If you got AI to write your book you didn’t write your book. Stephen King wrote your book. Octavia Butler wrote your book. Jilly Cooper wrote your book. Dav Pilkey wrote your book. Lisa Jewell wrote your book. I wrote your book. Every author whose work has been digitised wrote your book. You did not

5 stars to The Country Will Bring Us No Peace by Matthieu Simard Took me barely 2 hours to read this, but it'll be living rent-free in my mind for a long time. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

My seasonal reading disorder has been crazy this year. I'd started to think it would never happen, but today my reader brain finally made the switch out of its winter thrillers-and-horror mode and into its summer scifi-and-classics mode. Sun's out - gimme robots and aliens and dense prose! 💙📚

2 stars to The Whistling by Rebecca Netley I had high hopes for this one, but overall I found it weak. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

What this whole Granta AI scandal proves to me is that way too many people think, "I can't understand this, therefore it must be deep." No, sometimes it's just nonsense. Stop trying to convince us the naked emperor is well dressed!

3 stars to The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix I always enjoy Hendrix's writing, but this was overall a so-so read for me. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

4 stars to Five by Ilona Bannister One of my most anticipated books of the year, and it mostly lived up to my expectations. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

I'm old enough to remember when COVID was classed as a low risk to the public. Then a relatively low risk. Then a high risk only to people who had been to China. Then maybe a bit of a risk to the public, but totally contained. Then oops, maybe not quite contained... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea1k...

Awesome, good for them! The separatists never seemed to spare one single thought for how separation would affect First Nations treaties.

5 stars to We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer I really really really enjoyed this. And I'm proud to say I caught onto the Morse code right away. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

5 stars to Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin Wow. This book is 60 years old, but the hype is still real. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

4 stars to 21 Things You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government by Bob Joseph A really important read for all Canadians as we move forward with reconciliation. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #DismantleTheIndianAct

I suspect that the Powers That Be looooove AI because it disengages your brain and softens your thinking. Your free thought, your imagination, gets unplugged and into the socket, the AI node goes. And they control that node. Which means they control your mind. So: they start with kids.

4 stars to The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike The novel that inspired the Mike Flanagan series (which I loved and is highly underrated). Read it in a day from one midnight to the next, in true Midnight Club spirit. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

3 stars to Molka by Monika Kim This horror novel has great moments, but it was extremely uncomfortable for me, and not in the fun way. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

We love you too, Buffalo. 🥰🍁🦬

5 stars to I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid I searched high and low for a book that would break me out of my emerging reading slump, keep me turning pages, and give me that 5-star feeling. Found it! 🥰 GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

I haven't had a 5-star read in over a month, and I don't know what to dooooo. Everything I touch loses a star, idk.. 😭 #booksky

3 stars to As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #3) I always love Jackson's writing, but I understand now why so many fans were outraged by the ending of this series. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

4 stars to Come Closer by Sara Gran This was actually stressful. 😅 And really clever. And kind of hilarious? But mostly stressful. www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky

I opened my very own little free library this weekend! Word got out today among the neighbourhood kids that there were stickers in there, and lots of them came by. They were all respectful, just took one or two they liked, but a couple kids left trinkets in exchange, one even homemade. 🥰 #booksky

Read #42 of 2026: 4 stars to These Familiar Walls by C.J. Dotson I really enjoyed going for the ride with this haunted house story, but I had a couple of quibbles. GR review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #netgalley #stmartinspress

Canada Reads Day Three SPOILERS The first 3 eliminations happened in a very different order than I expected, but I'm not surprised at all by the final 2. I've felt all along that The Cure for Drowning would win, and it's looking like a safe bet. #CanadaReads #CanLit www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJC...
