CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The game of “I can never find my tape when I fucking need it the most” Luckily this glue stick from a decade ago still works for crow journaling but. My tape 130

CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Okie but do you ever do the dual combo of dressing up as lesbian camp Keele while getting the zine I supported by the Z Man himself 🥹🥹 @rappigcrossing.com @talesfanzine.bsky.social 2151
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Place your bets on how much this bad boy is gonna go 🫡🫡 040
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 01/09/2026When fellow Americans are weird about Worlds being hosted in 2027 but meanwhile every food is currently trying to kill us like be fr 😭😭😭 120
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Code Over Country. Book about the US Navy Seals and a more realistic look into the corruption and how it's so how hard to weed it out bc of decades' long unspoken brotherhood that's turned into the toxic culture today. 000
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The Poisonwood Bible. Barbara does it again with the one that I think put her on the map. We love white savior fuckups that go totally wrong and the family has to deal with the aftermath- 110
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Eldest. I was less nice on my official review. I’m ngl, it was a tough read for me just bc a lot of nothing happens. I was really excited for the sequel but now I don’t think I want to read the third book 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It's a really good book analyzing step by step of Saddam Hussein's relationship with the United States over the decades. Coll really does well with the limited resources he had access to. I do agree at times that things get a little sidetracked at times 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 15/08/2026So fun fact that I I keep Veigue in my bag for good luck + I often forget I put him there Today I realize I’m Veigue colored- 080
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 02/08/2026The Joy Luck Club. I read it back in high school but I can appreciate it so much more as an adult. 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Happiness Included. Memoir of Brady Bunch actress Eve Plumb (Jan). Nothing groundbreaking, lived a (relatively) normal life. Strong work ethic with boomer parents 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Neptune's Fortune. Book detailing one man's 40+ year life's mission to excavate a 18th century galleon. You get it all, and you really root for Roger Dooley at the end just bc of how dedicated he's been despite the mountains of red tapes he's gone (and is actively still going) through. 200
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Sunrise on the Reaping. Started reading this before shit hit the fan at work last week, but Haymitch really became my comfort character in suffering all over again gslkkglklsklgs 210
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Firestorm. I don’t like reading present day books often bc they often frustrate me bc a lot of the times it’s out of our hands, but this time it was this + the journalist just does not focus on anything too into depth and rides on feelings, which doesn’t really help his narrative 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 18/07/2026The Names. Read for local book club (my pick/tbr). Holy domestic abuse at but it’s still good, very much a modern day a rose called by any other name is just as sweet type shit 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 18/07/2026The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I really didn’t want to read this when it released bc fuck Snow, but it’s good for context. Anyway, fuck Snow LMAO 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Iran's Grand Strategy. Super in depth book documenting, among other things, why Iran's global policy is the way it is and why they have such beef against America (the reasons, while complex, are obviously justified). It's super dry, super academic, but it does give you perspective (unfortunately 200
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 07/07/2026The Orphan of Cemetery Hill. Clairvoyant meets guy once when she's a kid and then it's love at first sight 12 years later + spooky elements. Pretty bare bones for me, but there were slivers of truth within the context, so that was cool 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 05/07/2026To Lose a War. Journalist's collection of articles he wrote regarding the Taliban from post 9/11 to 2021. Nothing super groundbreaking, but a good emphasis of how much America fueled/fucked up Afghanistan's current state 110
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The Chris Farley Show. Biography of Chris Farley mostly made up by interviews by family, friends, and various colleagues. It’s hard to read about a life who loved and hurt so much at the same time. Addiction’s so, so hard to get through, and it hurts so much seeing how much Chris tried and tried 200
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 01/07/2026The Dragon’s Roar. Quick book, never got a sequel yet. A lot of shit happens in less than 150 pages but the characters are there. Yes, there are dragons- 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 01/07/2026The Breath of the Gods. Super comprehensive book about wind and its many concepts. My main takeaway still is that tumbleweeds are technically invasive so nature is so cool 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Gideon the Ninth. This really is a dark hill to die on. Now I suffer with a work bestie + long time bestie. I'm gonna have to savor the other books 120
