Personality derived almost wholly from books. I'm opposed to facism; not sure what to call that?

I usually have 3 books going, and now is no exception. Here's what I'm reading when I can force myself not to doomscroll. #馃挋馃摎 #馃摎馃挋 The Cebo Campbell I can't stop reading, the Vera Wong is perfect for chores, and Erdrich is for when I want to fall in love with language. 鉂わ笍 the way she says everything.

The world's a mess, but these are some of my favorite books from 2025. I also read Hunchback, a lot of Craig Johnson, the new Isabel Ca帽as, Ghost Bride, and so many more, and I loved them all. #馃挋馃摎 #馃摎馃挋 Unwind me into the stars. Please.

I feel like I should explain that Carl beats Sower in that one bracket because Parable of the Sower was a reread and so it already placed in a previous year. I do love Carl, but not as much as I love Octavia Butler's Lauren Olamina.

I finished Ancillary Justice and it's going to be a contender for my favorite book of the year. "They'll ignore anything that doesn't get them what they want. And what they want is anything that can grab." So many prescient quotes. #AncillaryJustice #AnnLeckie #馃摎馃挋 I sobbed a few times.

I don't go on FB, but have to have an account bc I live in a small town that only does business on FB. I made the mistake of opening it today. It's just the absolute worst. I'm shellshocked by the casual hatred and fake outrage.

This has been my favorite chart on StoryGraph the last couple of years. I love that I'm reading a lot of 'dark' books. Really matchy-matchy with the world atm. #馃摎馃挋 #21BooksSoFar

Just finished The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones. Jade is the very best person to watch grow up. She's also a good reminder of our obligations to those who've fought to make this land a community for all of us. #BookSky #馃摎馃挋

It's a little rustic (my first ever book bracket) but here's my top 12 (of 122) of 2024. #BookSky #馃挋馃摎 The year of violence, it seems. So many other great books that aren't reflected here. They're ALL my favorites.

When I was barely halfway through Don't Fear the Reaper, I knew it was going to a favorite of the year. "It's Jade, actually." 馃挋馃摎 #BookSky 5 stars... no, 6 stars!

It's been 3 weeks, 6 days, and some hours since I finished My Heart Is a Chainsaw. I've been in agony waiting for book 2. Jade, I'm finally back! #BookSky
