surely Auburn will fire Hugh Freeze now? SURELY? 🥴

congrats to Kentucky

look, I know people pay whatever to go to romance book signings but I just personally feel like prices are getting out of hand

this is the latest sponsored post I got but this, bookcon, Apollycon…I’ll be sticking to the public book festivals

they don’t throw punches in baseball?

incredible things are happening on the West End because omg

also what they post in their emails vs their social media is at odds too with allowed bag sizes and whether they need to be clear or not. it’s all very confusing

I like how the local theatre keeps telling people no photos and videos of the Broadway tour show are allowed but they keep reposting everyone’s photos and videos 🤦🏻‍♀️

oh nice! I’ve seen mostly contemporary romances out at TJ Maxx but not much luck with adult fantasy ones yet

😭🤣

Tennessee's entrance at night looks incredible

At Costco, the book called The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon and illustrations by Giovanni Battista Piranesi for $25.99

A look at the stenciled edges that depict soldiers in battle

nothing says a book needs stenciled sprayed edges like the fall of the Roman Empire at Costco lol

seeing the list of possible Fairyloot romantasy pics, and I’m now glad I dropped the sub for epic fantasy

(I’m so much pickier with romantasy books? kinda like how I am with dark romance which is why I’m not subscribed to any DR boxes either)

GOALPOSTS ARE DOWN AT SMU

The goalposts yearn for the sea!

I think their closest option might be a fountain on campus.

After picking Carson Beck in OT, SMU gets a TD to beat Miami

apparently I’m stuck rereading this 375k word fic 😭 it’s deeply problematic on the relationship front but so addicting to read, and then it’s like…tax accounting. can’t help but laugh.

there’s just so much day to day stuff detailed here I just know this has to be, or has been, the author’s job

oh Libro fm has GOOD audiobooks in their November Influencer ALCs this month

Ya know, Penn throws toast on the field. And you know how they clean it up?

A toast zamboni. I swear to God, this is real.

Someone get Tech a tortilla zamboni.

it’s always so interesting to hear what commentators say during blowout games

because saying “there’s not a whole lot of time left in the world” (for Sam Houston) is wild lol

well if nothing else since I can’t access ESPN channels, I can watch 0-7 Sam Houston take on LA Tech lol (which I was planning to watch anyways)

so I do love that authors are partnering with indie bookstores for preorder campaigns but idk how many more new accounts I have in me that I’m willing to create 💀

this, in addition to having to use Windows 11, is miserable

hasn’t been a single thing I’ve liked about Windows 11. but thankfully my home computer is a Mac 🙂‍↕️

Right of the space bar is simply an ALT key and a Copilot key before the page direction keys. They removed the Windows key and the Control keys

I would like to complain about one of my new work laptops.

they got rid of the right side CTRL key and have a useless Copilot key so I can no longer do CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+ENTER to unlock or insert page breaks on my laptop one handed and I am suffering 😭

this man is a true poster

Quicksilver by Callie Hart new hardcover editions where the book title looks like it reads Callie Hart Quick Silver. Walmart edition is white dust jacket, normal edition is black

Apprentice to the Villain green sprayed edges is a hair taller than the ones that aren’t sprayed

Christmas Eve Love Story by Ginny Baird, a 12 day advent book

A snapshot of the mass market paperbacks at Walmart. Not a whole lot but somehow still more than newer B&Ns will stock

the new Quicksilver covers also has a Walmart edition and I still think the font size choice was a mistake.

Apprentice to the Villain sprayed edges vs plain edges are 2 different heights. also, spotted the advent book and obligatory pic of the mass market paperbacks being sold.

The Crimson Throne by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis Walmart edition has maybe a new colorway on the cover in a light pink

The Crimson Throne has a reversible artwork illustrated dust jacket of the couple

Be warned however that The Crimson Throne edges might not be aligned

Fake Skating by Lynn Painter Walmart edition is in a metallic silver. Good luck to people trying to do flatlay pictures with it

some more special editions. the stenciled edges not being centered would bug me

Mate by Ali Hazelwood, Walmart edition is the bright neon green variation

Mate Walmart edition interior couple illustrated artwork

His Grace, The Duke by Emily Rath has a discreet cover of florals and leaves and idk what the main focus is on the cover. Rope maybe?

His Grace, the Duke interior illustrated artwork of the four characters

it’s unclear whether or not there are going to be kids in my neighborhood trick or treating this year so I stopped by the store to grab some candy last minute. and here’s a look at some books at Walmart.

that Mate edition is GREEN lol and how fun they’re stocking a polyam histrom book.

maybe I should not have waited until the last day or early voting to go to the library to vote 😵‍💫

not a long line but there is a line

…Frankenstein or Hamlet? lol

y’all know all those bully dark romance books that take place in high school/college?

I want the authors to write like a novella or something from the perspective of a normal kid at those schools that has nothing to do with the characters but is observing the madness from a distance lol
