ahh what incredible company to be in, thank you!

Book cover: Division Bells, by Iona Datt Sharma - an aesthetic-grid cover, with a violin, wine glass, collection of papers, tulips, image of Westminster over the Thames.

Book cover: Blood Sweat Glitter by Iona Datt Sharma, a roller derby romance! A bright pink, cartoon-y, adorable cover with two girls skating furiously on the front

So I wrote two books. both are set in London, in winter, in 2021. One is an alternate future history, a sparse love story where a spad and civil servant work on Brexit together and fall unwillingly in love; the other is a sports anime, a post-pandemic f/f romance. here they both are:

I do not need to be considered for this because I have already preordered 😌 but FOR THE RECORD favorite character status has ping-ponged relentlessly for me between Masar and Chono since book 1, and book 3 is not helping

three days left to nominate material for the Otherwise Award! hit us with your best shot 🙏

So excited for the fifth iteration of the @farbindungen.bsky.social conference! Accepting paper proposals from graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and early career professionals!

do I think M.T. Anderson's 'Nicked' feels like a Decemberists song because of its actual qualities [good!] or because of free-associating from Anderson's previous extremely good nonfic about the Siege of Leningrad, which is unrelatedly the subject of an extremely good Decemberists song

she was so right. runaway star of the show

a;sdkfjd yes we had the same experience. what could POSSIBLY happen after all that -- oh, this snake flirtation shenanigans extra?? well, we're not mad about it!!

Tonight I will be re-signing New Yorkers' extension on being insufferable. You've earned it. Tonight we are all walking here.

We're about to finish this one tonight! enjoying it very much, agree about the balance of comedy/action/melodrama

damn you really did achieve hero tier

[me to my cheering war generals] based on my 100% understanding of Richard Burton's run in Hamlet (1964) I think our success depends on a ready supply of emergency capes

although if you believe knowledge is power your approximate knowledge of 29 more things than me might give you the edge

wow as a strict one book at a time reader i'm starting a holy war immediately

i know that they are at the heart of it no matter what

spiritually I think it is, now

the papparazzi are always watching

FOUND: Extremely Creepy Masks Hidden in a Boston Subway Station While renovating the Government Center subway station in Boston, construction workers came across a hollow section of concrete, the Boston Globe reports....

yesterday was the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the rediscovery of these BEAUTIFUL TRASH WIZARDS that secretly haunted the Government Center T station for SIXTY YEARS. and I hope you all take a moment this week to reflect on this important occasion.

two things that reminded me a bit of each other in their detailed explorations of our-world-if, with an eye both to the big and systematic and the intensely personal: Silvia Park's 'Luminous' (If ubiquitous humanoid robots) and Deena Mohamed's 'Shubeik Lubeik' (If ubiquitous magical wishes)

made the mistake of finishing Silvia Park's 'Luminous' on my lunch break and now I'm going to have an emotional hangover for the rest of the work day [laudatory]

I'm like, this got SO close to this being a coherent metaphor about how you don't owe it to your fans/the public/the world to be a Perfect Idol all the time. but maybe actually you do??

i'm concerned about this but tbh I'm even MORE concerned about the film ending on a cheerful beat of Pop Stars Don't Need To Have Vacations

You can pre-order a print edition of Jade Yeo with a glorious new cover now! Check out the link for details ⬇️

it IS the funniest Heyer and has the best kind of Heyer heroine, 'normal woman who is joyously aware that everything that is happening in the plot is extremely silly and has brought popcorn'

aside from The Obvious, Heyer's Talisman Ring and any of the Hilary Tamars are always guaranteed to make me laugh

I KNOW EXACTLY THE TWO THINGS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN all i need to do is make sure they just take no more than a chapter each ... easy peasy ........

thank you very much for the kind words!! 💖

(no guarantee this WIP will ever see the light of day, but I hope so! 🙏)

Uh Oh

I believe I'm two chapters from the end of my wip .... very exciting ....... unfortunately all along my carrot has been 'I'm excited to get to the next big argument' and now I'm out of arguments. what do you mean they have to 'reconcile'
