Not sure if I have 6 rocks on my island, but hopefully I can get them to relocate pretty easily :-) It's not done yet, either. I'll post more when it's more done.15 Apr 2026 00:03 +0000at://did:plc:dhuiv2unepjlsbybbls7adff/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjilsjoqq22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/pickybookworm.bsky.social/post/3mjhp3a4rps2qBook one of the Furyck Saga.... done! Starting book 2 today. This series has 7 books, I believe, and not a single one has fewer than 600 pages! If you want a super long series with fun characters, check this out! Book one is Winter's Fury. I believe the author is AE Rayne.14 Apr 2026 15:29 +0000at://did:plc:dhuiv2unepjlsbybbls7adff/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjhp3a4rps2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pickybookworm.bsky.social/post/3mjd4qrtpes2oI said the other day that I was reading the furyck saga, and as much as I like to say I HATE enemies to lovers, this romance in my fantasy series is one of the better examples. I don't love romance, and this series is DEFINITELY more fantasy, but the slow burn between the love interests... chef kiss12 Apr 2026 19:50 +0000at://did:plc:dhuiv2unepjlsbybbls7adff/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjd4qrtpes2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/pickybookworm.bsky.social/post/3mjcuhny7p22cI haven't talked about it much, because my brain has been on other things, and I read some things on LinkedIn that gave me the worst imposter syndrome, but with my husband's support, I'm happy to announce I'm back in the proofreading game.

They're middle grade, and the story is so well done I sometimes wish I lived in the Merge.

She asked me, "why are you so skinny?" While I'm nowhere near my goal weight yet, that made me feel SO good. 1/203 Apr 2026 12:56 +0000at://did:plc:dhuiv2unepjlsbybbls7adff/app.bsky.feed.post/3milrgxhfa227https://bsky.app/profile/pickybookworm.bsky.social/post/3mi7oti5sis2uHubs got a kitten!

No, not my family. I try not to ask for money like this for myself. Probably why my recent gofundme did so badly.

No, I would not use the cover. Advertising only, not in things I actually sell 2.
