Flamed out once again but I still adore them.

Cover images of the books I read in September: Small Rain by Garth Greenwell How to Love Your Daughter by Hila Blum Orbital by Samantha Harvey A Truce That Is Not Peace by Miriam Toews Hip Hop Is History by Questlove Culpability by Bruce Holsinger Heart the Lover by Lily King

My September reads, summarized in StoryGraph. Another excellent month of reading and listening to books. Loved Small Rain and Heart the Lover the most. 💙📚

Got mine today with my new tie dye Salmon Bay shirt! Thank you!

Fortunate to have an excellent one within easy walking/stumbling distance of my house. And karaoke!

Whoops. Sorry for the typo!

A terrific novel I recently read that was engrossing and made me laugh and was You Are Here by David Nicholls. Have you read it? I think you might enjoy it. Excellent on audio.

Book covers of my August 2025 reads: The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami; Songs for Other People’s Weddings by David Levithan and Jens Lekman; James by Percival Everett; You Are Here by David Nicholls; You Wanna Be on Top by Sarah Hartshorne; The Corrospondent by Virginia Evans; Tonight in Jungleland by Peter Ames Carlin; and Loved One by Aisha Muharrar.

Inspired by @nelnelnellie.bsky.social to share my August 2025 reads, as recorded in StoryGraph. What a satisfying month of reading. I loved several of these. 💙📚

Oh wow. Same. Maybe I should try listening again!

He’s the best. 💚

Two national finals in four years. Pretty amazing.

Just read your latest newsletter and want to let you know I appreciate it. I’m feeling much the same way about the state of things, which you articulated well. Also looking forward to reading Notes on an Execution thanks to your suggestion. Here’s hoping for a Goofy-Ass Fall.

A library patron turned me on to Chop Shop last year. We had the DVD on the shelf but I was unfamiliar with the movie. What a gift. Loved it.

Would love to see Jordan start tomorrow

We’re four episodes in and loving it. Started it yesterday based on your suggestion. Thanks!

Loved THE GOLDEN HOUR, the new memoir by @specktor.bsky.social

“Power? Power is just the crude manipulation of other people to selfish, stupid, or violent ends, but the illusion of power is greater yet, because dream is stronger than reality, and fear, like love, is stronger even than death.”

We bought a beautiful stone bird bath at Skye Nursery. It was not cheap but it has been worth it. It’s beautiful and draws so many birds to our yard.

If you ever find me with $3000 in cash on me it's because I'm going to the bookstore

💖 enormous love for this

Thank you! Just followed @csittenfeld.bsky.social because of your post. Reading Show Don’t Tell right now and loving it.

So: general strike?

Just finished this terrific novel this morning! I will admit I had to look up a number of words while reading it, including mondegreen.

This makes me so angry. I’m very sorry.

There was shouting in our household when it happened.

Seattle, WA showing up! Thank you!!!