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 18/06/2026My Lucky Life in and out of Show Business. Dick van Dyke’s memoir. Truly the definition of a humble gentleman 210
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 14/06/2026The Color of Law. Book that highlights how various industries had gotten away with segregation against African Americans (legally) throughout the 20th century. It's pretty informative but sometimes the technical jargon went a little over my head ngl 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 11/06/2026What Kind of Paradise. Book about a woman recounting her criminal father and how it got to that point. Read for book club last month (I picked it since it was on my tbr). It was really good, absolutely sucked you in. Really good book about finding your own way 110
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Legends and Lattes. It's a quick book, very cozy and cute. I really wish that it was longer so we could get more plot but. *shrug* 110
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Haven’t really been active with fandom lately other than reading fic. Still trying that work/life balance. In the meantime going to an oddities expo today 🥺🥺 090
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 07/06/2026History Matters. Collection of essays from a recently deceased historian. It always is refreshing when we bring up the topic that we're so often history illiterate, oftentimes bc historians refuse to use their imagination to make historical events interesting and/or why it matters 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Dividers. I have no idea how the fuck I found this through Goodreads ten years ago. I will say it's a fairly unique read. Whatever you expect from the Goodreads summary, think again. 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 31/05/2026A Year of Biblical Womanhood. Fun experiment of moderate Christian writer interpreting the Bible as literally as possible for a year. It was a good mix of the author’s introspective of modesty and placing herself into deeper diving into scripture 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 27/05/2026The Price of Salt (Carol). I still haven’t watched the movie but the book definitely holds up. Not me being emotional at 6:30 over lets go lesbians 110
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 24/05/2026End of Days. Comprehensive book of the Ruby Ridge standoff, which shortly preceded the Waco standoff. It also mixed in a lot of background/decades of research behind why apocalyptic/evangelical/super right-wing people have become why they are. (which has given me a lot of good reading material/ 200
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Midnight Flyboys. Pretty interesting read regarding soldiers + spies that helped out the French resistance during WWII. Also +1 for highlighting some of the women spies as well 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 20/05/2026The American. So it’s not the most compelling story in the world, but it will scratch your itch of messy 19th century old money vs new money types 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 13/05/2026The Undiscovered Country. Ngl with y’all I did have trouble reading this just bc it’s just so painfully one sided (white) 100
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Saw this Reddit thread talking specifically about where the cheese from local restaurants’ cheese fries come from and now I’m gonna be thinking about this all week at work 050
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The Waters of Nyra, volume 1. Book about enslaved dragons and trying to escape. I really wish the book was longer bc there's so much more you could expand in the world. I will read volume 2 eventually, though 200
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 02/05/2026www.twitch.tv/r0wlets we are back we are LIVE ACTUALLY doing another year of Tales of Appreciation, raising money for St. Jude 🥰🥰 stop on by to mine or any of my fellow participants' streams this month it'll be a lot of fun good vibes only tr.ee/fs5dKYzjuJ tiltify.com/+tales-of-ap... 021
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Bird by Bird. A book based on writing. It is outdated in some senses (since it was written in 1994, we've come a long way with making self publishing a lot more accessible) but it does still hit some good points, like how publishing doesn't necessarily bring happiness or stability, and 200
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Ok, so this was read for college not high school, but it was a doozy. I had to take this class as it was required first year and we read a bunch of books or excerpts for the lore. One Day, All Children, I will tell you is probably one of those books that catapulted modern day Am into shenanigans. 110
CLOUTSIRE @r0wlets.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Eva Evergreen and the Cursed Witch. Second book in Eva's series. Really feel good book regarding choices and the possibilities within everything. I still wish flamefoxes were real 210
