“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married!”

I just finished She’s a Lamb! by @meredithambrock.bsky.social and Jessamyn is probably one of the best deluded protagonists I’ve experienced in a while. Brava!

"Nathan Whitlock is a winning conversationalist who asks all the right questions and has found a way to cleverly catch writers when they aren’t on the PR grind." - @meredithambrock.bsky.social being very nice about the podcast in Vancouver Magazine. www.vanmag.com/city/arts-an...

#She’saLamb is everything it promises - dark, funny, smart. What surprised me is how @meredithambrock.bsky.social makes us empathize with Jessamyn - especially since Jessamyn is fundamentally incapable of feeling empathy for anyone - even herself. #BookSky Full Review:

CanCon not only allows us to punch above our weight creatively, it also is low key one of the best policies for social identity and cohesion we've had in the past half century.

I'm just reposting this because I finished She's a Lamb! and it just blew me away. @meredithambrock.bsky.social has written the most unreliable narrator ever who will break your heart and leave you reeling. Y'all need to read it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Currently reading two very different - but very good - books: Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer and She's a Lamb! by @meredithambrock.bsky.social. Both five-star reads! #BookSky

Today’s cover: She’s a Lamb! by Meredith Hambrock A delusional theater usher claws toward stardom with nothing but unhinged optimism and yogurt commercials. Is this the best cover of the week? Vote 👉 bookjacketbracket.com Author: @meredithambrock.bsky.social Publisher: @ecwpress.bsky.social

i know they would have the craziest beef

What I read in May. It was a slower month for books, but there were some great reads. #booksky

"I have asked the AI to mimic my writing style so you, the reader, will not be able to tell what was written by me and what was generated by the AI" is so much meaner than anything I could say about this fraud.

whee!!!! 10! 10! 10! 10 out of 10!

Read Poppy Z. Brite Read Clive Barker Read Hailey Piper Read Andrew Joseph White Read Gretchen Felker-Martin Read Alison Rumfitt Read Sofia Ajram Read David Demchuk Read Paula D. Ashe Read Joe Koch READ QUEER HORROR ALL YEAR 🏳️‍🌈🖤

SHE’S A LAMB! is so fucking good. Recommended for fans of SERIAL MOM.

the hot goss on the street is that GHOULISH BOOK STORE got a shipment of FRESH NEW BOOKS in today and that you can PURCHASE them in store OR at ghoulish.rip ..tell all yer friends 😎

Most things in the past were much worse than today. People just put up with more. Until suddenly they didn't, and we'd get things like weekends or food that doesn't poison you.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day to all who celebrate, which should be all of you because indie bookstores fucking rule. (I’m at the LATFOB today and will be signing at the booth of a great store, @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social)

Fun read by @meredithambrock.bsky.social on @49thshelf.bsky.social re her new book, She's A Lamb, pub by @ecwpress.bsky.social. So happy she mentioned At Last Count published by @invisibooks.bsky.social in there, too. Can't wait to read the new book, Meredith.🙂 49thshelf.com/Blog/2025/04...

A working actor feels destined to be a star at any cost in Meredith Hambrock's (@meredithambrock.bsky.social) darkly comic novel, SHE'S A LAMB! (@ecwpress.bsky.social). #AmReading #Novel #CanLit #Humour #Drama open-book.ca/News/A-Worki...

Congrats @meredithambrock.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I laughed out loud while reading SHE'S A LAMB!, Meredith Hambrock's new novel that skewers Canadian theatre with two-parts sass and one-part sorrow. Strongly recommend this one for fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation (and, you know, theatre). www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/a...

god oh god, why have you abandoned me

@meredithambrock.bsky.social on The Sound of Music in the tradwife age: “...the narrative of the woman who wants nothing for herself isn’t just on our old, cheerfully packaged VHS tapes—it’s on our phone screens, in our politics, clawing back our rights...”

She’s a Lamb! by @meredithambrock.bsky.social is out today! 🎭📖✨ A darkly comic suspense novel about the dangers of magical thinking and the depths of delusion. Publishers Weekly called it “a showstopping performance.” Read more about the book on our website: ecwpress.com/products/she...

Repost if you're watching the Scotties

love when a hockey team gathers behind its own net to start a play, so mighty ducks coded

canada lost the rap battle and the hockey fight. the only thing left to do is go double or nothing on a good old-fashioned Canadian kissing contest.

CONCLAVE is a total lib fantasy and i loved every second of it

i dunno i just think it’s really chill to not have to worry about polio.

Just finished SHES A LAMB by @meredithambrock.bsky.social and holy crap that book was amazing. Dark and funny and creepy and cutting satire and it went everywhere I wanted it to go. It’s out April 8 and you NEED to read it. #booksky

ask him if he can spell his own name

This is amazing.

The most effective editing move is still the one I stole from George Saunders: read your draft over and over and over again, out loud, until you have to fix the bad parts because you will literally die if you have to read them more time

I love this early writing career anecdote from Gene Wolfe, who at the start of his career sent the same story to two different magazines edited by the same sci-fi writer (Frederik Pohl!) and received two different responses. ("My point is, of course, that there had been no rewrite...")

I have been watching a lot of network TV with my dad and it’s nice to see so many early 2000s teen movie actors again.

a great reminder that I am so desperate to read Smoke Kings!
