We ball

The forthcoming book by Alito from Hachette reminds me of a drum I have been banging for a long time. As long as publishers continue to send $$ to people who attack our right to read, no matter what else they do, the right to read will be under attack

Did you know that you, yes YOU, can vote in the Hugo Awards?? @mollytempleton.com breaks down the process, including how to register before the January 31st deadline!

attention buckaroos BLACK FLAME by @scumbelievable.bsky.social comes out tomorrow and it is outrageously good. highly recommended for buds who like their horror pitch black and ruthless as heck. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

one of my favorite books of the year is out today: BLACK FLAME by @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a seething, compelling, nasty story about how repression hollows you out, and how you can never be self-abnegating enough to please people who hate you. It’s repulsive, erotic, heartbreaking. 12/10 stars

Watching “Escape From LA” for the first time, just got to the Coliseum scene and am wondering — @sgj.bsky.social did you write this?!?

In two weeks, please join Gretchen Felker-Martin (BLACK FLAME) and Wendy N. Wagner (GIRL IN THE CREEK) on our July episode of Fearmongers. What a glorious evening it will be, full of blisteringly beautiful books. Wednesday, July 30th at 8 PM/ET. Register via Zoom here: bit.ly/4eTvkvw
