This is my first semester as a professor and therefore my first semester grading during finals week. Instead of being fueled by the nervous energy of needing to get work turned in, I’m fueled by the nervous energy of wondering if my students are going to get their work turned in. Full circle moment

Always thinking about Mary Oliver

I feel like this could become a meme somehow.

Spent the morning volunteering at the Book Nook for the 40th Anniversary of the Wood Honors College! Such a great little bookstore that does so much work to support our public library ❤️

I’m a firm believer that bookstores and libraries are the backbone of society.

Same here. I read so many cringey romance/fantasy books filled with issues and will give them 3 stars… but will keep reading just to find out what happens.

So little time and so many books.

I’m on my reread of Iron Flame in preparation for starting Onyx Storm and this time around I totally caught the reason why Xaden is so insistent on Violent learning how to tie Tyrrish knots. ❤️

The hardest thing about being a fantasy reader is the longing you have to be a part of the world you’re reading about.

Being a writer in an MFA program means consuming overpriced drinks at a reading your professors give then rushing home to finish drowning one of your characters in a short story due tomorrow for class 🤩 #writer #writing

I love a good hardback but paperbacks are so much more portable and cheaper!

Started a book series. The first one ended on cliff hanger. Realized the second wasn’t out yet. Feeling 😤

Also just a reminder that supporting your local libraries is more important than ever! We need to keep books and information accessible to the public.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

I've been thinking a lot about the ability of art to fuel resistance in these times, especially as a Creative Writing MFA student. This Ursula K. Le Guin quote felt particularly relevant today.

As best you can, ignore him.
