Booking my annual checkup immediately following a July of haggis, tatties, and whiskey may have been an error on my part.

My 77yo mom was pulled aside by TSA for having a giant carrot in her purse. This is possibly the most on brand event related to her ever.

I was hacked this morning, trying to get my account back to normal! Apologies for any interactions I had while I was not myself! 😱

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

Henri when I tell him he gets to go play with his friends today 😂❤️ #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Me *sexting*: I read that book you recommended.

Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall gets all the stars from me, just the most beautiful historical fiction that will make you cry, plus the wildest twists. #BookSky 💙📚

I always joke about playing the type of records that any 1800s ghosts in our house might enjoy, but last night Maria Callas started playing when nobody was near the music space, so I probably need to be a little more diligent about keeping them happy. 😳

My first 5⭐️ horror read of the year! Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng is the dark, gruesome, and powerful story of a woman who cleans crime scenes at the beginning of the pandemic. Thank you to Mira Books for the ARC; this one comes out April 29th. # BookSky 💙📚

upon further reflection evolution was a mistake. today i shall be focusing on growing back my gills and returning to the sea

I am loving this horror novel with Vietnamese mythology and monsters that may swim beneath us or live within us. It’s written beautifully; I’ve been highlighting like a maniac while devouring it. Thank you to @bloomsburybooks.bsky.social for They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran! 💙📚 #Booksky

me & the girls are gonna go rage against the dying of the light later. if u wanna come

Henri and his best friend Nigel, enjoying the sun together. ❤️ #dogs

I’m loving today’s flight read so far: it’s a raw and gritty coming-of-age story of three young girls in nineties Yorkshire, England. Thank you so much to @henryholtbooks.bsky.social for the ARC of We Pretty Pieces of Flesh by Colwill Brown! 💙📚 #Booksky

I will officially be hibernating with this on release date. The Murderbot sci fi series is my happy place.

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

I blinked and the cute hockey player who was asking how I did on the calculus test is now in my kitchen wearing a full-on Grandpa cardigan talking about our electric bill. Where did forty years go?

This feels so relevant right now.

ok but like, how are we getting any work done. i'm trying to tippy tap away at my silly little keyboard but every fifteen minutes or so the new stupidest thing anyone's ever done happens.

What if an heiress you didn’t know was murdered, and shockingly left her generational wealth to you? What if you had no alibi for the night she died? Thank you to @readlandmark.bsky.social for this juicy locked room mystery with so many twists! 💙📚 #Booksky

This one scared me, and even more unsettling was knowing that the author wrote this sci fi horror set at the South Pole WHILE he was at the South Pole. 😱 Thank you to @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social for this copy of Symbiote by Michael Nayak! 💙📚 #Booksky

Ahh, ARC approval for one of my most anticipated reads just came through! Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs is the story of how his relationships shaped his work. Thank you, @fsgbooks.bsky.social ! ❤️ 📚💙 #Booksky

All Better Now by Neal Shusterman would make for great book club discussion: a virus leaves those that survive it completely happy, no longer wanting to consume or caring how others view them. Thank you to Simon and Schuster for the ARC! 💙📚 #Booksky

Realm of Ice and Sky by Buddy Levy is sending me down so many rabbit holes, learning about the adventurous men who risked their lives or died while trying to reach the North Pole via airship. Thanks to @stmartinspress.bsky.social for the ARC! 💙📚 #booksky

I was blown away by this historical fiction based on the real-life 1500s French noblewoman who survived years alone after being abandoned on an uninhabited island. Thank you to @thedialpress.bsky.social for the ARC of Isola by Allegra Goodman! 💙📚 #Booksky

What if you suddenly had to fight for your life while simultaneously discovering its meaning and purpose? I loved the sci fi horror The Way Up is Death by Dan Hanks! Thank you to @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social for the gifted copy! 💙📚 #BookSky

Back home in cold Minnesota, catching up on messages and ARCs. My Netgalley percentage is 😭 but I am now fortified by large quantities of Spanish cheese and ready to devour all the good books. 📚 💙📚 #Booksky

Today I visited Stonehenge; it was chilly but pure sunlight, with scattered ravens keeping an eye on things. #travel
