Karen Read Verdict - NOT Guilty. I believe the jury got this one right. John’s injuries did not appear to be from a vehicle at all.

Be safe out there today, friends.

Three huge cheers to the amazing and wonderful @authorsaraheburr.bsky.social on the release of her latest Trending Topic Mystery! You're gonna love Coco and her crew. Get your copy now! #booksky #cozymystery

Really enjoying my @groundnews.bsky.social subscription. It's really fascinating what's being reported on and by whom. Highly recommend checking it out!

Never done a #giveaway here before. But THE EDINBURGH MURDERS comes out in the UK tomorrow, so why not, eh? One copy for the UK (carbing up for the customs form already) and one copy for the US, since that's where the books are. Comment - eg "Gimme a book" - by Friday to go into the hat.

To writers feeling the weight of the world right now: Your words matter. In times of uncertainty, story becomes sanctuary. What you write can comfort, challenge, escape, or inspire. Your voice is a candle in the dark. Keep writing. The world may be a mess, but you can still create magic.

Look for small ways to make your life easier. I recently moved a trash can into the closet where our laundry machines are and it has been a revolution. No more walking across the apartment with lint or dryer sheets!

Any Wuthering Waves or Genshin Impact fans here? Looking for a less chaotic community to share my love of these kinds of games.

Started my Rosetta Stone journey to learning Japanese. Very excited to see if this old dog can learn some new tricks.

Tomorrow night at 8 Eastern! Come hang with @authorsaraheburr.bsky.social and me as we chat mystery, Maine, and other fun M things with Matt Cost, author of the lights out MAINELY MAYHEM! www.youtube.com/@itsbookisht... #booksky #ItsBookishTime

Swapping the direction of my scroll wheel to hopefully solve this annoying dragging problem I’ve developed. Did my hands shrink? My gaming mouse is too tall for me 😂

I recently learned about the insanity of Silk Road in my podcasts, and now, we've come full circle. My mind is blown. Literally releasing a drug lord who paid for SIX people to be killed. What a great day for America. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Wednesday afternoon! Come get bookish with us for a fascinating chat with author Violet Rose. Good times guaranteed! www.youtube.com/@itsbookisht... #ABookishMoment #ItsBookishTime #booksky @authorsaraheburr.bsky.social @jckenney.bsky.social

I'm in my "Podcasts about the Dark Web" era right now, finding it absolutely fascinating (in a horrifying way) that The Silk Road was able to exist for as long as it did.

I think the Israel Keyes episode of SIGNS OF A PSYCHOPATH is the first time I've heard this killer speak about his crimes. I've watched a lot of serial killers talk about their horrors, but his was next level. The laughter? Absolutely terrifying.

I was looking at teeth-cleaning water additives for dogs on Chewy, and one looked really promising. There were 12,000+ reviews, and 92% of them were five stars. A winner, right? I checked out the one-star reviews (there were 111), and one person mentioned it made their dog's stomach upset. ONE.

The Court of Mystery is a genre-bending historical fantasy cozy mystery. Explore the Realm of Virtues throughout 14 books! www.saraheburr.com/courtofmystery 👑

PINK PONY CLUB, IMMA KEEP ON DANCING 🎶

I wrote over 1000 words today for the first time since mid-October. I still feel like I'm dragging my feet a bit, but at least I'm moving in the right direction. I very much wish for that joyful spark to return.

Sitting down to write and feeling more energized than I have in weeks -- I finally figured out what was holding me back with my mystery, and I *think* I can solve it today. #writingcommunity #amwriting

I need my Bluesky newsfeed to get with the program. All I'm seeing now are screenshots of tweets from the app formerly known as Twitter.

📕NEW EPISODE📕 Let's get bookish! Tonight on 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒓, we're joined by mystery author Shelley Burbank to chat about her Olivia Lively Mysteries--her most recent being NIGHT MOVES. We go live at 8 PM ET on YouTube -- join us for fun! 📺 www.youtube.com/live/EhjqMAJ...

“Signs of a Psychopath” is such a horrifyingly bingeable series. I can’t stop 👀

Watching Pete Buttigieg speak at this Harvard event is what I needed today.

Come have some bookish fun and forget your worries — at least for 30 minutes! We’re going live with romance author Liz Flaherty on YouTube at 4:30 PM ET. www.youtube.com/live/nllc68D...

Are we back here now? I can’t keep up!

“Atmospheric, suspenseful, and quirky! The Framed Women of Ardemore House is a captivating, crafty tale that takes us into the life of neurodivergent Jo Jones” Review of: FRAMED WOMEN OF ARDEMORE HOUSE #mystery #cozy #autism 🩸♿️📚 whatsbetterthanbooks.com/bookreview-f...

I had a blast chatting with @bschillace.brandyschillace.com on “A Bookish Moment” about her fabulous new release, THE FRAMED WOMEN OF ARDEMORE HOUSE. Such a fun, cozy read.

I managed to write 1300 words today even though my brain is not really "in" my manuscript at the moment. Hoping things settle down (but expecting they won't, LOL)

I don't have a Spotify wrapped, but I can proudly say that I've listened to EVERY SINGLE Dateline podcast available on Apple Podcasts (and I did it in less than six months). Hi, I'm a mystery writer, and I have a problem!
