The Sept 2026 #TBRChallenge is "Lush Life." I went to a favorite vintage author for this, which unfortunately made the TSTL heroine and the obstinate hero extra frustrating to read about 😑 #romancelandia #booksky vintageromancereader.dreamwidth.org/25987.html www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Is there anything more irritating than a great author writing stupid, stubborn, obstinate characters who stay stupid, stubborn, and obstinate until the literal last page? I just...UGH! I know this author can do better than this! 😫 (Why yes, I do abhor the Big Mis trope, however did you guess?)
Going vintage. Buying more books than I will ever be able to read, especially with my library addiction.

Wow, a 14 oz box contains more Vitamin C than a 4 oz glass! Who'da thunkit?? 😱 (It was also 71% sugar, apparently.)
Discontinued FoOoOods! 👻🎃@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social · 7mo agoSuper Orange Crisp (1973-1977): Classic Sugar/Golden Crisp sweetened puffed wheat, along with orange-flavored "o"-shaped cereal pieces. Each box boasted that "One ounce of Super Orange Crisp contains more Vitamin C than a glass (4 oz.) of orange juice!"
In the words of my Moy bro chickenpattysan - talk about balls you need a wagon to haul! 😂
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · last mo.5. I did not look at the paper presented to me but others who looks at theirs told me that what they had seen there had all the hallmarks of being "AI" generated, so that's somehow even more obnoxious; this person bothering panelists couldn't even be bothered to come up with their own bad ideas.
He looks like he has Seen Some Things, LOL

A singular performer with inimitable talent and charm, Dolly Parton's work touched countless lives throughout her career. From her performances across mediums to her philanthropy, Parton was the epitome of the best of the American spirit. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.
PLANET EARTH, YOUR GREATEST HUMAN HAS DIED. YOU HAVE A SHORT WINDOW TO CANONIZE HER AS A SAINT FOR ALL TIME. DO NOT FUCK IT UP.
if infrastructure is what connects people, holds them together, serves, supports, and endures, then Dolly Parton was infrastructure.
Damn! I came here to post about some excellent additions to the D&C jukebox, only to be confronted with this. She was - and always will be - a national treasure.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · last mo.Enjoyed this touching NYT tribute to Dolly Parton. What a great talent, generous heart, and heroic life. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/a...
One of my better treasure hunts this year 🩷 Really looking forward to digging into the Second Chance at Love line! #romancelandia
The August 2026 #TBRChallenge is "Backlist Banger" - and boy do I have a lot of backlists on Mount TBR! I chose an absolute gem by Candice Hern - this tugged at my heartstrings in all the right ways ❤️ #romancelandia #booksky vintageromancereader.dreamwidth.org/25604.html
This expression reminds me of @sameoldcircuit.bsky.social's cat LOL

Maybe if they weren't slow as fuck to review things. (I have interacted with a lot of IRBs. North Star is way down on the list of good experiences.)

I first learned about this from reading Ms. Bev's books. This is why I love actual history in my historical romance #romancelandia

Immigrant Punk@porcupunk.eurosky.social · 2mo agoEnough of the horrors and doom scrolling. Let's talk about something fun. How do you arrange your books?
The second of my double dip for #JenkinsJuly was Blessings #7. I really enjoyed this, and the callout to my first choice for the month, Something Like Love! The ending felt a little rushed, unfortunately, but it's always fun to visit Henry Adams ❤️ #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
