iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This weekend, I discovered one of the obscure, local TV stations airs Xena: Warrior Princess every day. My closeted, teenage self is very excited. But my openly queer self is also very excited!

I was given the opportunity to read this book as an ARC reader. This marks ARC read #7 for me for the year and I have yet to be disappointed in any of them. This is the 2nd book of the series but my first by this author. I may go back and read the first book soon. It can be read as a standalone.

Finished Mob's Seduction by @alysonrootauthor.bsky.social and it's another winner! Something I don't recall in the hundreds and hundreds of books I've read in my lifetime? An author, essentially, poking fun at their own work 😆 The references to her other books within this book made me chuckle

Jumped into another book series this week. Technically, jumped back in. I read Not Just Gal Pals by @elizabethluly.bsky.social almost a year ago. I knew of the second book in the Sapphire Springs series, Novel Problems, but I was in a "read for the season" kind of era.

I'm being a passenger princess on a 12 hour drive today. While waiting for laundry to finish so I could pack last night, I started reading Nobody in Particular by Sophie Gonzalez and made it exactly halfway through before going to bed last night. I finished it in about 4 hours.

I devoured To the Grave by Kylie Cross over the past 2 days. It's the 3rd book in the Killer Queens trilogy. I didn't reread the first 2 books simply because I have been shivering with anticipation over this book for nearly 4 months. Also the other 2 books are almost 1000 pages total.

I read a book called Risking Immortality by @alysonrootauthor.bsky.social at the beginning of this year and it was the first 5 ⭐ title of the year for me. Loved it! Bought the 2nd book, Waiting for Eternity, immediately only to see that a 3rd, Fighting for Infinity, was coming out soon thereafter.

Damn you, Stuff Your Kindle Day! I added so many more books to my TBR! It's never going to get under 180 at this point 😬😆

Anna (she/they) @ampmet83.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

My TBR is perpetually at 180 titles regardless of how much I read 🤷‍♀️

When Iris Kelly Doesn't Date by Ashley Herring Blake was released, I bought it the day I saw it. I read binged at least half of it that night. And then stayed up too late the next night to finish it. I was dragging ass at work the following morning, but it was worth it.

I'm currently reading this book. I loved Felix Ever After and waited to start this until after book 2 was available. I knew going in I would be reading about queer characters, likely POC. I wasn't expecting the gender fluidity.

Anna (she/they) @ampmet83.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

I read Because Fat Girl by Lauren Marie Fleming over the past few days. It wasn't what I was expecting when I bought it. I try to read books that have atypical main characters. In this case, Diana Smith is a fat queer women trying to make it in Hollywood. Her own description of herself.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Downloaded Skylight social... Since TikTok is very unreliable at the moment. Not really one to actually post videos but who knows... Maybe I'll come out of my shell a little 🤷‍♀️

Rewatching the original Hunger Games movies after I started reading Sunrise on the Reaping. It really expands on the original story quite a bit. Probably going to have to reread the original trilogy after I finish this book and get a new perspective.

I read the first 2 books in this series based on a random recommendation from an online group and I was not disappointed. I waited patiently for this final book in this trilogy and I could not have been more satisfied. The books are actually standalones so don't need to be read in any particular way

Very good first release from author Elee Rose. The chemistry between Fallon and Mackenzie was obvious from the start and it jumps off the pages! I loved seeing the connection between them grow as the story went on. Very exciting and steamy! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Made the decision to have my dog put down. That was last week. I got his ashes back the other day. It felt different without him here, but that changed after getting him back. He's still gone and will always be missed, but it doesn't feel quite so lonely now.

Just spent 3 hours at a veterinary ER with my dog. He's 16 and had several seizures over a nearly 2 hour period. Opted to go home with seizure meds and monitor. This was a rough afternoon/evening.

"It sometimes feels like a curse to be attracted to men, seeing as I don't generally like them. Now, women? I love women. They are creatures I genuinely want to talk to and also kindly ask to sit on my face." -Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings This pretty much sums up my bisexuality.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

@kristenzimmer.bsky.social please tell me the ending to Forbidden Girl is different from the story it's based on! I don't need spoilers but tell me it doesn't end the same way

I did an ARC read on this and I loved it! Lots of angst so stear clear if you don't like angst. And for those that read Taming of a Rebel, there's more Rebel in this book! #booksky

I work in an often overlooked and very misunderstood part of healthcare. I work in a pharmacy. Trust me when I say it's more than counting pills and slapping a label on a bottle. We may look like we're standing around doing nothing, but we're all always doing something.

Whatever happens, never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So always make time to share books with kids, and help them find books to love. Make reading central to everything you do. It will change their lives forever! #literacy

I have read 9 books since January 1st. My favorites so far have been Defectors by Paola Ramos and the Bloom Town duology by Ally North. Lots of books on my TBR. Mostly sapphic. #sapphic #booksky

Gave up on X or Twitter or whatever people call it back in November. Not a big fan of Facebook or Instagram either but use them simply to keep in touch with some relatives. TikTok gone, but not sure I'll use it if it comes back 🤷‍♀️
