Novelist. Redhead. Scorpio. I live in a world of magic, witty banter, and women who aren't afraid to fight the odds. And there's a lot going on in my books too.

Still watching VA eps! There are changes (inevitable w/film&tv), but most key elements are in there. The order of many of them has shuffled, putting me in constant anxiety b/c now I don't know when someone's going to die. 😂 Is that how you guys feel when reading??

I think a lot of fans are wondering this, but I can tell you after 5 minutes, you'll know exactly who's who. While watching, there were lots of times where I was like, "OMG that is the most Rose response ever!" 😂

I’m so nervous abt this like do I like that the cast is inclusive?? Yes. Do I Lowkey hate that I can’t tell who is supposed to be who and doesn’t match the book?? Also Yes. 🫣

Still can’t say what I’m writing, but it’s not R&D’s BedBath&Beyond registry b/c I actually think they’re IKEA people. But Rose would try to build things without reading the directions and then get mad when it didn’t work: “What the hell’s a SKOGSTA? That’s not even a real word!”

What could it be??? The Jerome/Carter spinoff everyone wants? Rose and Dimitri's Bed Bath & Beyond registry? The infamous Age of X 3? She-Ra fan fic? Something totally and completely new? Tell me your best guesses! I won't actually tell you if you're right, but we'll have fun. ;)

Been browsing B&N's Big Book Haul online but decided to stop by my local store too. Of course I had to find THE EMERALD SEA and make sure it was indeed 50% off. As I picked it up, this girl beside me says, "That author is really good! Unless you don't like cliffhangers." NOTED.
