And Costco continues to get all of my money!

Who among us hasn’t been in this position after “ransacking” a bunch of booze!

PSA: please please please do not use independent retailers as “amazon showrooms” this holiday season. we see you and it’s disheartening AF

Going in on Death By Lightning

So incredibly sad

There's a GoFundMe for Bookstore Romance Day so it can happen in 2026. The panels in past years have been entertaining and informative - and I picked up some new authors from them!

As the year ends we've increased the footprint of indie presses from around the country. As times change it's important to support these smaller publishers who are putting out fascinating books. It's not surprising that so many indie pubs are putting out award winners. #smallpress #indiepublishers

Where is the source because I very much want to believe this is real.

Glorious

If you have the opportunity, please visit her museum in Paris. It was fascinating!!

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

12 days of work in 103 days.

My happiest moments in the kitchen is when I can throw together some bits and bobs and turn out a great meal. So satisfying.
