My reading vacation goal is to finish all the books I'm currently reading (I did finish one today already). Then, I want to read as many of the unread books I have currently sitting on my shelf. Starting with the random stacks (There's currently 6 lol) We'll see how this goes!

It's Emberclaw's release day in the US! Signal boosting always appreciated. Weird, queer dragons. Magic trials, arcane university, yearning, a wyvern race, fate and hope. Grab it from your favorite place books are sold. ✨️

UN-normalize the phrase “fiscally conservative, socially liberal” because politics in a capitalistic society are historically led by money & greed so let’s STOP PRETENDING THAT PHRASE MEANS SOMETHING🗣️
