I wrote a little opinion in The Main about how the things that make Montreal incredible for artists are the same things that make it possible to be a young weirdo parent. Will the Next Generation of Creatives Be Able to Have Kids? - The Main www.themain.com/articles/cre...

A little late for 2025 reading recaps, but here's mine. A couple of short reading lists from Billy Book News #booksky #litfic billy-1.ghost.io/2025-in-read...

In total awe of George Saunders's imagination. He's dreaming up Vigil, while I'm wandering around replaying arguments in my head. #booksky #litfic #currentlyreading

I'm generally a slow reader but January was an exceptional month for my reading. The highlight was The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. My ma and I read it together and were kept guessing until the end. #litfic #booksky #reading

My first Julian Barnes. Okay I'm in. Helps that the reader sounds like my grandpa. #currentlyreading #booksky #audiobooks

Loving some queer historical fiction in The New Life by Tom Crewe. Also obsessed with the cover design. #litfic #booksky #currentlyreading

I'm finally doing it! The Orchid Thief is canon at this point--high time I dove in. #booksky #currentlyreading #audiobooks

Why do I do this to myself? This left me terrified and resigned. Not a great way to begin 2026. Fascinating, well researched, brilliantly written, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. #currentlyreading #booksky #audiobooks #bobfiction

My 2025 5⭐ reads. #booksky

First book of the year! Liz Moore's God of the Woods was lots of fun. The perfect mystery. More of a potty book than I usually read, but ideal staycation read. #booksky #mystery

I started putting a little blanket over my screen at the end of the work day, signifying the end.

"the everything bagel is the best bagel" -the most outrageous thing said by a man who has clearly never had a proper Montreal bagel @ezraklein.bsky.social

This is fine. It's written like a pile of columns, of course, so it's perhaps a little oversimplified. #booksky #nonfiction

Quite possibly the best book I've read this year. #booksky #litfic #currentlyreading

"How does one finish the sentence, 'It is unfortunate that tens of thousands of children are dead but...'" From One Day, Everyone will Have Always Been Against This" by Omar El Akkad. #booksky #nonfiction #currentlyreading #audiobooks

The Quiet Damage pairs well with some of my recent reads: Filterworld by Kyle Chayka and Doppelganger by Naomi Klein. #currentlyreading #audiobooks #booksky #nonfiction

Love that I can fit Claire Keegan books in the pocket of my house robe. #currentlyreading #booksky #litfic

This book has been super informative for Billy Book Newsletter. I started it as an FU to the algorithm, affirming the importance of human recommendations. Filterworld has reminded me of my original purpose. #currentlyreading #audiobooks #nonfiction What I'm up to : billy-1.ghost.io/about/

My autocorrect finally changed ducked to fucked. Is this AGI?

I love Karl Ove. I recognize that it is weird to love reading about a man cleaning out his tub, but there's something about big crises happening in the background of the day-to-day that really gets me. #currentlyreading #booksky #litfic

Is doyen/doyenne the new hip word? I hadn't heard it at all before November. Now every podcast I'm hearing pops it in.

Any other book weirdos watching the clock for the Booker Prize winner announcement? 30 minutes, baby! #booksky

Hey book friends, I'm reviving my book recs newsletter & would love a few more readers. My recent post was about The Book of Disappearance by Ibtisam Azem. I write mostly about #litfic and #podcasts. I can be a bit snarky, but I'm mostly sincere. #booksky Sign up: billy-1.ghost.io

You should probably read The Book of Disappearance by Ibtisam Azem. It was an intense but necessary start to my reading of Palestine. Here is my recommendation: billy-1.ghost.io/books-help-m... #booksky #litfic

Isaiah Kiner-Falefa has contributed to the Blue Jays team since he came back. He didn't ruin anything for us. He gave us hope. This team gave the Dodgers hell and gave us fans an incredible series. I'm so proud of them.

Here's my October recap #booksky Lots of non-fiction. I've been talking about Being Mortal a lot, especially in shared-decision making conversations with patients advocates. #currentlyreading #nonfiction @thestorygraph.com

I played Mrs Webb in my high school production of Our Town, but barely remember it. Anyone else got Thornton Wilder memories?

#BlueJays still deserve their flowers. What an incredible run. I am so proud of them.

Feeling pretty old today as my friends' kids show off their costumes and I don't get a single reference.

Today I had a nice cry in my car just thinking about the fact that the #BlueJays could take the World Series tomorrow. I call myself a 162-er. I watch ball all year long, I'm up on the off season transactions & I listen to all the podcasts. This is my game. This is my team and it's all happening.

Sportsnet crap out for any other Blue Jays fans in the top of the seventh?

No thank you to baseball halftime shows.

Ernie Clement is already Canada's hero 🩵

Made it to Toronto. Didn't even try to make it inside. Despite the frown, I am jacked to be here (like my new favourite Jay, home plate unit). #BlueJays 1 down!

Grown men showing their beautiful emotions, body diversity and athleticism, so many stories of thinking you're washed and rising back up to have the season of your life--baseball has it all. Let's go #BlueJays

Are we just going to not talk about home plate unit's even bigger friend??? #BlueJays #ALCS

Did the jacked guy behind home plate bring a bigger friend??? #BlueJays #ALCS

My first Erik Larson. So far so good. Oddly enjoying the nostalgia of "this book continues on disk 8" #currentlyreading #nonfiction #audiobooks #booksky

How's the stress level for my #BlueJays pals today?

Get ready, family. I'm about to spew a bunch of cool facts about prostheses. I love Mary Roach! #currentlyreading #booksky

This inspired me to be a better caregiver, one who has slow and careful conversations about my loved one's priorities and fears. #currentlyreading #booksky

Good morning, #BlueJays fans. Take a second to remember what happened last night.

One of my favourite things in the world is watching Aaron Boone get fired up. It's even better when the #BlueJays do it to him.

I saw a blue jay on my porch is morning. Good omen for our sweet #BlueJays

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande has been so helpful as I care for my aging family members. The historical perspective and the science are really comforting. Being a caregiver is really hard, and it's nice to know the science backs me up on that. #currentlyreading #booksky #nonfiction #audiobook

First published in 1956, The King of a Rainy Country is now gorgeously published by McNally Editions. #currentlyreading this lovely bit of queer fiction. #booksky #litfic

I often cannot remember the name of the book I am #currentlyreading? Is this happening to anyone else? #booksky #litfic

The star of this month's show was definitely Glorious Exploits. What a wonderful book. #booksky #litfic

I support this.
