One of the cool things about kids is that some are obsessed with stuff like Pokémon and some are obsessed with stuff like cats, while still others are obsessed with ancient Rome and yet others are obsessed with sea shanties. And some love more than one of these or something else entirely.

The heroine in this one is a time-traveling Transylvanian knife-throwing carnie so, you know, she’s awesome.
🔖🧶 Read This Is Your Brain on Fibre by Michelle Woodvine (Digits & Threads).
A great article that explores a lot of the reasons fiber crafting is good for our mental health.
Finished reading: Wicked Abyss by Kresley Cole 📚
This is a banger of a Beauty and the Beast retelling, with an ending I radically prefer to the Disney version. Highly recommend.
🔖 Read You are having a midlife crisis. It’s fine.
This is an interesting pairing with The Cut’s The Case for Marrying an Older Man.
The former points out that a woman partying at midlife is not, in fact, a revolution. Which pairs fascinatingly with the latter’s framing of being a young artist supported by a partner as a brilliant life hack. I’m curious what the author of the latter’s midlife crisis will look like.
Finished reading: Shadow’s Seduction by Kresley Cole 📚
It took me a long time to get into this one and it’s not as strong as a lot of the other Immortals After Dark books, but I still ended up liking it.

I really liked this one, the way the main characters interact with each other is both sweet and hot. I’ve only got 4 books left before I’m caught up on the Immortals After Dark series.
Finished reading: Sweet Ruin by Kresley Cole 📚
“She’d thought there was no greater connection than destiny decreeing them joined. But there was—the choice they’d made to love each other.”
Loved it.
Happy First Contact Day, y’all! Only 39 years until warp flight & meeting Vulcans! 🖖🏻
