🔖 Read What Is Mental Load? (And Why Is It Important?) by Randi Donahue (The Good Trade).
It feels a propos that I read this sitting in the dentist’s office a couple yards away from where my kid is getting sealant on his 6-year molars.
I’m lucky to have a partner who carries a lot of this load, but list-making and note-taking also help me immensely.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I tore through this one so fast. I think it might partly be because the heroine is a PhD candidate.
Finished reading: Dark Needs at Night’s Edge by Kresley Cole 📚
My favorite Immortals After Dark book so far. A burlesque dancer becomes a ballerina, ends up a ghost, and falls in love with a vampire who is trapped in the New Orleans Gothic manor that she haunts. 🌹👻🩰

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ as always. Werewolves continue to not be my thing but I love witches.

Listen, all these Immortals After Dark books are 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️, okay? That’s just what’s up. I like this one better than the one that came before it, definitely more my vibe.
I added “Citizen of Romancelandia.” to my bio everywhere.

See, that’s why W and I were together for 10 years before we got engaged. ("‘Til death do us part" is for quitters.)
