I went to the local Friends of the Library book sale and they had a blind date with a book shelf so I grabbed one. (Cat not included.) #horrorbooks #amreading #ilovelibraries
I’m watching the Sheep Detectives which is really cute but also it’s funny there’s a reporter character who is closer to Daniel Molloy in demeanor and looks than either version of him on the show that is supposedly based on him
June Reads! 10 books (5 on audio - I get through a lot of audiobooks because I listen while I drive, walk, and even part of my workday). Favs were Our Wives Under the Sea, Thrall, Dark Heir, and The Butcher's Masquerade. #amreading
If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula My favorite reporter boy, Daniel Molloy
Anyway if you want a fun queer #vampire read that is not the Vampire Chronicles and more of a beach read, I cannot recommend Thrall by Rebecca Mahoney enough. It's got a lesbian protagonist who's bitten by a vampire, I love the way it plays with vampire tropes and expectations, and it's fast-paced.
If you want a quick read (or listen - the audiobook is great!) about an unhinged woman who will do anything to get her dream house, Best Offer Wins is incredible. I am here for all the unmoored female protagonists going to extremes.
The first part of the Lego Hail Mary build is Grace and Rocky 😭🥰🥹✨ #lego #projecthailmary
The degree to which I relate to Murderbot is unreal tbh. #platformdecay #murderbot
Also it’s this boy’s 17th birthday today!! I wanted a dog and got this orange creature with one brain cell and a penchant for mischief instead, and it’s the best thing that I ever did.
Hit up a couple bookstores today and got some things! I’ve been digging thrillers lately and then Dungeon Crawler Carl is curtesy of the BN employee who was geeking out with me over Murderbot and talked me into it (there’s a 🐈.) #amreading #books
Here is mine! The newest and favorite are probably the most beautiful also but I really am a sucker for those 90s paperbacks since they were my first set. And the most special is special because it was given to me in a set. #interviewwiththevampire #iwtv #vampirechronicles
Varied library haul! Got plenty to read this week. Dark Rise by CS Pacat, The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett, and We Have Always Been Here by Lena Nguyen. #amreading #libraryhaul
Things I forgot I had that I find while moving. I was an anime girlie in the late 90s early 2000s hahaha
One of my cats has made a nest in his favorite blanket to hide from the new apartment. #cats
My friend knows I’m having a rough time right now and sent me this! LMAO I love him. 😍 😂
The Game is Lestat vs Armand as they try to go 2 weeks without blood while studying a mortal of their choice. Can they stick to the rules & play the game without ruining everyone else's summer? Ensemble cast, post-canon, part 1/6. #lesmand #vampirechronicles #tvc archiveofourown.org/works/787462...
The Alice in Wonderland thing in finch this month is cute so far. My birb drank a mysterious potion and is now huge.
In 2025, I read 23 books. My goal this year is to hit 25 (which was my goal last year but I fell a little short.) #amreading #2025reads
Rowan Mayfair is a neurosurgeon so I assume I would have gotten through med school and by some miracle managed to get used to seeing people’s brains. I wonder what my student debt would look like 😬
