giving preset birthday messages you can just send to everyone feels so disingenuous. I literally have the same birthday message posted on my Facebook timeline 14 times…

Thrift store had this textile in the ā€œthrows/blanketsā€ section, but I thought it felt more like a rug. Washed it, laid it out to image search it, and someone decided it was hers. Granted, I did do this like 15 minutes before her dinner, so it was more an attempt to stop me. #CatsofBlueSky #Ragdoll

A slow month, but a good one nonetheless! It’s very likely I’ll hit my initial reading goals in April. I’m likely going to bump my goal up to 50 books. #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š

Cat + reading picture today! Got up from reading my kindle and my cat positioned herself perfectly to make it look like she was reading my kindle. CR: The Hunger Games (A shameless re-read after finishing Sunrise) #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™ #CatsofBlueSky #CatsandBooks

ā€œWitchcraft for Wayward Girlsā€ 3.5 ā­ļø 🫣 I wanted to love it. The good parts were amazing but a majority of the book is confusing. There was definitely some confusion on the plot and plot points. I wish this book released closer to Halloween, as it would’ve been a cute Halloween read. #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™

as a southerner, southerners can be the most bitter people. someone asked in my city’s group for a marriage counselor recommendation. many people commented ā€œprayā€ or ā€œtalk to one anotherā€ how dare someone want to fix their marriage! how dare they!

my reading progress has been so slow lately šŸ˜”

oh yeah… I finished Sunrise of the Reaping. Of course, I loved it. Suzanne really saw Snow sympathizers and said ā€œoh, you mean this guy?? yeah lemme remind you about who he isā€ like holy shit. I have so many thoughts though…

why the fuck can’t this administration leave anything alone. leave IMLS the fuck alone. I love my museum and I love my libraries, local, federal, however. fuck DOGE. fuck Sonderling. and fuck Trump.

you’ve got to be fucking kidding me… UPS isn’t delivering my copy of Sunrise on the Reaping until TOMORROW 😭😭😭 I literally preordered this book a week after its announcement… I should be getting it TODAY. šŸ˜” #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š

ā€œArriving today by 8pmā€ this is why I wished my local bookstore did a midnight release for Sunrise on the Reaping. 😭

I am so disappointed my local bookstore isn’t doing a midnight release party for Sunrise on the Reaping like they did for Onyx Storm šŸ˜”

we survived the naders yesterday 🫔 but then my husband’s truck didn’t survive the shotty work done by a ā€œreputableā€ Toyota service center. so Monday is about to be really fun! I may get to let my attitude stretch its legs. At least I have Tuesday to look forward to.

so I just finished ā€œMy Dark Vanessaā€ and literally all I can think about is those men that would hit me up on kik when I was 15 what the fuck like it’s such a good book in its own fucked up way but it was also so conflicting truly speechless… #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™

audiobooks are gonna go crazy now and I won’t be thrown into a fit of rage when one slips out of my ear anymore šŸ™ƒ

after years of suffer with AirPods to ā€œfit inā€ I am returning to my roots… over the ear headphones šŸ™ŒšŸ» I may end up regretting the white, but I really didn’t want black because these are just so pretty

bro… if I put in the maintenance request… DONT CALL MY HUSBAND!!! he don’t know shit. I’m the one who noticed!!! I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG!!!!!! tired of these maintenance men calling my husband. CALL ME. THE ONE WHO PUT IN THE MAINTENANCE REQUEST!!!!

less than a week until ā€œSunrise on the Reapingā€!!! time to wrap up my current reads to prepare a binge read fingers crossed I get my pre-order on time šŸ¤žšŸ» #BookSky šŸ“ššŸ’™

disappointed but not surprised. I got my mother an e-reader for her birthday and went scouring for the perfect case. found one on Etsy. labeled as ā€œcustom madeā€ and ā€œmade to orderā€ it’s drop shipping from China. šŸ˜šŸ™ƒ

despite having ā€œplant caretakerā€ in my bio, I don’t think I’ve ever showed off my plants… put everyone out for some light and a good heavy misting! it’s a very basic and small collection, but I think they’re enough for me! also… yes… that one is in a cup… pending repotting!

being a cat parent is taking the produce boxes from grocery stores for your cat to enjoy #CatsofBlueSky 🐱

took my car for a service appointment and this older lady was obsessed with my kindle and couldn’t believe there was still people who actively read books… it was heartwarming, but also frightening at the same time

honestly, smut in books for me is hit or miss. it’s a thin line, but once it’s been crossed, I’m done. I managed to finish ā€œA Divided Heartā€ after putting it on pause several times and the amount of sex and times I had to see the word ā€œcockā€ was not for me… I prefer Torre’s suspense novels more

P.S. #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š ā€œWitchcraft for Wayward Girlsā€ is currently on sale as an ebook whether you use Amazon, Nook, Kobo, Apple Books, etc. This was on my TBR, so I went ahead and got the ebook since my local library does have it yet. šŸ™ƒ www.bookbub.com/books/witchc...

new glasses šŸ¤“ I decided not to get the cheapest blue light filtering lenses as they were a PAIN to keep clean. these are much better :)

kind of questioning if I should take off work the 18th so I can read ā€œSunrise on the Reapingā€ā€¦

stop using chatgpt. i can also use em dashes and lie to you

I am currently on a 73 day reading streak… my how time flies

so I am 6 books away from my reading goal for the year… I set a low reading goal in case I had a huge reading slump, but so far I haven’t. I know for a fact 2 books will be read as they’re anticipated pre-orders. so that leaves 4. I’m thinking about delving into longer reads now…

this country is so embarrassing

just now realized it’s the last day of February šŸ˜… my February reads! the month started out rocky, but we got some quality content afterwards! #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š

I got some new glasses today and I’m unsure of how I feel about them… it’s a bit of an adjustment but I just feel they don’t really fit me

is it 4:30 yet? 🫠

today is a special day to me! it’s my baby kitty girl’s birthday! 2 years ago Loretta was born and when I first saw pictures of her, I just knew she was for me. she’s been the greatest reason for my existence and I don’t think I’ll ever know love like I do with her. ā¤ļøšŸ„²

update!! after work, I stopped by a different dollar tree and was able to find the remaining portions of wallpaper to finish my bookshelves. so here if the final results!! I’m so happy with it. #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š

snug as a bug in a rug #CatsOfBlueSky #Ragdoll

staying up until 2 am to read with no one to bother me, ask me to do anything, or the stomping of my upstairs neighbors šŸ«¶šŸ¼

i sincerely value my alone time, i love the peace & quiet

my white bookshelves against my white apartment walls was not doing it. so I put some wallpaper in the backs!! I got the wallpaper at dollar tree, but when I found out I needed more panels & went back, they were sold out 😭 so only 1 & and half bookshelves are done regardless I love it! #BookSky šŸ’™šŸ“š
