Libraries are good, actually.

I should make it clear that it is a very uncomfortable novel that pushes a lot of buttons. But it's brilliant using those tools!

This is what they've done.

It is always a good time to help the people of Gaza. Please donate if you can.

#TBRuary 20

Hollow Kingdom's been on my TBR for a while, about a zombie apocalypse from a crow's POV.
Keep putting it off cuz I don't want to read about animals getting hurt!

I rec: Someone You Can Build a Nest In by @wiswell.bsky.social & Watership Down if you want your shit completely rocked.

All Shesheshen could do for Homily was be patient with her, and make space for her, and eventually, one day behind her back, eat her mother.

This week’s #SundaySentence is from the delightfully weird and wholesome Someone You Can Build a Nest In by @wiswell.bsky.social

It's great so far! Shesheshen would be right at home.

@caitlinstarling.com Holy heck, Caitlin. I can't handle how good Starving Saints is. The first scene where she's "seduced" into submitting to the Lady is exquisite and gross.

I got my gender by postal service. It was a male-in rebate.
