Today's gym read is another dark romcom, did I mention I love this trend? Sorena Graves' House of Sinners, The Joker. Fabulously bananapants, 100% entertaining.

Today in #crossrope: 1225 jumps on 1/2lb rope in 10:06, and when I started I was 307 on the leaderboard which is cool, I'm usually lower in the 300s. That was awfully close to breaking into the 200s.

Currently hanging out with Pyewacket whose stomach rebelled and I'm waiting to see if it's over before I give him access to the rest of the house. He's snuggled on my leg pretending it never happened.

Gym reading, I cracked open Lord of the Underworld, Arianna Fraser is back with more Bratva Lords and I believe this book is full of more personal violence than explosions because it's Vadim but I still expect more action than Mission Impossible.

We got through the first week of school, rah! Z is already counting the days until she can ditch high school for Running Start and go off to college but she's got some fun things ahead this year like Game Design.

The first time I ever saw Dolly, she entered the stage on a swing singing. That sums up the energy she brought to the world. RIP.

1,000 skips done. Gym read: Jessica Gadziala's Something Like Shelter, a nice low stress read (no crime/suspense plot). Heroine is the daughter of Paine and Elsie from Savior and we see a lot of Gracie from Perish (Henchmen 2nd Gen), so basically welcome back to Navesink Bank, the gang's all here.

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Today's gym read: Hate Me Take Me by Laura Bishop, 2nd in Obsessively Yours series in which we get answers to questions from book 1 such as "how did fashion Barbie Amanda learn to shoot like that", "why does she have a pink Glock" and also "what DID happen to her husband". #ReunionRomance #MaskedMan

Norwegian 4x4 and 1150 skips on 1/4lb rope down in 10.5 minutes, rah. Threw in a mix beyond the basic bounce today and worked mostly in sets of 200 instead of 100 which is a big progression for me. #4x4 #JumpRope

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Alrighty Norwegian 4x4 followed by 1,000 skips on the .3 lb rope WITH INTENSITY and now all the electrolytes are going down my throat. Workout powered by coconut oil coffee, protein coffee and Pumpkin Spice, Knotty Nights as the gym read with move-it music by Baby Monster. #Jump #Read

Today's gym read: Steel Berserkers MC book 2, Bits and Pieces, Bijou Hunter and Noelle Zane. Sure the hero is crazy and a killer but that doesn't make him bad relationship material! 100% fits my criteria for entertaining gym read, and book 1 in the series, Pieces, is currently free in ebook.

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Yesterday was Read New Murderbot day and while the story was terrific what I really took away was the ending, that perfect moment that shows who the characters are and who they are to each other. If you haven't grabbed @marthawells.com Platform Decay yet, go read!

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Refilled keurig water, put in a pod, hit brew....forgot the mug. Woe to the fallen caffeine molecules, never to fulfill their destiny. But the counter's really clean now.

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Catching up on Jane Henry, Wicked Sanctuary, and who doesn't want to be kidnapped by a hot guy who supplies you with carbs and books? I'm giggling over the whole "No, I should be trying to escape but wait I haven't read that yet..."

000

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

I have done all the things (including weightlifting and plyometrics) so now, book! BB Hamel, Vicious Control. He shows up at midnight with a wedding dress and an ultimatum, get wed or get dead. She's an artist, he's a psycho, clearly this is a good match.

000

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

OMG and then they hid my post saying "FB is hiding my posts about going to the gym and what I do there" LOL. Is Zuck afraid I can out-benchpress him? Do women who maintain bone and muscle mass pose a threat to the world's whey protein supply?

000

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Anyway it is apparently super suss to say that today I squatted/benched/rowed, did plyometrics and during rests/on the treadmill read Emily Rose's Lost DeLuca Sisters, Little Deer in which I continue to be amazed that we haven't run out of missing girls and hot Italian men who find them.

000

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Just a weightlifting and reading girl wondering why FB has 2x this week hidden my posts about going to the gym and what I do there, this is like the most harmless innocent content you can imagine aside from telling you about my gardening.

000

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Right, Annika Martin's Ms Renfield and the Deadly Puzzle, wherein our heroine must find an appropriate victim for her boss to unalive, I'm going in. #mystery #sff

Nothing like working under blooming wisteria full of bumblebees who get so happy they fall out (and then bumble on with the I meant to do that attitude of a cat) #gardening

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Also pick up heavy things and put them back down, then you can pick up heavier things.

Glad I got a bunch of yardwork done yesterday because today is rain mixed with snow WTF! Well it wouldn't be the first time we had snowflakes on the wisteria blossoms and it definitely will melt as soon as it hits but glad I left the lemon and lime trees in the greenhouse. #gardening #zone7

Post-dinner treadmill walk read: Sadie Hunt's Nothing Bad Happens Here (MC finds a dead body immediately of course)

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

In case you all wondered, I did not read the spider book in the gym, squats and deadlifts are hard enough without bringing arachnophobia into it.

Charlene Teglia @charleneteglia.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

I'm reading this list of trigger warnings and am like yeah okay sure fine, wait, SPIDERS?!!
