Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

IZA'S BALLAD by Magda Szabo. I've read everything else of hers that is available through @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social. This one is hitting home for me. #FridayReads

AltYello is a grifter and not a part of Altgov. Here he is soliciting money as though he were an actual scientist.

Reminder:
If you see this link in a post from alt(anyone), they are NOT #AltGov.
We do not ever ask you, the people we serve, for money.

Cover of the softcover UK edition of "The Appeal" by Janice Hallett.  Tagline: "One murder. Fifteen suspects. Can you uncover the truth?" Sunday Times bestseller. Reviews say "Dazzlingly clever" and "A daring debut." Black and white pen-and-ink-style drawing of an English village with random red blood spatters on the edges.

#FridayReads Just started The Appeal by Janice Hallett. I read two of hers last year and really enjoyed them.
