I know this will apply to a select few, but oh my god the update on Garbanzo the cat this morning has me in tears. Rachel is an angel.

The only downside of getting an ARC of THE BUFFALO HUNTER is I cannot use the eBook dictionary feature for certain words, and have to look them up like a Luddite.

You all know I love novelty cookbooks. We had several on our wedding registry, and I’ve posted about some of them before. Well, I think I have found the crown jewel of my collection.

Hoping for more great horror in 2025. I want more LGBTQ+ horror, more horror from BIPOC writers, more horror mixed with whatever authors love. I want more smart, unique horror that doesn't care about being easy to digest. I want more horror full of positionality. I want it all.

Hate waking up to see the news out of New Orleans. Such a great city full of amazing people who deserve to feel safe during large celebrations.

I read 135 books this year, and here are my top four faves, with three honorable mentions. Before I get into my picks, I want to caution/explain/advise you not judge yourself against me.

Really rude of me to live in a city where I can’t just go get a beignet for breakfast.

On our way home, we had to stop at Buc-ee’s, and while we were there, Tuna got to meet a potbelly pig named Van! 🦫 🐽 ⛽️

Desire and I were not big fans of the LaLaurie Mansion—which is not a museum, and sold for a whooping $6.6 million last month—but we did enjoy our time together on tonight’s carriage ride.

We had a blast on our first excursion—a donut and beignet tour—and got to hang out with two very nice families. One of the moms and I split our last beignets (not pictured: a churro and s’more one) so we could try different ones, too. During the tour, our guides showed us two Free Little Libraries!

Our first major event in NOLA is a beignet and donut tour tomorrow morning. Seems like a fitting way to start our honeymoon.

Yesterday, a kid tried to forge a pass to be in the library. Not only did he do this in front of an advocate (our behavior coaches at GBHS), he misspelled library as “Liberia”. Probably should have let him stay so he could work on his spelling.

Student, across a busy library during Gopher Block: MISS KIEFER! Me: Yes?! Student: [holds up a snow man from our first ever Fibers Friday] Me: Aww, it’s so cute— Student, still yelling across the library: IT HAS A BUTT CRACK.

I might be in the minority here, but I’m kind of bummed that Stephen King’s anthology won for GoodReads. Not because it’s not great, but because he really doesn’t need that exposure that a debut or other author could use.

Generally, I don’t send our Dashers anything aside from a tip or thanks, but I couldn’t resist today.
