I am happy to report we have made it to yet another Friday. 

10. Did you think our days of being a Cheer fan account were over? They aren’t, lol. Jerry continues to be in videos on the internet that are wonderful and beautiful.

9. Thank you to Brie for blessing my TL with this ridiculous video.

Retweeting this again because it's been 10 hours and I'm still laughing. https://t.co/K5XaXKPZN7

6. Did y’all see that Nalini Singh is coming to Apollycon in 2021. A year seems so far but Apollycon tickets typically sell out fast, so if you are interested, make sure you sign up for their alerts. 

5. Netflix has a new podcast called Brown Love and it is hosted by Dascha Polanco. Have any of y’all watched this?

4. Speaking of podcasts, our friends over at RomBkPod have a great episode this week. Danie chats with Steve from the Browne Pop Culture Library and they dive into Black romance in the archives.

3. Author Alisha Rai had a tweet go viral earlier this week and it made its way all the way to Hoda and Jenna.

I. Swear. To. God. The only thing that could make this circus worthwhile is if my lit-er-al soulmate shows up soon with a bouquet of cake pops (but thank you @hodakotb and @hodaandjenna for being on my side). February has been quite a year huh. #thetodayshow #cakepopgate #wtfishappening

2. Love is Blind on Netflix. What say you Smexy Readers? Are y’all watching this? Should I cancel all plans for the weekend (just kidding, I don’t have any weekend plans) and binge this show?

1.5 Over on the ‘Gram I came across this account that is staging Barbies to recreate covers of Black romance books as part of Black History Month celebration. Her posts are fantastic and wonderful. I hope you will consider checking them out and following her.

1 Yesterday was National Love Your Pet Day and you know I just had to take pictures of Kitty Scarlett. Berkley had a tweet asking for photos of pets with books and I just like to give the people what they want. I had a great time with this photo shoot. Kitty Scarlett did not. But I got some great pictures. I posted them all over social media but just in case you missed them, here are some outtakes.
