It’s Be Extra Nice to Retail Workers Weekend through the end of the year! Don’t be a dick. Don’t you do it. Retail workers: pace yourself. Eat snacks. Stay hydrated. You are entitled to your breaks. I see you, sweetie. You’re doing great.

So…same as 2023. And 2022.

Just so we’re clear, next year you should continue to read whatever the fuck you want.

Overheard at the library— Dad, to 7-year-oldish child looking at book about sharks: You want shark attacks? No, there won’t be photos of shark attacks.

2024’s reading challenge is to read whatever you want.

The tech sector just keeps trying to invent the library.

I'm delighted to start off 2024 with some super exciting news: I am now represented by Rose Ferrao at P.S. Literary Agency! Her enthusiasm and vision for my book echoed all of my writing dreams, I cannot WAIT to embark on the next steps of this journey with her. 💫💖

Congrats! What a great start to the new year! I can’t wait to read it!

First read of the year: WHERE THE DEAD WAIT by Ally Wilkes. Heart of Darkness meets The Shining (on a boat) with gay angst amped up to 11. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As always, thanks to NowhereBookshop for the great #nightmaresfromnowhere selection.

I woke up in a good mood, so my dog gets a bunch of treats. (That said, when I wake up in a bad mood, my dog also gets a bunch of treats.)

Austin, Texas! It’s your dad here telling you that this weekend is a really good time to wash all of your blankets! If you need them next week, better that they aren’t all musty from being in a closet for our 11.5 months of not real winter.

babe wake up new bora chung + anton hur just dropped!!!

This story, this book, this team is so good. Preorder YOUR UTOPIA, then read “A Song for Sleep” YES IN THAT ORDER.

I love space operas, but they are populated entirely by abled people. It’s like the disabled don’t get to inherit a future. It’s frustrating. If you have recs for space operas that have disabled people in them, I’d love to read them!!!

Once again, Molly Odintz is correct. If you want to get your heart cracked open, preorder ORDINARY HUMAN FAILINGS by Megan Nolan

Since I am getting multiple pro-Russia and pro-Israel “news” in my feed daily, I am logging off. Love to everyone my mutuals and to those I wish were my mutuals. I hope to follow you on other socmed platforms. Take care of each other.
