shell ornament is suspended by a twine string. Inside the shell, moss is packed as bedding, and a small black and white jumping spider with iridescent green mouthparts is visible resting within the cozy setup. The background features a crocheted or netted fabric pattern.

My little jumping spider, Oreo, has settled in nicely into his home 🥰
