Homophobic lighting on a not-holiday holiday at work? Shocking. Happy Indigenous People’s Day to my fellow Murkins! Happy Thanksgiving to my True North friends! 🇨🇦 🦃 Happy Monday to most of you, happy Tuesday to my Aus/AoNZ folk! 👋🏽
Bearded Black man: he wears a cream hoodie over a maroon polos shirt. He shands against a blank wall with a “Please keep coffee area CLEAN” sign. The lighting is unfortunate.

I didn’t know what to expect. I definitely loved this book. The thing is I was so frustrated while reading it because of the *characters*, not the story. And I want to say more but do not want to ruin it for anyone who chooses to seek this out.
Bearded Black man: he wears a bright red shirt as he is covered with a maroon throw. He holds a softbound book on his chest, pinched in his hand at the edges.

Book cover: two men face each other. The taller one on the left is redheaded with a full beard; he wears a brown jacket and has his hand touching the chin of the other man, using his finger. The shorter man on the right has dark brown hair and a clear caramel complexion, and is clean shaven; he wears a green shirt. Their faces look happy. The background is a gradient top-bottom from purple to pink, and filled with gold twinkling stars.

Can a goy, pint-sized redhead first grade teacher and ball of sunshine find commonality (and love) with a Jewish, large ex-Army vet now grumpy school custodian? This was a delightful grumpy/sunshine romance dealing with love, rejection, twins (!) and PTSD. Second in MA Wardell’s series.
Bearded Black man: he wears a very light lilac shirt and smiles as he holds a softbound book with one hand and near his face. He is before a wall with a landscape lithograph behind him.

Book cover: two White men sit next to each other. The man on the left: he is blond with tight curls, wearing a green work jumpsuit and brown boots. He sits on a wooden stool. He is on a larger build. The man on right: he is a redhead with short and straight hair fuller at the top, wearing a butter yellow button shirt and peach trousers cuffed at the mid shin as his gold hi-tops and matching socks are visible. He sits on a large wooden dreidel with the Hebrew letter “gimel” showing (meaning “gadol”, lit. “great” but signifying “the whole pot of gelt” in the Hanukkah dreidel game). Behind them is a green chalkboard with cursive letters of the alphabet shown. Between them is a sprig of red mistletoe. The wall is green and the floor red. The cover is an illustration.

Book title: “Mistletoe and Mishigas”
Book author: gay author M A Wardell
Book series: “Teacher of the Year” (2/4)

NB: “mishigas” is the Yiddish word for “craziness, madness, zaniness”, as derived from the Hebrew. The blond character on the cover is Jewish in the novel.

Whew boy! This one was a trip. Sad that it’s the fifth of the six “Boston” books, but really liked the enemies-to-lovers story, especially with a player who for four previousbooks is kind of a dick; he’s still a dick you end up cheering for.
Bearded Black man: he holds a softbound book to his chin as he grins widely with teeth showing.

Book cover: a man with floppy brown hair and low scruffy beard wears a leather jacket; he poses with one hand to his face, thumb to his lip, and the other hand cupping his elbow. He has a sultry meanish look as his head is tilted down. Tattoos are visible at the wrist. Behind him is a blurred image of a hockey arena.

Okay, so I finished the three book series last week. Book 2 (“Scoring Chance”) is a friends-to-lovers meets “fake relationship” scenario. Book 3 (“King of the Crease”) is a hidden-identity story. Both of these had a sweetness about them mixed with the graphic sex and fun writing.
Bearded Black man: he wears a red robe and sits on a sofa against a wall. He holds two softbound books.

Book 1: six people in a locker room with green top-bottom lockers against an orange wall. Two adults, both male, sit with children of varying ages. The two men are in hockey gear; the blond in just a white tank and black knee pads; the brunet in a black jersey. One child is a teen brunette looking at her phone. A second child is an auburn girl draped over the shoulders of the brunet man. The third child is a sandy blond boy wearing a magician’s cape and white shirt and holding a wand. The last child is a blond boy in an athletic tee with the number 1 in red. The children belong to the blond man. Title: “Scoring Chance”

Book 2: two hockey players on the ice in front of a goal bedecked in garland. Both are in goalie gear with thick pads and white shin guards. The brunet man wears a white jersey. The blond man wears a black jersey. The blond man has a slightly larger physique. The two men face each other with starry eyes. Title: “King of the Crease”

Both book covers are illustrations.

Black man: his hand is visible as he holds a CD case, open to show the insert booklet and one of the two CDs within. Behind it all is a yellow wall.

The booklet shows the artist, Carly Ray Jepsen, sitting at a cafe table, her long red hair cascading over her black leather jacket; near her hand she has a demitasse. A mysterious man sits in the foreground only visible from his arm and hand as he sits at a different table looking toward her. The window behind shows a setting sun behind a large cloud before a ruddy sky. The booklet has an autograph in gold Sharpie that reads “Carly Rae”. The album (2026) is a double album called “Day and Night”.

Lo! Vibrational plate. 😊 Meat is tender and juicy as fuck and falls off the bone. 🙌🏽
A paper plate, in a festive pattern. On the plate: crinkle-cut chips (French fries), a rack of ribs with barbecue sauce on top, cole slaw. The plate sits atop a green plastic cutting board.

She has two more dual-shot TNG scenes! One in “Cost of Living” outside the Holodeck, and this one in “Manhunt”! And agreed: she deserves a raised glass for all she did through her years with Star Trek. 🥂🖖
The great Majel Barrett-Roddenberry as Lwaxana Troi and Carel Struycken as Mr Hom. They are both dressed in shiny futuristic outfits, as they stand next to a computer display with an Okudagram and a ship schematic of their current location. Lwaxana is addressing the ship’s computer, which was voiced by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.

No cheating. Post your lock screen (Finally changed it and made it regional and seasonal.)
A screenshot of a locked iPhone: the image shows rudbeckia in bloom, with their round brown fuzzed centres and medially thin petals crowning flatly outward, in a deep golden yellow graded to a slightly paler yellow. The green of the leaves is visible in a background blur. Displayed is the time, charge status, and temperature in centigrade.

[Nudity] It’s Moonochrome Monday (mcm) and the first of three of the “Merryapple” series of books by Glenn Quigley. These precede (chronologically in-universe) the two Blackrabbit books I read already. I really loved this tome. 🥰
Black man (beard not visible): his body is cropptto show his tummy, leg, arm, and shoulder; he is nude and naked. He holds a softbound book. Behind him is a sheer living room curtain. The book is rendered in colour, while everything else is B/W.

Book cover: it shows a tall lighthouse in a paint pattern, upper half in black and white, with lower half in white and black. The moon is full and to our right. The setting is misty and blue.

Book title: The Moth And Moon 
Book author: Irish queer author Glenn Quigley

My word. This was a relatively simple read, but no less short (480+ pages). It’s the 4th book in the series (gay hockey romance within a fictional Boston pro team). Bi awakening (player) with openly bi staff member who is the twin brother of the openly gay team GM (MC of Book 2)!
Bearded Black man: he holds a softbound book next to his head.

The cover: A shirtless man with a tanned, smooth, toned and well-built physique, stands with arms crossed, biceps veiny and full. He wears a backwards ball cap in black; he looks serious through his dark eyes, black mustache and heavy stubble. Behind him is a blurred image of a hockey arena.

Book title: Delayed Penalty 
Book author: Brigham Vaughn
Book series: Scoring Chances (Book Four)
