I'm not going to be posting here anymore (I'm seriously downsizing my social media for my own mental health), so if you want to keep up with my shenanigans, see pics of Oz and Pax, and find out what I'm editing, follow me in the blue place or insta.

@sarahhollowell I just finished listening to We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer and while I wouldn't say it was super scary, it was very creepy and was a great audio production. The story drew me in immediately and kept my attention all the way through.

In case you missed it yesterday... This beauty will be available from Tenebrous in January. It's a super personal book for me that deals with pregnancy, anxiety, and the question of "what makes a good mother?"

[Lesley Conner @LesleyConner]

This story is amazing!!! You won't want to miss it!

The world and life have been a lot today, so I'm hunkering down, ignoring all my notifications, and reading for the rest of the evening.

✨ICYMI✨ "Halogen Sky" by @wnwagner

"If I had only learned to drive, or better yet, refused to visit my parents in their apocalyptic bunker, we’d be happily at home, cuddled on the couch in front of the Criterion collection."

Had a SUPER rough mental health day. I've been in bed since 7:30, under a quilt my mom made me, reading and giving myself the space I need to (hopefully) feel better tomorrow. So, just in case someone else needs to hear it, it's okay to take the space you need.

[Apex Publications @ApexBookCompany]

We have an opening on the team! We're seeking a social media manager.
