I wish people would quit acting like the trafficking is even the worst part. It’s not, which is the worst part. The worst part is that the sex crimes are not the worst part, but the international conspiracies to undermine democracy are the worst part. 🤯

I’ve lived a whole life since then! The next summer after Shangri-La was my first GOTJ. 💎 🪓

We went to DC & NYC, too, in 1993 from Birmingham, AL. It’s a key memory, which is why I took my kids in 2023 to DC- I was so afraid it would turn out like it has. 😢

I’m going to see Bad Omens in Nashville with my family on March 17!! I am so EMOTIONAL about this. 😭 🎉 🎶 #badomens #doyoufeellove

We bought a secondhand electric guitar/amp for our youngest son yesterday and buying Beartooth/Bad Omens concert tickets for our oldest son today. There, Christmas is done: the rest of 2025 is boycott season. 🎁

I’m resting my brain for the rest of today and then I’ll probably start some classic Stephen King. Either the Shining or Salem’s Lot? I have some NK Jemison books, Stephen Graham Jones, and Stormlight Archive also on my physical TBR.

OK, chat: now that’s done. What am I supposed to do with myself now?! I’m not prepared for life after. #throneofglass #kingdomofash #booksky ❤️‍🔥🥺

I truly don’t think that some people even realize how blue parts of Alabama really are. 🩵 #nokings #birminghamalabama

Had to protest vicariously today, since I was running a fever of 100.9 last night. 🤒 😩 Third time in 6 weeks. 🤧 #nokings

I’ve been there! They are just a tool and it’s going to be OK. 🩵

It was my first, too! I’ve read some more since then. I can’t believe I made it all the way through the 90s never reading any King!

Small tot REALLY has it out (quite viciously) for this rabbit- actually, a dog toy that my pointer-mix girl dog treats gently, like a baby. 🐇

Of these, I’ve read Fairy Tale and thought it was fantastic!

I have to do this soon! I sort by genre and paperback vs. hardback generally, then by vibes. 🙃

Just did the math: I’m at 72% through the EoS/ToD tandem read. This time next week, I will be starting the final book in the Throne of Glass series. After that, I don’t know what I will do with myself! The plan was to start the Stormlight Archive, but I may need an easy snack or two first. #booksky

I started this account to skeet about books I’m reading and sometimes music I’m listening to and a little bit of lifestyle documentary on the side, but I’ve been absolutely shit at keeping up with any of it in recent months. Not saying I’ll be better in the months ahead: just an observation. 🧐 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sure, it’s completely normal thinking more about what to add to the tattoo I just got, rather than something completely new: eventually turning it into a bigger piece. My goal was only to get something small before deciding to do a bigger tattoo on my arm, now all I can think about is my leg!

There is nothing that is administration fears more than an army of well-read women. 📚 ⚔️

One more… today, he’s helping me keep my leg elevated. He took a while to warm up, but a total snuggle bug now. 💕

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Once he let me pick him up, I brought him inside the house for a few minutes at a time to explore, but took him back outside. I didn’t keep him inside overnight right away. We also had to navigate training our dogs not to treat him like prey. That was a challenge, but we are all friends now!

110

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

When he started approaching for treats, I stayed as still as I possibly could while he took them to prove to him that I was safe. I waited for a couple of days while he got comfortable with being close to me before I try to touch him, and then waited another day or so before trying to pick him up.

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

I was so afraid of predators as well! We have a lot of coyotes around. We went out several times a day with cat treats and wet food. I left food and water for him. I started by sitting and watching him about 15 or 20 feet away and then gradually moved closer. 🧵

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Man, the cat distribution system is HARD at work lately! 🤣 Good luck!! It took almost two weeks to get our new little guy to let us come near him, but he was worth the effort. 🥰

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

lol, I know that’s right! You don’t want it to be lonely. I have a list of ideas, the mushrooms was only one thing on the list. 😊

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Isn’t it! The hardest part was deciding which to get because the entire flash sheet was perfect in every way. I even weighed the idea of getting two. 🙃

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

I might have done a thing. Blame the eclipse/equinox energy, or blame my birthday coming up soon, whatever. I love her and it was a fun way to spend the afternoon. 🫶🏻

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

So- rip the bandaid! One of the local artists I’ve been stalking posted a tattoo flash party, and I signed up. Getting one done this afternoon! 🫶🏻

Neck Deep & The Story So Far! ✨ 🎶 we had the best time, but I’m too old for getting home at midnight. 😴 #concertpics

Taking my kids to a show tonight! We’re going to see Pain of Truth, Origami Angel, Neck Deep, and The Story So Far. So pumped! 🎸 🎶

I found like 15 that I really like- the problem is that I really like everything! And I’m willing to travel within a few hours radius, so I found some that are even in other states. 🙃

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

I’ve got a list of ideas- I just don’t know what to do first, should I do it in color or black and gray? What style should it be? What style or color scheme will help determine who I should book to do it. I’m in a loop looking at various artists online and trying to decide which one. It’s too much!

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

I have been wanting a tattoo to mark my 45th birthday for most of this year- and now my birthday is close enough to reach out and touch, yet I’m paralyzed by decision anxiety. 🤪 Send help!!

The once weekly turning of my kitchen into a veritable jungle. I’m in the houseplants era of midlife crisis. 🪴

A kitchen sink filled with and surrounded by various houseplants and water from the faucet is filling a watering can.

In my head, I’m even going to the place where it it’s not safe to really be myself on BS, because they know that it’s our safe haven and it would not be too hard to infiltrate and dox- this is why I’ve never posted my photo and try to avoid too many identifying details.

010

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

I wish I was online less so that I didn’t hear things I could live in blissful ignorance. 🤣 yes, she’s been called out for some problematic things- shouldn’t be too hard to find details on a search engine. 😢 I miss the days when we didn’t know how terrible people were.

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

Thank you. 💓 This is the worst, because my default setting is to be an open book with everyone I meet. I just don’t feel safe.

Vulnerable moment: my mental health has not been excellent, and current events are not helping. I feel so disconnected from people and it feels unnatural, but I have deep distrust because of *shakes hands around manically* …all the things. I very much want to be seen, but also to stay hidden. 🐢

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

I know that we’re supposed to hate SJM but I swear this is the only series that has kept me reading this summer. It’s the only one I’m invested in. Everything else I’ve read feels so third rate. 😩 big time slump here!!

Unfortunately, I recently passed the test no one wants to pass (Covid 😩🦠), but the good news is that the unexpected forced downtime allowed me to clear out every obstacle in order to make way for the long awaited Tower of Dawn/Empire of Storms tandem read. Going in! 👏🏻 #throneofglass #booksky

Two books: Tower of Dawn and Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas are sitting on the seat of a green velvet chair.

Yeah, I haven’t posted in a while. It’s been a bit of a ride lately.🎢 But I thought I’d share the latest feral kitten rescue update. Tomorrow marks one month since Merlin showed up on our doorstep, and it’s fair to say he’s made himself right at home. 🐾
