Also, this goofball is not mine, but how can you resist that face?

Go check out all of the front-facing horse art over on the @cpsc.gov page! I love when humans use the internet for good! ❤️ (Also, in fairness, front facing photos of horses are tough too!)

Stopped by my favorite indie, @phoenixbooks.biz on the spur of the moment to pick up the next Dungeon Crawler Carl book and had a lovely chat, signed some books, recommended others, and of course, visited my friends books! Support your local indies!

Night out with a couple of my kids and a good friend for some fabulous local theater!

Two year ago it was announced the Lost Boys would become a Broadway musical. I immediately made plans to see it. I didn't care if it was cheesy & only ran for 6 weeks. I have always loved this movie and I knew I had to see it. I finally saw the show on Wednesday and I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!

Asked my 14 year old avid reader to beta read something for me. He had some genuinely great feedback but this one is probably my favorite.

I was sorting through my sewing supplies the other day and went through buttons I have from my grandmother. Lots of 5 cent clearance items, some interesting style choices, and a tag for her to sign her projects.

An old package of 9 green buttons. The plastic is wrinkled with age. The price is listed as 4/$1.00

Some very interesting pink buttons that look vaguely x rated. They seem to be flowers. The cardboard says "Fashionable Buttons" and "chic."

Black buttons with several prices crossed off landing on 0.05 from Grant's Department store

A fabric tag which reads "Specially Hand Made by Doris"

They definitely don't mind! This one is ours. His name is Edward.

In other news my cat is beautiful.

Ha! Found it. (It should also be noted that it was only colored on one side)

Check out this AMAZING fanart of Malachi and his spark of creation from Grounded for All Eternity. Thank you so much, Saffron, for the lovely email and fantastic art! #GroundedForAllEternity #FanArt

I'm so sad to see the news about Nicholas Brendon. As a huge Buffy fan I was thrilled to meet him at a convention years ago. He was so wonderful. ❤️

I did this photo op specifically so I would have this picture to post on Pi Day every year. Happy Pi Day!

Then we got a tease, a spin-off show called Wayward Sisters, lead by fan favorites @kimrhodes.bsky.social & Briana Buckmaster. The cast was great! The premiere was loved. There was a ready made fandom who were going to be as loyal to this new show as they were to SPN. #WaywardAF campaigns launched!

Here is why the DNC is just like the showrunners of the hit show Supernatural. I've been thinking about this a lot. My qualifications: I've been to many SPN conventions, Mark Shepherd followed me on Twitter, I've written & read SPN fanfic, & have an anti-possession tattoo. Blue voter. Ok, here we go

It's this kind of thing that makes me really angry. If my search term is US Women Hockey why are you telling me the men won gold? So did the women. Post that cute little graphic!

A Google search for "US women's hockey" shows the rising medal graphic announcing that the men's team won gold.

Happy Valentine's Day all! My current read is a book club selection: Wuthering Heights. A book I HATED as a teen. Let's see if I feel differently now. I did however finish Heated Rivalry last night! The show was such a faithful adaptation. ❤️

Happy Valentine's Day runs across a red graphic. There are two book covers, Grounded for all Eternity and The Afterlife of the Party by Darcy Marks. Both covers feature a flying boy with a flaming sky in the background. A heart takes up the middle of the image. XOXO is in the corner.

Well this was a first! I went to my kids horseshow banquet and I got an award! She nominated me for their "It Takes A Village Award." I made them give me the printout with her nomination so I can keep reading it. Love this kid so much! ❤️

Hope all my author friends are having a wonderful World Read Aloud Day! And that the teachers and students are enjoying the visits. Thanks to @katemessner.com for always facilitating this fabulous day!

I keep thinking about the defections that used to occur when I was a kid during the Olympics. They don't want US athletes getting any ideas.

Hmm. Ok. I'll take it. That's good, right?

What a perfect holiday read! The gingerbread warriors make it fit the season, the struggles of a reluctant teenage hero angry at the adults who failed to step up, make it a deeply wonderful read. Loved it!

It depends on the arc you want to follow. (Although you can just read chronologically) There are guides online but here's a great chart. For kids books read the Tiffany Aching line!
