Bookish. Sometimes crass, sometimes snobby, alltimes trying to keep showing up.

Such a brilliant book, and the episode was good, but I would have appreciated a more nuanced Etsy discussion. "I give myself permission, thanks. It's what we white folk do."

I just love Jade to pieces. 🫢 She is heartrending and interesting and funny.

Please promise you'll have a mushroom risotto for dinner to further encapsulate the spooky vibes.

I needed a pen name in undergrad, so I went by Molly Sharp for #MollFlanders and #BeckySharp. I thought it was clever. Very basic. I like Esmerelda Fontaine. Flashy!

Handwritten quote from Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie: "It's the people without the money and the power, who desperately want to live, for those people small things aren't small. What you call no difference is life and death to them."

I finished Ancillary Justice and it's going to be a contender for my favorite book of the year. "They'll ignore anything that doesn't get them what they want. And what they want is anything that can grab." So many prescient quotes. #AncillaryJustice #AnnLeckie #πŸ“šπŸ’™ I sobbed a few times.

You know who was also a young husband and fatherβ€”not to mention ex-Marineβ€”who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?

David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC.

I don't go on FB, but have to have an account bc I live in a small town that only does business on FB. I made the mistake of opening it today. It's just the absolute worst. I'm shellshocked by the casual hatred and fake outrage.

Okay, so My Heart is a Chainsaw will scratch a lot of your itches there, but I found The Only Good Indians super subversive for a horror book, and it's standalone and brilliant. MtI is on my list, but I can't speak to it b/c I've yet to read it.

Side-by-side comparison of segments of a homemade book bracket from 2024 and 2025 showing the Stephen Graham Jones novel My Heart is a Chainsaw competing with his novel Don't Fear the Reaper in 2024 and his The Angel of Indian Lake going up against Growing Up Dead in Texas in 2025.

An image from the app Merlin ID showing a sound wave recording image and providing links to sound clips of the Grey Catbird bird. It's a record of the user's encountering the bird in the wild. There are other links on the app image to claim the bird, learn more, and explore all sounds, including date, time, and location information. This recording was from this morning, June 24, 2025, in West Virginia.

This was my favorite this morning! Such a pretty song. But I couldn't see mine because the trees are too tall and too leafy. Nice problem to have. #birds # WestVirginia

It's about time these weirdos, these national embarrassments, slink back to the shadows and gutters to which they belong.

This has been my favorite chart on StoryGraph the last couple of years. I love that I'm reading a lot of 'dark' books. Really matchy-matchy with the world atm. #πŸ“šπŸ’™ #21BooksSoFar

I pre-ordered and I can't wait. I've been so jealous of everyone reading it early. Excited for you! Excited for me!

We gotta start saying pro-abortion instead of pro-choice. Abortion is a good thing. People's lives are too important to let these asses win the vocabulary war.

A quote from Jade Daniels, a character in The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones. It reads, "maybe I'm your statue, right? I'm the part of you that's persisting, that's passing history on and down, never letting it die."

Just finished The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones. Jade is the very best person to watch grow up. She's also a good reminder of our obligations to those who've fought to make this land a community for all of us. #BookSky #πŸ“šπŸ’™
