Enjoying Happy Hour at the same oyster bar (Coterie) that @suleikhasnyder.bsky.social and I found in the French Quarter in New Orleans 4 years ago.

The front page Hachette Book Group website, which just announced it will publish Sam Alito's book this fall, is all about condemning bans on kids' books that discuss LGBTQ identity—the same books that Alito's majority opinion in Mahmoud v Taylor is scrubbing from classrooms across the country

They have a Cafe du Monde in the airport in #NOLA. That is going to be very dangerous when I leave on Friday.

A giveaway! 🦋 bit.ly/4a01PWM

Today I learned Noem's full name is Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem Her initials are KLAN Fitting

Hey, everyone, the president is very sensitive about his long relationship with his best friend Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious pedophile, so please don't post about it or send those stories to your friends and family

On an Octopus/Kraken kick (+ more new listings today!) Hoping some of the new listings find a home. It's been a very quiet couple of weeks at the shop & other freelance work canceled. If you're looking for a fun-spooky-cute Valentine gift, check out our little gothic corner! torchandarrow.etsy.com

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

18 million per week. That’s what we are collectively paying to hunt and kill people in Minnesota. I never wanna hear that we can’t afford to take care of our fellow Americans ever again. Healthcare. Education. Infrastructure. We can afford it all. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Let's begin with Kellye Garrett. MISSING WHITE WOMAN is one of the few mysteries that's stuck with me over the past few years. Kellye's got a lock on her themes and an incredible command of language. If you haven't read this; change that. bookshop.org/p/books/miss...

My January reading round-up is done! There are so many books coming out this year that I'm excited about, but I am not intentionally setting out to beat last year's total of 220 titles read. Let's just see what happens. 😂 www.suleikhasnyder.com/2026/02/on-s...

The Kennedy Center has been in continuous operation for 55 years. Trump and Ric Grenell destroyed it in one year by making it so toxic that nobody will perform there. Now they have to shut it down like a Trump casino.

In other words, bookings are down and acts are canceling since Trump took office.

The only version of Wuthering Heights I acknowledge is Layne Fargo's The Favorites, where Heathcliff and Cathy are ice dancers.

Favorite review: “It is the most terrifying horror movie I have seen since Eraserhead. The tension! Will the table setting be symmetrical? If the fork is out of alignment, will the simulation crash?”

Watching #GlitterandGold on @netflix.com. Ice Dancing is my favorite discipline in figure skating. I still want someone to write a cold war thriller with ice dancing skater spies.

Night crowd! Now is the LAST CHANCE to enter to win an incredible number of cool #Romancelandia prizes via ROMANCE FOR MN! I'm offering my found-family slow-burn romance historical paranormal SPECTRAL CITY trilogy + MISS VIOLET & THE GREAT WAR (historical fantasy w/ Ace-spec heroine/hero) Details:

“I was raped three times a day and I wasn’t the only girl. It was a conveyor belt of abuse.” #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

It's nice that Trina is mentioning Taggert, but girlfriend kicked him to the curb quick, when she found out he wasn't her biological father. #GH

Unpopular opinion: I don't hate Nathan and Lulu. They are both single, they were both dead/in a coma for years, and they are both good-looking people. #GH

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Coffee and #GH: Carly disliking Valentin because he kept Charlotte from Lulu is hilarious since she kept Michael from AJ for years.

If you haven't seen this, please revel in how much fun she's having. RIP, empress of comedy.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this novel. #romancelandia

Dear #GH: It's unrealistic that no one, not Spinelli or the WSB, is curious about where Nathan West has been the past 7 years. Nor do they find it odd that two of Faison's kids came back from the dead. Instead, everyone is like 'Yay, Nathan is back,' *throws confetti*

Oh, sweet Molly, a book tour? Good luck with that! I know a lot of authors who've had to put together their own book tour because their publisher did nada for them.

Coffee and #GH: I'm totally in on a Danny/Charlotte teen romance.

@hallierubenhold.bsky.social Congratulations on your Agatha nomination!

NYC Book Folks! Join us 2/7 for the first @bklynbooksbooze.bsky.social Book Fair! Check out the amazing lineup! I'll be there with my award-winning fiction AND critically acclaimed non-fiction! Psyched to sign copies of AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC & tell you a ghost story! 🖤👻 More info below:

Book folks! As you look ahead to March, Women's History Month, this is a great book to pick up! We examine the real lives of women who are part of famous ghost lore and ask the question: how do we *talk* about women, alive and dead? Want me to join you for a talk or a book club? Reach out! 🖤

Coffee and #GH: Thank god, that Peter August is just a figment of Anna's imagination. I was worried that all three of Faison's children would turn up alive.

No one asked for this! www.soapoperadigest.com/content/gene...

Why? Because we all could use a laugh.

My sense is that Nicola Peltz-Beckham was more upset that Marc Anthony called VB "the most beautiful woman in the room" than she was over the mother/son dance.

Chase is insufferable. That's it, that's the tweet. #GH

Coffee and #GH: So is Willow going to go all Kathy Bates in Misery on Drew?

Please, pretty please, do not ever cast Chris Pratt as The Punisher. I don't care if it's his dream role.

Delroy Lindo has been Oscars nominated for the first time ever for his performance in 'Sinners'

Chase, my sweet summer child. Willow and Nelle may not have been raised together, but they are definitely sisters. Have you forgotten all the crap Nelle pulled? Or that their grandmother tried to steal all of Nina's money? Or that Nina stole Ava's baby and then lied to Sonny repeatedly? #GH

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC: HAUNTED HISTORY STRANGER THAN FICTION is the culmination of everything I've done in my Gothic fiction, in my work as a ghost tour guide, & as an actress in Gothic stage drama. A dream come true, a book of the heart encompassing all I hold dear: bookshop.org/p/books/amer...

This is the fight they should have had when Chase discovered that Michael and Willow were having an affair. #GH
