Mollified.Moments

Okay Bluesky, I’ve been neglecting you, but I’m trying to post here more. Looking for #booksky, like minded friends!

📚 diverse reading, banned books, libraries
🐈 cats
🌿 plants
🔮 crystals + witchy/Halloween vibes
🎮 gaming

If you’re pro-equality, pro-science, and anti-fascist, we’ll get along great.

Finished The Thirteen Black Cats of Edith Penn by Sean McDonough
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dark, witchy, and full of feline power. I only wish there’d been more cats (because obviously, cats > humans).

Tortellini approves. 🐈‍⬛✨

To put it simply, I adored Cleopatra by Saara El-Arifi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cleopatra felt brilliant, flawed, and human. The world building was 😍, the romance lovely, but her devotion to her empire was always at the heart. Tears & goosebumps.

Pubs 2/24/26.

Donate to Help Us Put Banned Books in Kids' Hands, organized by The Sterlings I made a post about how I am paying my 19, 14, and 11-year-old (white) boys $10 … The Sterlings needs your support for Help Us Put Banned Books in Kids' Hands

Love this idea: giving kids access to banned books and encouraging them to read and think critically. Jamie is turning it into a nonprofit to make it happen — you can help support her work here:

✨ QOTD - Weekend on a floating hotel in space—yes or no?

#booksky #bookreview #floatinghotel

My cats with the book floating hotel

🚀🌌 Floating Hotel by Grace Curtis – ⭐️⭐️✨ (2.75)

Loved the concept of a cozy sci-fi hotel in space, but it felt more like little snapshots than one big story. Wanted more world-building + character connection. Still, the cats and I had a cozy cuddle while reading. 🐾💙

She was the only one who cared, and it came up a bit more than I needed, but it didn’t take away from the warmth of the story.

Overall, warm, feel-good, and left me smiling. Can’t wait for the next one!

I loved the found family vibes, from her friends in the baking competition to her dads next door. And Faylin! I adored them. Azlan says two paws up for snuggles, pets, and a perfect cozy read 🐾

The only thing that didn’t quite click for me was how often Arleta mentioned not having magic.

🥖✨ A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic ✨🥖 by J. Penner (@jpennerauthor) — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/5

Such a cozy, sweet read! It gave me total Great British Bake Off vibes, but with magic, and made me want to curl up with a blanket and something warm from the oven.

If you’re a bookworm, cat mom, plant parent, gamer, library haunter, Halloween lover, or crystal collector…and you also can’t wait for fall (and by fall, I mean both crunchy leaves and crumbling systems of oppression 😉)...follow me!

#AOTD: As much as I love tortellini, I’m going to have to say pastina. 🥰

✨📚 Spell Your Pet’s Name challenge…

After seeing a couple friends on IG try this, I knew I had to do it with my cats! 🐾

First up is Tortellini…who is not always the most cooperative model, but she played along for treats today. 😂

Swipe to see all the Tortellini cuteness!

It’s been a while since I posted about gaming—life’s been busy. Missing it, but Tiny Bookshop on Switch by @tinybookshopgame.bsky.social is the perfect cozy escape. Decorate your mobile shop, recommend books, chill vibes for $20. Azlan approves 😻 #CozyGaming #TinyBookshop

It’s filled with tribute, naps, and all the extra snacks we deserve.
What about your weekend? Any plans or fun reading lined up?

Reading about cats is a great start and honestly we approve of that kind of year-round devotion…but today calls for extra pets, snuggles, and treats, of course.

Now go on...shoo. Make us proud.

#QOTD - Well humans…our weekend is looking pretty great.

Hello Hoomans. Tortellini and Azlan here. Happy #InternationalCatDay 🎉🙌🏻😻

One day of tribute is cute and all...but let’s be honest you should be paying tribute to us every day. 🙌🏻

Hubble sees intricate structures including concentric gas shells, jets of high-speed gas and unusual shock-induced knots of gas, in red and green, in this image of the Cat's Eye Nebula.

🐈‍⬛ It's #InternationalCatDay and we found the purrfect image for today...

Happy pub day to How to Survive Camping: The Man With No Shadow by Bonnie Quinn. It’s got that eerie, weird vibe like Welcome to Night Vale, with creepy monsters and rules you really don’t want to break. I’d never survive a night there, but I loved reading it.

#bookthreads #cozyhorror #horrorbooks

Happy pub day to Automatic Noodles by Annalee Newitz. I gave this cozy sci-fi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars. It’s full of found-family robots, biang biang noodles, quiet resistance, and a lot of heart. I want to live in their shop and eat noodles forever.

💚 Already planning my next order.

You can find them over on Facebook!

#plants #plantsmakemehappy #pinkladypeperomia #peperomia #hoya #hoyaheuschkelianavariegata #plantmail #plantmom #plantsky

They were so kind and patient—answering all my (many) questions over Messenger and even sending photos to help me decide.

Of course I had to show off the plant babies first, but swipe to see the sweet handwritten note, stickers, pen, and just how beautifully everything was packed.

Huge thanks to Hartleaf Botanicals…the plants arrived and I’m in love. This was hands-down one of the best plant packing jobs I’ve ever seen. I’ve been waiting forever to get my hands on a Pink Lady Peperomia, and of course I couldn’t resist adding a variegated Hoya heuschkeliana to the order. 🌿

#FundLibraries #LibrariesAreEssential #SaveLibraries #SupportLibraries #LibrariesMatter

They’ve been a safe place, a lifeline, and proof that books connect us even when the world feels impossible.

Tortellini and Azlan mostly show their support by napping on my books, but I think we’d all agree: libraries matter. They deserve funding, protection, and people willing to fight for them.

Tell Congress to invest in libraries. #FUNDLIBRARIES I support library funding because without books, where would I sleep? (Picture of my cat sitting on a library books)

🛑 Stop scrolling.
⏰ Take five minutes and help protect our libraries.

If libraries have ever mattered to you, now’s the time to speak up.

Libraries shaped who I am...as a reader, as a person, as someone who believes in curiosity, community, and making sure stories are for everyone.

#bookthreads #audiobooks #librofm

Feeling really grateful to @libro.fm.bsky.social for including me in their Listener Program. It means a lot to support indie bookstores while fueling my audiobook habit — even if Tortellini thinks the real perk is more lap time for her.

Thanks for letting me be part of it.
