I just want another season of Ms. Marvel and for the world to not be on fire. Is that so much to ask?

It’s not fair that my phone calls me out for how much screen time I get when 90% of it is reading. #Booksky

"I grew up across the street from a public library, and it was the only place my mom would let me go on my own. It was my second home, and I read everything that I could get." ~ Tracy Chapman Chapman by Nicholas Albrecht #Booksky

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

A different perspective. Always helpful.

I bought books. I will now exist on water and pasta. #BookSky 💙📚

I’m grateful to be part of an accepting, open-minded family - a rarity in the South. But since I’m not pissing off any bigots today, I’ll have to wear one of my protest shirts tomorrow with inflammatory sayings like “equal rights are good” or “women are people, too” and piss off bigots in public.

My mother wrote a book, it took her 40 years because she spent that time raising a family and helping train people who help provide support for people with disabilities to put the person first. aaronsbooks.com/book/9781958...

I write a trans-centric magical girl series that's full of action, feelings, and rock music. They're available in ebook, print, and audiobook formats (read by a trans voice actor). If folks have ever loved a show like Sailor Moon or are just curious about the genre, they'll like 'em! magicariot.com

Great bathroom reading, especially if you want insight into the Artemis toilet woes: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/kiona...

Thank you! My next novel, Mercutio, is out in about a month. The favourite of my books so far, a medieval novel imagining Mercutio's adventures in Faerie before he met Romeo, Umberto Eco meets Susanna Clarke. It's out in ebook and audio everywhere May 7, but print release dates differ by territory.

Buy my book, it has Jewish ballplayers kissing www.amazon.com/Breakout-Yea...

Wrote a book about the Victorian meanings behind the “bad” flowers (hatred, jealousy, declaration of war, etc.) with incredible illustrations from Jill De Haan bookshop.org/p/books/flor...

I wrote a book about *how far away the moon is* and it didn't cross my mind to re-promote it until Erin posted this thread. This is why I am neither rich of successful. Nevertheless: I wrote a kids' book that folds out to 5 feet across to give you an accurate scale model of the solar system!

Can’t say enough about this story. It’s excellent.

Thanks Erin: Here’s my gripping true-life tale of Arctic adventure and imperial folly, avsilable from bookshop.org and the usual suspects:

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

All these trad wife memes telling me that my job in life was to get married and have children but if I had done that would any of you have gotten a book about lamias versus gorgons and a double dicking sex scene? I think not.

When you’re used to outlining with index cards but arthritis has made that impossible #arthritis #autoimmune #writing

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together. zenodot.app

So the Pentagon blew through >$50B in five days of September — "more than the total military budgets of Canada and Mexico combined" — on stuff such as lobster tails and a grand piano … but wants Congress to hand it another $50B to fund Trump's stupid war in Iran? No. Hell no. Absolutely not.

I’m eating protein cereal that was marketed as “tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch”. I think they misspelled “tastes like cinnamon coated cardboard.”

Me: “So if it’s 11:15 but our bodies think it’s only 10:15, then why does it feel like 2?” Husband: “Same reason it’s 2026 but it feels like 1939.”

"You let your cat..." Yes. Whatever the rest of the sentence is, yes. Because I fear them as much as I love them. They are organized. They always watch.

A week after sick season kicked our butts, the time change decided to take a swing. I’m tired, guys.

I’m lucky to be beta reading more of @shoutoutmapes.bsky.social work today. Ester is a master at immersive speculative fiction. It’s hard to believe any of these characters are made up. They feel so real.

The Year After my Sister Died is a #comingofagebook that follows the journey of self-discovery and growth of two teenagers after a fateful event. books2read.com/TheYearAfter...

So I was chatting with a nurse practitioner today and mentioned I was an author with 10 books published so far. She said, “Wow! Usually when someone says they write, they say they’re ‘trying’ to write a book. Having so many books already published is impressive!” Made my day. 😍

Finally read Daughter of No Worlds and seriously why did I wait so long? BRB have to read everything else by @carissabroadbent.bsky.social immediately.

Concentration camps. This is how Anne Frank died, btw.

This kills me because they say money doesn't buy happiness but it makes it a hell of a lot easier to cherish existence when you know the lights will stay on so what the fuck is his problem.
