More #RecentReads #RecentReads 2025 has been a tough year with glimmers of joy, creativity, and connection. Here’s to expanding and deepening joy, creativity, and connection in 2026. See you in the New Year! Much love and peace to you! ❤️✌️🎉🍾 Today was a good mail day. Can’t wait to read @travisclau’s latest! FOLLOW THIS BLOOD TO FIND A DEAD THING is coming out January 13, 2026. Are you ready for it? Here are my top ten poetry reads of the year! What were some of your favorite reads of the year? I was so grateful to have had the opportunity to wrap up #SundaySweetChats🍬 in 2025, with a stellar final season of guests. The poems, the discussions, the vulnerability of these poets who have inspired me was so good for my soul. And if you missed any of the third season episodes, check them out at the link in bio! Stay sweet, friends! Thanks for all of your continued support with THE GOD OF LONELINESS (@rebelsatori) in 2025! It is such a special piece of writing to me. It is the first collection in which I felt vulnerable enough to share some deep and vulnerable parts of myself around mental health, sexuality, and more. I appreciate those who’ve bought it, read it, rated it (it’s never too late to drop a rating on Goodreads or elsewhere!). Even if you haven’t read it for whatever reason, thank you for cheering me on as I continued to promote this collection with events, podcast features, and more this past year.
