My girl Indiana and I wish a Happy Release Day to The Bewitching by @silviamg.bsky.social The Bewitching is a sweeping historical horror story told in three intertwining timelines with a distinctly gothic vibe.

The Devils is a helluva book! My first Joe Abercrombie and I loved it. Laughed more than I thought I would. Loved the found family. #fantasybookrec #booksky #gollancz @gollancz.bsky.social @joeabercrombie.bsky.social #joeabercrombie

Current read is The Fire in the Glass by indie author @jbensonink.bsky.social I love her Raiders of the Arcana series so as I wait for book 3, I’m reading her earlier series. 25% in and really enjoying it. #booksky

I finished The Woman In The Wallpaper by #LoraJones I thoroughly enjoyed this historical fiction novel set in 18th century France at the time of revolution. This edition is from @goldsborobooks.bsky.social

My current read, In the Garden Behind the Moon. A memoir of loss, myth, and magic. @alexkachan.bsky.social wrote this memoir after the loss of her father - her mom died 5 years earlier and she felt untethered. It’s beautifully written and I’ve shed tears reading it. #booksky #memoir #magicandmemory

My Booktok review for When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2EaUMcF/

Best Reads of March.

Ben Wikler is 🔥 and the DNC really messed up by not making him chair. But Wisconsin thanks them for being shortsighted because he is saving our state!

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Lando's leadership of Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back turned out to be a tragically prescient parable for our time. Leaders of institutions: Pay attention! A story in four parts. cc: Paul Weiss, Columbia University bcc: all law firms, universities, and civil society organizations

One hour left Wisco! Get to the polls. Vote!

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

A top vaccine advisor at the FDA was forced to resign on Friday. In his resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks, wrote "truth and transparency are not desired," by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor is a 5⭐️ read. I love a book within a book. Family drama with a side of sci-fi. This story is nuanced and brilliant. @nnedi.bsky.social #deathoftheauthor #booksky

Finished reading Come Fly With Me by #CamilleDiMaio historical fiction set in 1962 centered on two young women becoming Pan Am stewardesses for two very different reasons. Loved it. #comeflywithme #booksky #historicalfiction

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

Happy Release Day to The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne. I loved this gripping mystery thriller that is also a family drama. Great characters and great writing. #booksky #roncurrie #penguingroupputnam #thesavagenobledeathofbabsdionne

Happy Release Day to @sgj.bsky.social Buffalo Hunter Hunter! This is 5⭐️ historical horror story. It’s brilliant and everyone should read it! @sagapressbooks.bsky.social #sagasayscrew #booksky #buffalohunterhunter

I finished the ARC for #TheRavenScholar by Antonia Hodgson. 1st book in a new series & I absolutely loved it release date is April 14. preorder now! Thank you #netgalley & @orbitbooks.bsky.social for my arc. I absolutely devoured this fantasy. Love Pink-Pink, Neema. Benna, Cain, etc. I’m obsessed!

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

My Sunday read: The King’s Messenger by Susanna Kearsley. Historical fiction set in 1613. Thoroughly enjoying this read. #booksky #historicalfiction #thekingsmessenger #susannakearsley @readlandmark.bsky.social

Started Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito this morning. It opens with this fantastic first sentence, “Ensor House sits on a stretch of moorland, all raised brows and double chin, like a clasp-handed banker about to deliver terrible news.” #booksky #virginiafeito #booktoker

February Reads . . .

Starting March with my Fable app Book Club, Read Romance with Dre Reads and Butcher & Blackbird by Brynn Weaver #booksky #fable #butcherandblackbird

Five former US defense secretaries, including Chuck Hagel and Jim Mattis, assail Trump's military firings as reckless and ask members of Congress ‘to do their jobs’ www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Finishing up February with Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse! #blacksun #booksky #fantasybooks

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

The correct answer is “Your Honor, given my professional ethical obligations and my obligations as an officer to the court, I am not in a position to make a representation on behalf of the government in response to that question.”

Maddow tries to shake Jeffries into meeting the moment: "Policy doesn't feel like the main convo…we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled autocratic power grab rendering Congress irrelevant, making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke”: Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGe93bq...

Sadism isn't swagger. It isn't American. It isn't honorable. And contrary to what a whole lot of fatherless boys believe, it sure AF isn't manly. It's sadism.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Finishing up Junie by Erin Crosby Eckstine this morning. Set on a plantation in the antebellum south, Junie is a maid to Violet and believes they are friends. This is a beautifully written coming of age story. #booksky #junie #erincrosbyeckstine

I just finished The Assassination of Fred Hampton. Wake the fuck up America. This was your government in 1969 and this is what Trump and Patel want to return us to. #booksky

Holy shit! The anxiety level was high. S.A. Cosby is an amazing writer. This my second S.A. Cosby novel and it won’t be my last. So good. #booksky #sacosby #blacktopwasteland
