Happy New Year, again! And here are my favorite fiction reads of 2025. What were yours? 💙📚

Happy New Year, friends. Here are my favorite nonfiction reads of 2025. What were yours? 💙📚

Okay FIFA. I’m out.

SPL shared preliminary results of the 2025 patron survey, which included non-users. 98% said that the library improves overall quality of life in Seattle. NINETY-EIGHT PERCENT. What else could 98% of Seattleites agree on? Baby goats? The Mariners? I doubt it. 98% approval is wild. Fund libraries.

Flamed out once again but I still adore them.

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

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. 💙📚

Two national finals in four years. Pretty amazing.

Spokane Is Reading announced author Tananarive Due and her novel, The Reformatory, for this year’s community-wide reading event! Spokane Is Reading will host two appearances with @tananarivedue.bsky.social on Thursday, Oct. 23. @spokanecolibrary.bsky.social www.spokanelibrary.org/spokane-is-r...

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.” 💙📚

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

So: general strike?

Seattle, WA showing up! Thank you!!! #CourageIsContagious #FiftyFiftyOne
