Morning Selfie (Coffee Mug Chain?)

19

Good morning, and happy hump day, folks! How's it going here in SG land?


I've been a bit preoccupied lately, but I want to stay somewhat active, so I decided to just post this selfie of me having coffee with my most recent enemy. I also have a bunch of sets and others' posts to catch up with soon. But for now, this mid-week selfie

@amra Starting the morning with you would certainly be a blessing! ❤️ You could always "fake it" and take a photo of one of the cups you usually choose, lol

Now Reading: The Jessica Niemi Series By Max Seeck

My next THREE reads! I've already worked my way through a few book series this year, but the roulette decided it was time for me to read another one.

What we have here, are the three first books in the crime series featuring Detective Jessica Niemi, written by Finnish author Max Seeck. There is technically a fourth book too, but I got the Norwegian translation

Haha for half a second I thought it sounded like the baby goats we used to raise, but they said more of a "MAAAAA" lol

@rheacreatesmagic Haha, yeah, it does kind of sound like a goat too. He sounded way more like an actual child when he was yelling "Mommy! Mommy!" lol

The StoryGraph

I have started taking the steps today to remove myself from Goodreads, as it is owned by Jeff Bezos. Instead, I have joined The StoryGraph, a black-owned alternative that works very much the same way as Goodreads, except it distances itself from Amazon products, and it is much more user-friendly.

As a die hard Kindle user I don’t bear Mr Bezos any malice but I’ll certainly check this out. I’m always on the lookout for a way to keep my reading organized. Most of my reading is from free ebooks these days (my local public library or Kindle Unlimited) & it gets frustrating when those don’t show up in one place, or I lose track of authors I enjoy.

@skisby To me, there is just too much history with him and racial discrimination. And the fact that Amazon profits from white supremacy books.

Oh damn. If you saw him in the Start Trek Deep Space 9 episode playing the grown up Jake Sisko, you got a sense of his tremendous acting ability that his most famous roles never revealed. So intense and so touching. He was truly a great actor.

Now Reading: The Book Eaters

Totally forgot to post this here yesterday, although I posted about it on FB and IG.

Behold my next read! We have another debut novel on our hands, by Sunyi Dean. First published in 2022, so I'm a little behind, but hey, books are portable time capsules anyway.


I'm intrigued by the premise: There is a secret line of people who feed on books (so

Now Reading: The Hellbound Heart

“No tears, please. It’s a waste of good suffering.”

I've been a fan of the Hellraiser movies for basically my whole life. Being the bookworm that I also am, I'm ashamed that I haven't read the source material yet. But that changes today. I present to you: The Hellbound Heart!

I do know that the movies go in a direction that is severely different

My Mug Shots

You wanna know if I've started to take my coffee game seriously? Does the fact that I'm now collecting cool mugs answer your question?

I have a standard set of mugs from the supermarket 🤔 I like to go to cafes to get my caffeine dose. This is how I can control my addiction to this drink ☕✨
