Sorry to have missed the Micro.blog analog meetup! My sense of timing is a bit discombobulated due to conference travel and changes to it. See y’all next month!

Want to read: Grove Hollow Metamorphosis: A 1980s Gothic Paranormal Romance Novel by Shelby Nicole McFadden 📚
Probably going to buy this one but I’ve told myself I have to finish one of the books I own before I may.
Finished reading: In the Case of Heartbreak by Courtney Kae 📚
Highest of recommendations here. This book is a cute romance but it’s also healing to read.

You are not a burden… You are a blessing.
Just Courtney Kae still wrecking me with In the Case of Heartbreak, that’s all.

Your feelings are valid and important no matter how they make me feel… you aren’t responsible for my response.
Read this in Courtney Kae’s In the Case of Heartbreak last night and then wept uncontrollably for a while. Is this what a trauma response feels like?

Get a group of people around you that you love, and that love you… Give them an idea that has enough empty space in it that they can make it their own. When you get it back, it’ll be better than you ever thought possible.

Ah hiding in the bathroom to get a little quiet, my old friend.
Kinda sad today’s idea gardens post from Austin Kleon is one of the paid ones because I want everyone to be able to check it out. For similar vibes, try his blog’s gardening tag and Mo Willems’s idea gardens Instagram post.
Finished reading: Love Requires Chocolate by Ravynn K. Stringfield 📚
Full review coming later, but I loved this confection of a YA romance from Ravynn K. Stringfield, my creative nonfiction for academics teacher. A Francophile Black American girl falling in love with Paris and a cute Parisian. Highly recommend.
Finished reading: The Frame-Up by Gwenda Bond 📚
I thought this was going to be a romance book with a heist, but I was mistaken. It’s a heist book with a romance! It’s beautifully done. Full review coming soon. The Frame-Up releases February 13. Pre-order it now!
