Psychopomp and Circumstance by @edenroyce.bsky.social would pair with a sweeter stout. Maybe something vanilla ish. And maybe not rum barrelled, depending on how you read the story. Even if that's my favorite kind of stout.

Man Changes Names and Dates on Captain Marvel Posts to Shit on Upcoming Supergirl Movie hard-drive.net/man-changes-...

The Summer of Beer and Whiskey by Edward Achorn would go with some St. Louis based Americanized German style beer. (Did budweiser do a pre prohibition style lager when those were popular?)

Pair Ordinary Monsters by JM Miro with a barleywine to maximize the books's atmospheric atmosphere.

PREORDER LUCKY DAY. OUT NEXT WEEK us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Happy Octavia's Birthday to all who celebrate! For me there's so much sweetness in Mamatavia's memory.

Pairing chicano frankenstein by @danielolivas.bsky.social with a negra modelo isn't creative, but it works. They're both quaffable, solid, and fill a lot of boxes for what I want in a book and beer. Also a character drinks one in the book.

The season for Pride is here and several of our local breweries are supporting and celebrating Pride the best way they know how. by making beer. Here's a list of what I've found so far. Let me know what I've washingtonbeerblog.com/local-brewer...

The literary giant Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (and one of my favorite authors) has passed. 😔 Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece. He has many greats. I'm glad I got to meet him a few times (I always encouraged him to write a science fiction novel...he said he'd consider it).

Comic book legend Peter David passes away at 68 RIP Peter David.

An oldie but a goodie, one of the first #Murderbot fan art pieces I ever made! A faux pulp novel cover with our favorite construct. Congrats @marthawells.com on the fantastic series debut! Loved every minute of it and cannot wait for more episodes. (I will bide my time between eps by drawing more!)

Did you know DC Books to Prisons supports multiple book clubs behind bars! A donor is matching purchases from our Politics and Prose or bookshop.org wishlists found here- linktr.ee/dcbtp for only two more days! Help us out and support an independent bookstore at the same time! #BooksToPeopleInPrison

Made it through most of Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social using a card as a bookmark before I noticed it was very appropriate. Or inappropriate - not sure since I've still got 100 pages.

last year @nobordersbooks.bsky.social sent 600+ books to Rikers; this year our book drive is for teens who are incarcerated in Brooklyn. please purchase a book if you can—most of these are requested titles, and a $7 Goosebumps book would mean A LOT to a kid in detention bookshop.org/wishlists/70...

Starting Sour Cherry by @nassos.bsky.social and it would presumably go with a nice kriek.

It’s Day 2 of the Trans Rights Readathon and I’m (re)sharing some of my favorite Scifi, Fantasy, and Horror books with Trans MC’s. Drop your favorite book with a Trans MC below!! #booksky

Starting #TransRightsReadathon with Bad Dream: a Dreamer Story by @nicolemainessource.bsky.social and @ryehickman.bsky.social

The cover for my Southern Gothic novella PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE is here! Predatory morticians, Gullah funeral traditions & a city where your family is defined by how they care for their dead. Art: Greg Ruth, design: Christine Foltzer Pre-order: torpublishinggroup.com/psychopomp-c... #booksky

Horrified Woman Swears Off Ambien After Seeing Number Of Library Books She Reserved Last Night

A Friday reminder that having your book banned doesn't sell books. Only THE MOST banned books see support, and I assure you all those creators would prefer their books were NOT banned instead. There's no silver lining. It's just the knowledge that ppl hate you! Ok have a good weekend

Kentaro Miura's Berserk would go with whatever is the darkest thickest stout in the world.

"sorry but you should reading more books that aren't--" shut up. read whatever you want lmao. idgaf. buy books. support libraries. have fun. this isn't a job. (I mean it is, for me. but like, it doesn't have to be a job.)

I read the Hacienda by @isabelcanas.bsky.social with a sweeter sake than I normally like and they worked together very well.

Loads of spelling mistakes in this.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Fox Wife with a schwarzbier. (Is everything by Yangzse Choo as good?) But maybe I should have had a Snow Beer, which I've never seen nor sought.

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group: "The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

This looks like some dream fancast and I can hardly believe it's real.

This is the most fun, most ACCURATE “you should read this next” quiz I’ve ever taken! Also, the quiz itself is a fantastically mystical piece of interactive writing.

For everyone asking for Latine recs, I’m starting with immigration stories in light of…everything. Please read and support these books! @skylight.social

It is a great time to pick up a book from this list.

When the library says your book is waiting for you and others are waiting for it, the new priority is reading and returning.

Don't give into the idea that consumption is activism, and lack of consumption or ritualistic destruction have real world effects. Do these things if they help you psychologically, but if they don't, treat the books the same way you would any other object you no longer want.

Good luck picking up your prescription at the #Harmacy

It would be easy to put Signal to Noise by @silviamg.bsky.social with something super bitter. But I think it would go with a wit. Kind of sweet, kind of sharp, a light beer that's also dense. (I also appreciate that all her books come with a soundtrack.)

Cynicism doesn't protect us from disappointment. It is a CONSTANT state of disappointment. You just don't notice individual issues, like fish don't notice rain.

Fist of the North Star should be paired with a basic simple pilsner. In honor of my acupuncturist, I'll have it with some Nazi Punks Fuck Off since he likes Future Primitive Brewing. And it fits the motif, even if it's not as skunky as I'd imagine for the series.

we must remember anita bryant as she lived

The Monk by Matthew Lewis would go nicely with a nut brown ale. (Heh. Nut.)

Naoki Urasawa's Monster would go nicely with a Kostritzer. Easy to consume, but also dark and complex.

I have never in my life heard anything as amazing as how the Beach Boys sound in Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. And I like the Beach Boys. A lot.

Kushetka!

Enjoying Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar with an Old Rasputin, named after someone who I'm not expecting to come up in the novel. But I wouldn't be surprised.

I was just so caught up thinking that the series should go with one of those glitter Pride beers that I didn't think about what I already had.

I mostly drank Johnny Utah from @georgetownbrewing.bsky.social during my Rose of Versailles read because it goes with everything. But now that it's over, I realize I should have paired it with a shandy.

Since I read short stories at work, I'll be enjoying the Paper Menagerie by @kyliu99.bsky.social with an athletic. At least until the na black butte gets stocked at my local grocery.

The Reformatory: A Novel by @tananarivedue.bsky.social would go well with a Duchesse de Bourgogne. Thick, sweet, sour, and really really good.

“I have too many books” -judgemental -boring -implies impulse-control issues “The books... they have me.” - mysterious - occult - implies you are at the mercy of a library of books that have gained sentience and are holding you hostage #readingcommunity
