Starting a reread of Joanna Bourne's Spymaster series and flailing over how exquisitely written it all is. Of course there's Adrian Hawker, an all-time romance hero. But right now, it's how she writes Annique in Spymaster's Lady. Close third-person narrative in her voice. So French. You *hear* her.

I’m on a plane and they had the first 5 episodes. I got very invested by ep 4, right around the time the body shaming/food weirdness moved to the background, and instead focused more on Yuri’s emotional growth.

Just watched the first two episodes of Yuri on Ice. Is the casual fatphobia a thing through the whole series or am I through the worst? Because that was rough!

the fact that I can't just get on amazon or bookshop and order all 30 something Psy-Changeling books in hardcover with sprayed edges that look like the psynet or something is how I know folks don't like money imagine getting to the book where the edges get honeycombed 😭

Was out to dinner with family today and a very important Puerto Rican identity question came up… ¿Coco o Piña? What is your pick? I’m a coco girl always!

Explored old town Bucharest and visited its largest bookstore!

Finally caught up. I’ve been neglecting by tracking. I continue to read dozens of fics but I’ve actually finally started reading actual books with my eyes. Currently reading: Shannon Reed’s Why We Read ( in print!!) Dungeon Crawler Carl in ebook although my sister wants me to switch to the audio!

I’m so woefully behind updating this thread and it’s mostly because I’m mostly reading fan fic with my eyes …and forgetting about anything else. But I’m still rereading the Kate Daniels books. I listened to all the dramatized ones up to the end.

I giddy to pay up for my second chance offer after losing all my @romancingthevote.com auctions earlier! Looking foward to getting a whole set of @mollyharperauth.bsky.social Mystic Bayou books after all!

34. Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh (WW/AM, PNR, psy/human) Sophia and Max are one of my favorite couples. The stakes are so high as is the tension. Cws: abduction, murder, PT: abuse, grief, murders, abandonment.

Hear ye! Hear ye!! A girl is pleased to announce that HULU has picked up the option for our beloved Blessings series. Our writer, the very talented Sonay Hoffman will now begin creating the pilot's script. More details to come.

It is really so wild how much better I feel when we are getting regular sunshine. I think I’m doing okay, but I’m only just getting by until the spring sun hits again!

First movie at the theater of the year: The Mandalorian and Grogu … if you loved the show you will enjoy the movie. Love that little guy and Pascal is good too.

since I accidentally helped kick off this horrifying realization for so many, please let me pass along a link where you can yell about it.

good morning, I am dying, this has killed me

Got my official heated rivalry merch! Since I live in Rochester I opted for our own’s Scott Hunter’s team shirt:

Finally visited my local romance bookstore @burnbrightbookshop.bsky.social , as I was showing off all the cool Rochester corners to my old Rombkpod partner Sarah. Came home with cool stickers and two @miasosaromance.bsky.social books I beta read but I didn’t have in print!

If your favorite couple is Arwen and Aragorn then lemme introduce you to age-gap romance.

LOTS going on with the NY Freedom to Read Act. Something needed right now from *librarians and educators who work in NYS only*. Can you fill out this survey for @nyclu.org and share it with other NYS librarians/educators? Sent it to each other please! x5h4gde8rss.typeform.com/to/cRdPf2Gp
