love that journey for me.

May you be as unbothered on this Thursday as Lucy sleeping on both my work and personal laptops. 🐈‍⬛💤 (at Glendale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTD2b_PhLH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

She’s fresh 💇🏻‍♀️ (Just a trim with some color refresh!) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8q0B_LjRA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Indy, Obviously. Can’t wait to dive into @beckyalbertalli’s newest. Becky is one of those authors I found through her debut novel when I was a baby bookseller way back in 2015, and ever since, she’s been an auto-buy, shout from the rooftops about her and her books kind of author. Prepare for me to be obnoxious, especially now that HarperCollins’ union has reached an agreement. https://www.instagram.com/p/Co6TD7ZLYLZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Until next year. ✌🏻#vnsabooksale https://www.instagram.com/p/Co22bQiSz391-In2fuh4q4BjhIkgL8jLyDy5jo0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello? Yes - ASPCA? Yes, Jax would like to lodge a formal complaint against his mom for allowing him to see even a little bit of the bottom of his food bowl. https://www.instagram.com/p/CovLCWsyyyrl7BdpI9qRGN5xF3lwfzAu309D5M0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In case you have also had a Monday™️, please enjoy this picture of Jax cuddling my leg last night for some serotonin. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVlK-vyqP9BAa1exXzCFq8ZFZtFyeGh6OdIs80/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m only about halfway through but I’m going to go out on a limb here as someone who is fat and has struggled with their weight and body image for a good majority of my life - if you are a fat person, know a fat person, love a fat person, or interact with a fat person (or people), you need to read this book. Yes, even if you think your comments about their weight are well meaning. Yes, even if you don’t think you’re contributing to anti-fatness. Yes, even if you’re under the guise that you’re not anti-fat. Read. This. Book. @yrfatfriend is opening up an intersectional conversation about weight and fatness and we all need to hear and sit with some uncomfortable truths about weight, diet culture, and all things associated. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAYLD6JHVrIfxTI3jwiVEuqtpeUfD1oMh6o5k0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Y’all get two photos today because Toby came out of hiding and I had to document the moment. (at Glendale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDsGnhLujv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New year - new desk bookshelf refresh. Some are new, some were gifted to me, and some I just like having nearby. Some authors/artists included but I ran out of tags: @grahseeya, @claribel_ortega, @rosebousamra, @theamyzhang, @jessicaclarebooks (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCszNyJoWJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been real (and fun), 2022. ✌🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2v8XSLTCh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jax isn’t the cuddliest of my kitties, but when he does cuddle - he’s going to make sure you know it 💜 #oldmangrump (at Glendale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmw5wtwykGn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Congrats to my brother, Evan, who completed his Masters in Social Work from Texas State University. The world could use more people like him and the field of social work doesn’t even know how lucky they are to have him. Onwards and upwards!

Game recognize game. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6LfbQrFjdJ2YRKVAiquf47rDTE7Dd2qheVSE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I bought one of those fuzzy sherpa fleece tote bags from Barnes and Noble. I don’t think it’s mine any more. (at Glendale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxQnyPrpEO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I always feel like somebody’s watching meeee. (at Glendale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clc9VWeLcaR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Enjoy your holiday if you celebrate. The Hill family tradition of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles continues. The best from our families to yours. (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClXZgdxJPRv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
