let me tell you now that I'm about to start, my enthusiasm certainly dwindled 😅

3 books you've read at least twice 💜 Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie 💜 Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao 💜 Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke #BookSky

I rarely DNF, I think I'm generally fairly good at choosing books that I at least appreciate on some level. My last couple of DNFs were because I couldn't connect with the characters so I was bored and annoyed, and/or the writing was repetitive, clumsy, confusing.

gonna workout for an hour today and it's going to be ✨ lovely ✨

more Skylark? more Skylark. #WIPSnips quick contextless snip from the Very Intense Spaceship Chase towards the end of the book. they've got a plan, y'alls!! it even...it even goes okay for a little while! 😅 ...this is also right after my ✨ shameless Jurassic Park quote ✨

I'm mostly lawful or true neutral now, sometimes neutral evil. I've been chaotic good before, too.

4am I'm Awake Free Me (it's bc we're taking kitty to vet, and she can't eat now, and she's taking that Personally, and I'm Anxious)

I have Skylark open for ~* reasons *~ so here's an unusual occurrance, me posting a Skylark snippet for a game like this. This one's called "main characters are definitely NOT into committing mass murder" 👍✨ #WIPsnips

Haha..ha...hah.... 🫠 I only recently realized how much it fucked me up that when I was a tween, one time I accidentally put an empty milk box back into the fridge. I was called stupid and lazy after that for what felt like *months*. Even now thinking about it, I start hyperventilating.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. I'm good. 💪

Do we think Lilje will hit 40 reviews BEFORE release??? 👀 2 more and she's beat River in the Galaxy!
