Daisy Edgar-Jones Starring in β€˜Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’ Movie Adaptation at Paramount (EXCLUSIVE) 'Normal People' and 'Twisters' star Daisy Edgar-Jones will headline adaptation of 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.'

Excited that Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is going to be made into a movie. Loved this book so much. Fingers crossed they do a good adaptation.

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

I lost 30 pounds during the 6 months my mom was dying. Men (and a few women) who KNEW what was going on, still made a point of congratulating & complimenting me, as if it was a "silver lining" to the emotional & physical pain I was going through. Sickening and deeply wrong.

Wow. What a thing to come home to after my half-day volunteering with hospice. This guy's desire to eliminate the hassle of grieving, is such a tell on his own immaturity and selfishness.

Without grief there is no love.

Without both there is no humanity.

Grief isn’t abnormal, it’s one of the most basic shared aspects of humanity. To try to β€œcure” for it removes all that binds us, offers cheap substitution & renders relationships & death insignificant -
a dangerous path that leads to dulled empathy & further lack of value for individual lives

I tried to tell y'all that Grammarly was cursed. I see the echo of every "but what if you can't afford an editor" conversation I had five to eight years ago in every defense of soulless slop now. These fuckers really were the thin end of the wedge, and they're worse now than ever.

As she processes each month, she slowly gains new perspective on their past relationship, and also how she can move forward without him. The portrayal of loss & grief is very well done, as is the realization she will be able to live, dream, & love again. Tender, healing, found family, and BOOKS! πŸ“š πŸ’™

Was instantly drawn to the cover of This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page, and the story clinched it. A woman receives an unexpected call 5 months after the death of the man she loved. He's left a book, and a letter, for her to read at the local bookstore, one each month for the next year.

Dear friends with cats, please share any tips for helping 2 older cats (5 and 8) meet each other. I'm doing the basics, and they are up to being in the same room looking at each other for short periods of time. Thanks!

Call your reps about this. Every time a book ban has been overturned or shut down, it's because the vast majority of people who believe in the freedom to read spoke up.

If y’all could report @authorfisherbooks.bsky.social, that is not me, that is a scammer attempting to relieve people of funds, probably by selling book services.
