CJ Meade | Book Dragon

I maybe kinda failed 🙃

There is a part of me that is desperately hoping that books I want are not on Black Friday sales because I just got my shelves reorganized and as I book dragon, my restraint for buying new books is…not great 😅

Happy Pride Month, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Book dragon logic:

I need to stop buying books so I can save up to go on a book buying spree!

Threads has finished their pilot for ads and is starting to roll them out more broadly 🙄

So, if you suddenly see another wave of newcomers, that would be why.

Oh, these are just my favorite sprayed edges for my book tree. I have standard editions of a number of them with spines out in my bookcases, especially if I got the special edition after reading the standard. Sometimes I put the special editions spine out if I like the spine design more.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the bookish of them all? 📚

Me: This book is going to destroy you. Devastate you. You will never emotionally recover.

Also me: It is incredible, and you must read it.

Congratulations!! That is awesome.

That’ll do it 😂

Me: I will just listen to this audiobook for an hour to wind down before going to sleep.

Also me: *4 hours later at 3am when my headphones died* …oops.

😂

Same. This week seems to be a week where a number of preorders I have been waiting on were fulfilled, but after feeling nothing with the first one, I have just let the others pile up.

Slap you? No. But I can think of some others I would enjoy seeing slapped.

It really has.

Yeah. Now I am just letting book mail sit unopened because I don’t the torment of opening it and feeling nothing 😅

FELT 😅

I think reading might be the only thing keeping me sane right now 😅

Not even book mail and reading managed to give me a small burst of dopamine, which is just sacrilegious.

Some eons 😂

Yeah, I stopped following the news about a week ago because the fire hose of wtf information is enough to drive a person insane.

Some months 😅

I keep trying to find my way back to my playful bookish and coffee posting, but I cannot seem to find the energy, creativity, or will to do much of anything outside of screaming into the void.

I barely used Facebook for years, so it was mostly just family and people I knew growing up. since my family and the circles I was raised in are all very right-leaning, I was just angry every time I got on. And had I removed all of them, all I would have left are some profs and friends from college.

I left Facebook, but I am still on Insta and Threads, lol.

Yeah. It has become very targeted towards certain groups too -_-

Thread’s algorithm hates me because I care about absolutely heinous things like basic human rights for everyone. I know, wild stuff.

Anyway, I will probably be posting here more because I refuse to stop being a book dragon who is quite passionate about DEI and the rights of my LGBTQ+ community.

Haha, thank you. I will be here all week 😂
