HEY AUTHOR FRIENDS!!! Have you got a bunch of author copies sitting around? Would you like to get them OUT OF YOUR HOUSE? We are looking for authors with 5 - 10 copies of a book they'd like to sign and send to some lucky winner, and help raise money for voting rights!

Still mostly reading fanfic right now but audiobooks relistens of post-changeling and Kate Daniels are also fabulous.

Hear ye! Hear ye!! A girl is pleased to announce that HULU has picked up the option for our beloved Blessings series. Our writer, the very talented Sonay Hoffman will now begin creating the pilot's script. More details to come.

It is really so wild how much better I feel when we are getting regular sunshine. I think I’m doing okay, but I’m only just getting by until the spring sun hits again!

First movie at the theater of the year: The Mandalorian and Grogu … if you loved the show you will enjoy the movie. Love that little guy and Pascal is good too.

since I accidentally helped kick off this horrifying realization for so many, please let me pass along a link where you can yell about it.

HR 2616, a National “Don’t Say Trans” Bill, Passed the House. Here’s What It Is and What You Can Do. The House of Representatives–with eight democrats crossing over–passed bill HR 2616, a federal "don't say trans" bill that would harm kids and create mass censorship. bookriot.com/hr-2616-dont...

🚨🌈 CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT🌈🚨 Hello fellow queers and otherwise-oriented dears, pride month is drawing near! We invite you to come and hear a collection of songs to delight your ears. Kinsey Scales performs Sat the 13th of June at Medford Public Library at Noon. We'd love to share with you our tunes.

I absolutely loved her romantic suspense novels and I’m so sorry to hear this news. Heartbreaking

good morning, I am dying, this has killed me

Got my official heated rivalry merch! Since I live in Rochester I opted for our own’s Scott Hunter’s team shirt:

Finally visited my local romance bookstore @burnbrightbookshop.bsky.social , as I was showing off all the cool Rochester corners to my old Rombkpod partner Sarah. Came home with cool stickers and two @miasosaromance.bsky.social books I beta read but I didn’t have in print!

If your favorite couple is Arwen and Aragorn then lemme introduce you to age-gap romance.

LOTS going on with the NY Freedom to Read Act. Something needed right now from *librarians and educators who work in NYS only*. Can you fill out this survey for @nyclu.org and share it with other NYS librarians/educators? Sent it to each other please! x5h4gde8rss.typeform.com/to/cRdPf2Gp

UPDATE: Schuler Books just expanded my Partner Author page to include the Mystic Bayou titles AND the Sorcery & Society titles. So if you have ever want those signed, here’s your chance! @schulerbooks.bsky.social

Splurged on a few bookish things today & while they are objectively pricey, I would have not hesitated if my spouse or kids had asked for it so I gave myself permission to just buy the things. So now I’m looking forward to the AH2 Historical trailblazers box set & Luisa Preissler’s art prints.

I need DoorDash but for bringing me things from my kitchen to my bed. Yes I’m sick. Ugh.

Hopefully this is the last time asking for help for a minute.

Kate Clayborn is one of my break-glass-in-case-of-emergency authors. Her beautifully written, funny but deeply angsty books just click for me. Simply fantastic romance about two deeply hurting people who are really good at not letting people see their hurts. So many searing scenes!

Some news! Beyond delighted to be on a list with these names. Congratulations to all the finalists!

Very awkward to celebrate library workers when you're cutting public library budgets so I guess we'll just pretend that #NationalLibraryWeek isn't happening.

Hey, #Romancelandia, today is National Librarian Day in the U.S. Can we show some love to Julia (former library assistant) and help her finishing raising what she needs? Every little bit counts (as does sharing her post 👇🏽) Thank you!

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

Made 3.5 inches of progress on my vest and hung out with lots of cool folks

There are certainly good reasons for every step in the crew recovery process but at this point it feels like they’re just putting the astronauts through as many of the most dramatic methods of transportation they can think of in one day

If you're wondering how much money banned authors make for their books being banned, the answer according to my royalty statement this time was $50. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Good news! Genocide rescheduled because somebody was smart enough to call and talk to Trump the way he likes. Now our politicians will immediately pretend it never happened and in two weeks, they’ll be astounded again.

I am not surprised by any of the kind of … poignancy a lot of people are finding in the Artemis II story. To me, it’s like talking to someone you love who you almost never get to see anymore. This is the kind of story I miss when every day makes me despair. How many more will we have?

watch a video i'm in with my a capella group!

Revisiting this thread after I had to reassure a housemate that Ohio had not banned presenting as trans in public. Promoters of panic slop are at best making people despair and at worst ruining lives.

Good morning everyone today is MOON DAY 🚀🌖🥰 #Artemis

If you feel the author you follow does too much self promo may I suggest you unfollow? The rest of us are here being like "what do you mean you have a new book next month, I HAVE BEEN WAITING". Authors, never stop. We love you but are distractable, forgetful & live in a variety of time zones. ❤️📚

Watched “How Green was my Valley” tonight and omg 19 year old me could roll with so much more tragedy than 49 yr old me! This used to be my favorite book and now I’m scrolling around looking for fix-it fics for Angharad Morgan/Mr. Gruffydd…

Lainey almost derailed her life in her teens, trying to find out who killed her father, got roped into being a sidekick to a toxic video podcasting teen investigator. A dozen of years later she is lured by the promise of a big paycheck to reunite for one more cold case investigation. Love it!

AO3 is doing it well: archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/...

The SCOTUS decision is both really bad and doesn’t do anything immediately anywhere but creates a framework for the future attempts at dismantling this protection. I realize saying “despair only a reasonable amount” is garbage but this is actually do not comply in advance territory

I have a very odd, very specific question that googling isn't really helping answer easily. In terms of the passage of time and assuming pre-industrial society, how long does it take from Step 1: Sheep is shorn to Step 47: I am wearing the weaved scarf. I cannot find a time frame estimate. +

Book is out today! Can’t wait for others to be obsessed like I am!

I have $75 left and a medical test tomorrow morning. I can’t afford the rideshare to get there and back. I'd probably get dinged with a cancellation fee if I changed it now. If anyone can help me cover the ride, I’d really appreciate it.

Weirdest moment of the day: hanging with a friend who just watched Project Hail Mary, which reminded me I wanted to read it. Not on hoopla, check Libby…only available in Spanish, out of credits on audible…decide to check Spotify…a free 5 sample pops up…

ICYMI this weekend, ROSES & STONE is up on NetGalley!

Relistening to an ALC for the 3rd time and but this is an updated/new file from the one I had for my first listens and I’m noticing changes that I have no way to confirm. Did I simply not notice this earlier or is it part if why a new file was released??
