it appears that I have bought myself three different advent calendars

fob pdx tickets GOT :D

I spent a minute wondering if I should crosspost the announcement from my newsletter, but DUH. Of COURSE it should be on my website, that's what author websites are FOR. Anyway! Hey! My books are back! And back in the day, they got some really good reviews! www.beckyallenbooks.com/2026/11/10/m...

My Books Are (Back) On Sale Today

Just a quick note today to say that, as promised at the beginning of the month, my books are now back! Look how pretty!! If you’ve been lurking around this newsletter but haven’t ever read them, no…

got so little sleep last night that my watch/sleep app rated me 12/100 so things are. well they're going

new fob? 👀

skirting dangerously close to running out of vitamin D because I am once again putting off going to costco

I ordered and re-ordered my books with different schemas. The one that stuck was fiction alpha by author, nonfiction grouped by subject with a gradient leading from one to the next. I wanted to make sure anyone looking at my bookshelves could find things. anyway I’m a librarian now lmao

please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

it's wipwednesday and I was going to work on a wip but instead I have: - vacuumed - changed the cat's litter - haunted bsky - organized the cat's food - tidied - gone on a walk - set up a phone screening for next week - put away laundry like I'm glad for all of that but also. the document.

I am full of coffee and restless energy

I don’t have enough snacks for this

I'm backing very slowly into trying to use Dreamwidth a bit, very cautiously so as not to scare this inclination away. Anyway I'm here if you're on DW too — let's be friends? thirtysixsavefiles.dreamwidth.org

once again the urge to buy a dedicated ereader (kobo?) is at war with the desire to get more utility out of the devices I already have (ipad and ipad mini)

I've just sent my newsletter about this, so here is the cross post. My books are coming back! www.beckyallenbooks.com/2026/11/01/m... (I will do a proper thread that I can pin and such later, but hey: buy links! And they're cheap!)

My Books Are Coming Back!

update: mulled wine extremely good

found this super cute bottle of cabernet and it’s surprisingly drinkable! I’m still putting it in the pot to mull tho

thinking about where to cross-post my fic and at the moment I'm thinking Dreamwidth but also...the effort...200+ works.....

do YOU need something to read while we wait for our beloved Ao3 to return? would you like it to be queer and fun and hand-crafted by someone who spent decades writing fanfic instead of [checks notes] going to parties or learning marketable skills? boy, have i written some novels for you!

still don’t know what to do on halloween night? well, i have an idea: color some poorly drawn cats! spookitties is my new halloween themed coloring ebook, filled with spooky (and silly) little cats! poorlycatdraw.gumroad.com/l/spookitties 🎃

"why am I so tired and brain-dead today" <— person who has completely forgotten abut staying up until 1:30 am, getting up at 6:30 am, and driving three hours round-trip

nothing like moving your laptop to better lighting to reveal how desperately it needs to be cleaned 😬

my mom approaches decorating for Halloween across the entirety of a spectrum that I’m calling Spooky <—> Casper. skeletons climbing the front of the house? spooky. giant inflatable pumpkin in the yard? casper. some real mixed messages here
