I've been feeling a little down lately so I decided to read my 'break in case of emergency' books, Elsie Silver's Rose Hill series. There's an ease and comfort in her work that I haven't experienced since reading much of Nora Robert's backlist in my early twenties. Exactly what I needed right now.

Question I would genuinely love feedback on: When do you prefer to see end-of-year 'best of' or wrap-up posts and most-anticipated lists? December? January? No preference at all? I'm outlining the blog's schedule for the next couple of months and would love to hear what you like best! #BookSky

Money is tight for many right now, so I was excited to see Book Outlet is having a Black Friday sale - $7.99 or less for fiction and 20% off everything else. I'm in no way affiliated or sponsored by them. Just took advantage of the great sale this morning and wanted to share the news! bookoutlet.ca

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

I was very happy to sponsor this post!! Check out these amazing titles—I can't wait to pick up some from my library!

It’s indescribably crushing when I see generalizations like “No-one does detailed new book release posts anymore” or “No-one is making helpful/accurate book lists.” I do. I am. I spend hours on them every day. It hurts to feel invisible and struggle to find support for things people clearly want.

Tonight's game was about so much more than baseball. I'm honestly crushed right now.

I'm perplexed by people who complain they can't tell who a book is written for based solely on the cover. A cover can often offer the first impression about a book's contents, but it's not the only indication. Read the synopsis. Check the classification. There are lots of ways to learn more.

Writer pals, as we venture into “best of” list season, remember to focus on your other accomplishments. That new draft, the books you’ve read to hone your craft… Maybe the new thing you’re doing outside of writing (these are so important!) Zero in on what you can control, and keep your head up. ❤️

I always roll my eyes when someone says that listening to an audiobook "doesn't count" as reading because it's a skill I desperately wish I possessed. I own so many audiobooks but I struggle to focus on or retain books I listen to. I'm envious of readers that are able to do that! #BookSky

Every child who has come to our door so far tonight has screamed “Go, Jays, Go!”, often instead of “Trick or Treat” 🥹😂

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Davis Schneider’s sister with the clapback. 😅😅

It took the Jays less time to win Games 4 AND 5 (5:56) than it did for the Dodgers to win Game 3 (6:39).

Looked at my phone to post about the leadoff homer and before I could post it, the Blue Jays had a second homer. The Dodgers fans who were talking about how this series appeared over when they went up 2-1 probably feel a little silly right now. #WorldSeries #MLB

First three pitches, two home runs! The Blue Jays aren't messing around!

There's a reason I've been watching Murder, She Wrote in its entirety and reading so much romance this year.

Joanna Ho and Caroline Kusin Pritchard, authors of THE DAY THE BOOKS DISAPPEARED, had their elementary school author visit canceled when they arrived and students were waiting for them. Why? Because they wouldn't *not* talk about book bans–inspiration for their book. bookriot.com/the-day-the-...

GREAT recovery by the Jays after last night’s epic marathon heartbreaker. This team never quits, and never loses their confidence. Big mistake to underestimate them. #WorldSeries #GoJaysGo

The Toronto Blue Jays had 49 comeback wins this season, leading Major League Baseball. They lost the first 2 games at home against the Mariners, and came back to win the American League Championship with, you guessed it, a comeback win in Game 7. Don’t count the Jays out. #GoJaysGo #WorldSeries

VLADDY GIVES THE JAYS THE LEAD He hits a two-run home run off Ohtani and the Jays have gotten the bats going in the third. We’ve got a ballgame. Jays 2-1 Dodgers

I ask this periodically, but whose got recs for M/M histrom written by an author of color and with BIPOC love interests, or at the very least IR? Bonus if the author is a queer BIPOC man. Trad pub or self pub.

You never know what will come out of a broken crayon. #FoundObjectArt #Halloween

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR. This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators. #PicturesMeanBusiness

After Congress stripped away funding for @npr.org and @pbs.org, a lot of us are wondering how we can best support the most vulnerable stations. My former NPR colleague Alex Curley created this "Adopt A Station" website to help you find (and donate to) the stations most at risk. adoptastation.org

It you’d like to donate to a food bank near you, you can find one via the nonprofit Feeding America. You can also donate to its network of food banks on its website: “Every dollar you give can provide at least 10 meals to families facing hunger” Please repost. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

I desperately wish I felt safe enough to travel to the US (I don't and don't know when I ever will again) because this is absolutely incredible and I would love to see this breathtaking art in person!

Pieces: 500 Brand: Hobbry Title: Forest Friends Artist: Kaitlyn Haddlesey It was so lovely to sit down and work on a new puzzle, especially one so cozy and perfect for the current season! #PuzzleSky #JigsawPuzzle

For those who are hungry, and for those who are able to donate to their local food banks.

Following Ada's lead, I'd like to do the same. Reply to me w/ a receipt of a donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll also match your donations, up to $500. 🍎🍌🥬🍞🥩❤️

I want to hear from every fucking asshole baseball writer, podcaster, blogger and other talking head moron who wrote the Jays off without watching them play a single game this year. What the fuck is up.
