March Reads: I read 11 books in March and the theme I feel this month is “Mid”. All the books I read I liked but didn’t love (with the exception of My Friends). All of them are worth reading but none I would tell people to bump up their TBR #booksky
Trees, James, & Erasure. I loved all of them
I looked up the different versions and for my sensibilities I am happy I got the ending I did. As it gave a satisfying conclusion.
If you read this just know there are 3 different versions of the book each with a different ending. The way you can tell which version you’re reading is by looking at the direction the compass is pointing on the upper right side. Mind is pointing NorthWest
Percival Everett is in my all time Top 5 Authors. I’ve read 4 of his books and each one affected me differently. They all made me feel something. Like SA Cosby does where he’s telling you one story but slipping in something much deeper to give you such emotional weight with lyrical writing. #booksky
Starting Book 2 of A Song of Ice and Fire #booksky
Still riding that Ghost of Yotei high and doing a first time watch of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samuari
Ghost of Yotei is incredible
I love getting to spend my Birthday with my Best Friend. She’s spoiling me with a delicious dinner and a Magic Show to see Shin Lim!
Thank you! Crazy how I was a non reader just a few years ago and now I read 100+ books a year and I’m close to officially being able to say I own a home library (1,000 books)

You can’t tell me that the vibes aren’t immaculate right now
Starting my 125 book of 2025 #booksky
I was at Walmart in the baking section and I met this sweet old lady who told me she’s a retired baker and she was sharing tips & tricks with me. We ended up exchanging emails and she sent me some recipes. The moral of the story is to talk to the elderly. When an old person dies, a library is lost.
Happy 75th Heavenly Birthday to my Mommy. She has been gone for 30 years and every day I carry that hole in my heart thinking about you. I’m going to spend the day listening to your favorite, Rod Stewart. I love and miss you ♥️
My stepson favorite game is Dark Souls, my stepdaughter favorite movie is Midsommar. I got this tattoo for them ♥️
I just finished reading my 117th book of 2025 and I also surpassed my reading goal of 50,000 pages 📖📚 #booksky

I’m so incredibly Thankful to my family. I have really been rewarded in life to have such an amazing beautiful kind & loving partner who fills my cup every day. And my incredible kids who have welcomed me with open arms into their life. I am the luckiest man in world. The Fekel-Nguyen’s ♥️
This Puerco Pibil is the best it's ever been anywhere. In fact, it's too good. It's so good that when I'm finished, I'll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook.
If you want to know how my mental health is doing, I am currently sobbing watching The Thunderbolts* #NewAvengers
Believe it or not I am reading Harry Potter for the first time #booksky
My fiancé got this awesome #Wicked theme manicure 💅
If you like The Dark Knight, you will also like Wicked: For Good! No I will not be elaborating #Wicked
Yesterday I finally reached out to seek therapy. Earlier this week I had a panic attack, I also have been suffering from weird back pain and I am convinced it’s because my body has been holding on to stress. It’s ok to not be ok ♥️
I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.
Agreed
