#Books:

According to #StoryGraph, I mainly read #fiction books that are adventurous, dark, and mysterious. I especially love #fantasy and #scifi, but I also enjoy mysteries, thrillers, and romance.

Some of my favorite authors are Anne McCaffrey, Terry Pratchett, Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, Robert R. McCammon, David Sedaris, and Diana Gabaldon.

Series and titles I love include The Talisman, Mistborn, Discworld, Outlander, Dragonriders of Pern, Wheel of Time, Murderbot Diaries, Earthseed, and Memoirs of a Geisha. Currently enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl and Spellmonger series.

#Music:

I grew up #singing in chorus and was in an all-girl a cappella group and a co-ed music service fraternity in college. Now I mostly just sing in the shower. I enjoy making playlists on #Deezer.

I love #rockmusic, but my taste is pretty eclectic. Pop, funk, hip-hop, bluegrass, soul, disco, musicals, zydeco; as long as it's uptempo and the vocals aren't bad or overly screamy, I'll likely be into it. I especially love piano and horns.

My absolute favorite band is Carbon Leaf, who I would describe as kind of indie folk rock with frequent Celtic vibes. They're super fun live. I've seen them 16 times at 11 different venues (if you count two stages at a festival separately).

I also love The Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, Scissor Sisters, Twenty One Pilots, Lady Gaga, Ben Folds, Chicago, Lake Street Dive, Queen, Trombone Shorty, and Tide Lines.

@djtoebeans Hello! It's not very often that someone's post lands in my feeds for several different hashtags, so I wanted to say hi. I especially love fantasy, Terry Pratchett and kitties, and share a lot of your other likes and dislikes too. (Peri/menopause is currently the bane of my existence)

And happy belated birthday!

@justelise Hello! And thank you! 🥰

Oof, the brain fog and night hots are definitely getting me lately. So fun! 😬 At least there are good books I can escape into when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep.

@justelise I read ebooks on my Kobo, and in the wee hours I turn the brightness way down. I like that it turns off if I do fall asleep so I don't lose my spot.

I haven't read that one, but I really liked Nettle & Bone. Definitely need to read some more of her books.
