After years of thinking they were personality traits, I officially have ADHD.

Went to a bookstore yesterday! I only brought one of these beauties home. Can you guess which one? *Hint* It’s not the cat in the sweater. #booksky

Knowing I get to approve ARC requests is the coolest. Hope it makes you just as happy to read as it does for me to see your joy. Sunlight Playing Over A Mountain ARC Team is being finalized now. Apply before Friday. forms.gle/koLBNjVp1Ytp... #bookthreads

Happy Release Day - Rebel Witch ✨ Full review on Booksta #booksky

Just me trying to get some work done while America seems to fall apart. While listening to the most beautiful song called Ordinary. 🙃

One of the coolest things from my time on Booksta is as being chosen as a rep for Emily Cromwell Designs. I talk her art up whenever I can. 💕 So if you want beautiful bookish merch tell her Ruthie sent you - MUSINGS10

Tell me that you haven’t had your coffee yet in photos. I’ll go first:

Retail therapy is a lot easier when it’s books. You can buy some ebooks for a dollar. It’s a nice binge that you can throw in your grocery basket for less than a sweater. That little paper pick me up can take all forms and budgets. #bookthreads

🫧 Self Care Saturday 📖 Today’s the first day in a long time with no plans! A nice hot bath with a great read was all I wanted to accomplish. April Asher is one of my comfort read authors. If she wrote it, I’m going to enjoy it. #booksky

Chatting with a neighborhood mom today & I asked if she was wearing blue because she couldn’t make it to a protest today. She was confused at people were protesting, so I said ‘cause our country is going to hell in a hand basket. She said she needed to change. That our views don’t align. 🫣😳

Happy pub week to The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune! Read this quote & tell me you aren’t hooked: We’re separated by time and space. And yet, somehow, we’re all made of dust and stars. I will never forget that. You will never be alone because I will always be with you. #booksky

I didn’t make it to my local trump/musk protest so I donated to the ACLU. Lots of ways to show your support for democracy.

✨ TBR Tuesday ✨ Here are a few books from my TBR. I’m trying to read more books from my physical TBR bookshelf this year. I’ve highlighted two ARCs and two physical TBR picks. Do you have any reading goals? #booksky #tbr

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

I called my reps today. Getting back into the activism part. LFG

Signed back up for ResistBot @resistbot texts! I misread it as a dangerous prick. Off to drink more coffee ☕️ and make some phone calls.

My doctor's office intake papers ask if you've felt overwhelmed, sad or stressed in the last two weeks and I just wrote AMERICA.

Did you know you can call Costco corporate & thank them for their values? I did & the nicest human answered the phone. If you wanna get some positive karma points give them a call and say thank you. They are keeping a list for the CEO. 💕

The vibes I bring to the function . I’d like to think that I bring positive vibes with an edge of mama bear energy for my friends / family. I don’t trust easily but once I do, you get a dedicated friend. #booksky

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Star Friday Wow. I loved Onyx Storm. Onyx Storm was eloquent plus wit and snark that I loved. 🫶 I hope Rebecca feels accomplished and gets to revel in all that she’s built. Whenever book four comes I will be ready. #booksky

⚡️ Onyx Storm Silent Reading - Day 2 🖤 We have a new venue & animal companion today. We have been within a paragraph of each other while reading which has been so much fun for our gasps & laughter. Reading with a friend is honestly one of the best experiences. #onyxstorm #bookbesties #booksky

Onyx Storm Silent Reading Party We all brought our preferred format of Onyx Storm. We are cozied up by the fireplace with blankets and our books. Book besties are the best. 🖤📖⚡️ Are you back at Basgiath today? #fourthwing #onyxstorm #silentreading #readingparty #bookclub #smuttybookclub #booksky

Created my #booksky reader starter pack. Did I miss anyone? These people are all my favorite people from #booksta / #booktok go.bsky.app/FewQp46

As we head into Onyx Storm release week, please remember do not share any spoilers. Please and thank you. #booksky #onyxstorm

All Downhill From Here, a small town, forced proximity romcom is a feel good, low conflict, stand alone novel. If you are in the mood for a quick, lighthearted winter read with banter and spice, get your hot cocoa and fluffy socks and head down to the quirky town of Slippery Slopes, New Mexico.

Onyx Storm releases at 10pm next Monday (midnight EST)!!! Who else is nervous excited? I read Fourth Wing for the 4th time & my notes and highlights are 🙃; Goodreads sent my friends an email about it. I have 50 of my 101 notes public so feel free to enjoy my chaos & crazy theories.

Think I stumbled upon a new favorite beverage. Thai tea with chia seeds. Made it with a splash of dairy free coffee creamer because I had it in my fridge.

Want all the books but you cannot afford all the books? Your local library probably has a suggestion box. Today I learned I can suggest up to 20 books per month!

Forget Spotify wrapped, what I really want is how many times have I watched the eras tour. Not once in person but it’s been just a button away when I needed it.

Decluttering is such a dopamine rush. That is until you look around and see the piles.

I made my reading goal this year to be that I requested less advanced copies. I wanted to request only the books that sounded incredible or that I needed. I think I stuck to that pretty well. I got to mood read and explore much more this year. How has your goals for 2024 gone?
