Today is the perfect day not to get out of bed. A snowstorm is coming, I have a heated blanket, cats, snacks, and both books and video games. What more could I need?

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

God, this is just like Covid all over again. Waking up each morning and just...

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me. Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz. His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

Those leopards are looking mighty full and it's only been a week....

Was talking to a friend recently about the #Empyrean Series (Fourth Wing, etc). The way I see it, it's not incredible literature by any means. However, it is super enjoyable. Essentially, it's the Ghirardelli brownie mix. Still not great for you, and not as good as from a bakery, but very tasty!

I FINISHED ONYX STORM! Let's talk about it! I have thoughts! And questions! Spoilers! #onyxstorm #fourthwing

As a librarian, I support this wholeheartedly!

Hail coffee, full of cream, caffeine is with thee. Blessed art though amongst beverages, and Blessed is the result of thy consumption, wakefulness.

Yaaayyy! Snow Day! Went from a 3 hour delay to a full snow day! I get to stay home with the cats! And the spouse. Time to read Onyx Storm!

Welp, I rather fell off the wagon of my 20 books, 20 days challenge. I should pick that back up.

We have snow on the ground today! I've been hoping for a good 3-4 inch snowfall in my part of the world. It's so pretty. I like to just sit and watch it while I drink my coffee. Times like this, you have to find the little things to love.

the feminine urge to travel to beautiful cities, visit old museums and second hand bookstores, read books in cafes, drink coffee and eat my weight in pastries.

Today was the Mondayest Thursday ever.

Happy New Year

Hey #booksky, what do you read when you want comfortable escapism? Like Ilona Andrews, Tamora Pierce, Mercedes Lackey, etc. Having a rough mental health bit and looking for some new recommendations. (I usually read sci-fi/fantasy and other speculative fiction, but all recs welcome.)

Orion is looking very regal whilst he bathes this morn.

Thoughts while listening to some EDM covers as I write up program plans: Now that I've learned the real lyrics to #LadyGaga 's #PokerFace, I can't unhear them and, more importantly, can believe I didn't hear them before. 🤯 It's really not subtle, but I guess the brain hears what it expects to...
