17.04.2025 19:13 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If you're looking for an excellent fecking book to read, I'd highly recommend Holly J Wilson's KITTENTITS. I can't possibly say enough good things about it.
No spoilers, but it may not be for the faint of heart. Definitely the best book I've read in a good long while.
KITTENTITS is out in paperback today! If you havenโt picked up @hollywilson.bsky.social's weird and wonderful debut, now is a great time. Molly is one of the most memorable young female characters Iโve ever met, and I just LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
(Also pictured: our family's 3rd cat, Buttercup)
Today's pick: a book by my dear friend and brilliant pop-culture expert, Brian Raftery (@brianraftery.bsky.social). Trust me, I KNOW pop culture and he puts me to shame! (In an enjoyable way.)

I was having too much fun to post, but the gathering of Pinckley Prize winners at this year's Tennessee Williams Festival was very, very special. Pinckley -- everyone called her that -- loved crime fiction and after her death in 2012, a prize was set up.

The ribbons are made of folded up pages from our books, which is SUCH a cool homage to our work. Thank you Ashley, the Pinckley Prize organizers, and TWLF for a lovely time in N.O.!
