I cried listening to my book this morning and then road raged on my way into the office. Someone better be paying a visit soon.

Hers I recognized right away. I had to look up the doctor (?) and was so giddy.

These are outrageously cute!

My kid looking over my shoulder goes “cappuccino ballerina!”, so…I guess so.

Currently reading:

📖 Kiss of the Basilisk 🐍
🎧 Love in Focus (ALC)

2 absolute romps!

My 7th grader just tore through them. She was bored with her English class reading one chapter at a time in class, but when she got them to read at home, only a concussion (oops) slowed her down. We had a movie marathon this weekend.

Hoping to finish up Unromance by Erin Connor today with my 👀
Started Sunrise on the Reaping last night with my👂
Kind of can’t stop sneaking away to read Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love.

#SnowInLoveBingo board. Grey background with a red banner and darling winter-themed illustrations including a scarf-wearing raccoon, toadstool, fox, polar bear and opossum and a 3-piece snowman band. Illustrated by @sarelizabeth13. The board is complete with a book in each slot. Happy to share details if you want 😊

That’s a wrap! Goodbye winter (hopeful). #SnowInLoveBingo with @firewhiskeyreader.bsky.social

Image: Aidy Bryant with quote text: 40 is a big time in your life. I feel like a lot of people in their 40s are realizing that their whole life they’ve actually been bi. And maybe it’s less that you’re discovering bi-ness, and it’s more that you’ve realized you can kinda get horny from anything.

Sexuality and tastes in romance books ever-expanding 🩷💙💜

She was Defenseless! I loved that Sol usually is playing it coy about everything, but with the glasses she’s all, “I did wonder that, yes!” Hahaha.

Image of book quote on pink background: “I think in the back of my mind, as soon as he said his boys weren’t home, I knew it would happen.” I pause to give my next statement the gravity it deserves. “He was wearing glasses when I got there.” They both gasp because we all know I have a spectacles kink. “And you immediately wondered,” Hendrix intones without a trace of humor, “How does one best sit on a man’s face when he’s wearing glasses?” “I did wonder that and not for the first time, yes.” I shrug helplessly. “They were black rimmed. I’m not made of stone.” Kennedy Ryan This Could Be Us

@firewhiskeyreader.bsky.social has a prompt in the winter challenge that is just “Glasses” and @kennedyryan.bsky.social delivers. #romancelandia

I love that he had to learn to wield the mustache in Treat.

Let’s go CHIEFS! ❤️💛❤️💛

A public service. Thank you.

It’s so dang delicious!

Way too many, as per usual. 2 that are new to me, and on StoryGraph, are Unusual Romance Tropes 2025 and Diverse Trope Challenge 2025.

There really needs to be a “not interested in this author” function within the Kindle world.

That was my mom’s, lol. Lucky bird/dolphin.

First reads for 2025:
📖 Grand Theft N.Y.E. by Karina Jackson
🎧 With Love, from Cold World by Alicia Thompson
🩷📚

That was seven years ago. No attempt was made to keep him. Our luck did not perish with him.

Orange bell pepper with green M&M eyes attached with nacho cheese. You work with what you have.

Lucky banana, lucky orange, lucky orange bell pepper

Seven years ago, we got creative.

Pig with a lemon for a body, chocolate chips for eyes, toothpicks for legs, and a twisty tie for a tail

Oh my god. We are going to have such good luck this year! Anyone remember this guy from the bird a bunch of years ago! #goodluckpig #newyearspig #lemonpiglet

For the second-chance prompt, I did Snowed In delivery for Christmas by Jilli Waters, a short, sweet book about a mail carrier who gets assigned to her ex’s route right before Christmas, and Oh no! They get snowed in. Main characters in their 40s, KU, 64 pgs

Starting Mrs. Claus today 🤩

I used my Wild Card prompt as a bucket for all the seasonal books I read that didn’t fit neatly into anywhere else

❄️Snow-Kissed Proposals by Jenni Fletcher & Elizabeth Hobbes
🎄Merry Inkmas by Talia Hibbert
🛷The 3 Toy Runner novellas by Adrianna Herrera
🤶A Man for Mrs. Claus by Rebekah Weatherspoon

And they’re both extremely horny after years of single-dad enforced celibacy, leading to a questionable use of buttercream.
