A hand holding a library-bound copy of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
I just picked up this library hold I ordered for my partner and the girl at the drive-thru window gushed about it. She's only 5 chapters in and love, and I told her it was my favorite ARC and book of 2025, hands-down

The body horror in that one had me slapping imaginary bugs off myself
"There's no literacy crisis, that's made up"
Okay, well I just saw a grown-ass adult describe acting casual as "non shallot", so
A pan with a sizzling, cheesy pizza in it
A cake with swirls of caramel-drenched apples spiraled on the top
Birthday dinner for my love tonight ♥️. Foccacia pizza and spiced caramel apple upside-down cake
A still from the kdrama Moon River
Oh I pictured these two the whole time
Yay! I loved that one too! (And had it cast in my head, lol)

I found a back door and escaped
Am currently in prison and by prison I mean an HOA meeting
Yup. Not only did my ARC requests come in, but so did all of my library holds 😅
Costco has tonkotsu broth that is EXCELLENT. Grab that with a rotisserie chicken and you're most of the way there!
A loaded bowl of ramen with creamy tonkotsu broth topped with slices of roasted meat, a sliced boiled egg, and green onions
It's cool and rainy and my partner is feeling under the weather, so tonkotsu ramen for dinner
Have you read it yet?? I couldn't put it down
Isn't it? It was such a good book, too

I ran into and made eye contact with Lauren Boebert today. This was pretty much the exact face I made with zero exaggeration.
She is even more ratchet in person
Biiiiiiiiig stretch
A view from inside a covered seating area looking out onto a serene stone path lined with trees
A bee that has dived head-first into some pink and white flowers. It has powdery yellow pollen on its legs
A brightly striped jumping spider nestled on colorful leaves
Had a lovely picnic lunch in the tea garden while listening to frogs chirp, and got to see lots of bugs and flowers
Drink, outfit, book - weekend edition:
Ready to have a picnic at the botanic gardens and get some reading in. (We're going to listen to a book together while we walk around, too)
I really liked Automatic Noodle!

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I know the updates have been sparse. It's Springtime, a.k.a. Migraine Season, so bear with me. When I can, I'm reading these ♥️

A hand holds a small, plastic bag filled with chopped fruit and herbs
A tea cup with a strainer holds cut fruit, flowers and herbs all blooming in the hot water.
Do I have all these ingredients goji berries, apples, red dates, etc) that I could chop up myself? Yes.
Do I love these pre-measured tea bags as an indulgence anyway?
Unapologetically yes.
They are so much deeper and more emotional than I ever expected. If you haven't heard the audio, oh my god please do.
Specific to Dungeon Crawler Carl, it definitely needs to be the audiobook version to be fully enjoyed
