It occurred to me today that I unintentionally have no fewer than 4 astronauts in my apartment - 3 painted by @peripateticmeg.bsky.social and 1 still-inflated balloon from a 1 year old's birthday party....in 2022.

*Gasp*! Cover reveal AND preorder discount for ONCE, AGAIN, ALWAYS by Amanda Gayle?! To quote Amanda (not on bsky), it's preorder season, so consider getting in on this delicious second chance romance with a discount! Code PREORDER25. Credit to @ivmaruva.bsky.social for the gorgeous cover art!

Cover reveal of Once, Again, Always, featuring a man and woman sitting on a blue sofa surrounded by books

A second-chance romance following a young woman who wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the past six years, only to find that she apparently married the one man she can’t stand—her arrogant and infuriating former boarding school rival.

Molly Graham’s day can’t possibly get any worse after she wakes up in a hospital bed with a head injury and amnesia. But then Aster Bishop—the Aster Bishop who made her life hell at boarding school—storms into her room calling her his wife.

To Molly’s shock, in the six years she no longer recalls, she somehow fell in love with a man she once despised. Persuaded by her lifelong friends to give her new reality a chance, she reluctantly returns to the home she and Aster share to try and piece together her life.

So much has changed, not least the considerate and devastatingly handsome man who spends every night sleeping on the sofa to avoid making her uncomfortable. This Aster is nothing like the entitled boy she once knew. Their chemistry is undeniable, but he’s distant with her, infuriatingly so. It’s clear he has secrets, and Molly can’t stand it. Especially knowing that she might never regain her memories.

That she fell in love with Aster Bishop once is hard enough to believe. But to fall in love again? To promise a future, always, when she can’t remember her past? It feels impossible when faced with a man she hardly knows and isn’t sure she can trust.

And yet…

First ever book nook from @worksofwhimsy.bsky.social - a library in my library, for my D&D minis to study up between sessions!

Book nook in wood painted to look like a library organized in rainbow. The top floor has stained glass and an owl, the bottom floor has lights in a circle that look like a summoning circle. There are two d&d minis placed inside

Literally impossible (with my skills) to capture the vibrancy of these colors in my gorgeous @peculiarityshop.bsky.social mystery box! I need to start going out way more to justify all this incredible jewelry I now have

Silver geometric earrings with green looking glass, an ear cuff with teal feather charm and blue rose, and a blue necklace with pendant, leaf looking silver and beads

I know the world is on fire but I just rode a bike over the border from Croatia to Montenegro to see *this* and right now? I’m alright.

Um. This @peculiarityshop.bsky.social mystery box y’all. I never take chances on jewelry bc I’m so picky but I trust these artists and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Like, I’m obsessed. Run don’t walk. Mega thanks to @peripateticmeg.bsky.social and potential other mystery jewelry maker(s)?

Just an update re the imposter: they wised up & changed the name to something CLOSE to mine, but not actually right. *That profile is not mine.* I'm not on X for obvious reasons, so if you are still there, please do not engage with this person. I just worry so much they'll hurt or trick someone

Rebecca Matte@rebeccamatte· Mar 10

Hi friends: I’m being impersonated on X (and maybe here) and this person is asking people to get in touch to make books. I am not on X but was sent this screenshot to my website. Can you please report this account, and spread the word? @bradfordagents.bsky.social @victoriastrauss.bsky.social

My dog decided for herself that it was immediately time for dinner (it’s not for another hour) and is now absolutely furious that I haven’t gotten up off the couch. Intermittently kissing me, climbing me, and jumping angrily from the floor so I notice her starvation
