First 6 miles were damp, but not awful. Last 1.5 were windy, soaking, and straight up not fun. But at least it finally feels like fall! #running #runsky

"The world will drive a woman insane, then point at them and laugh."

Adding Play Nice to my favorite haunted house books list. It is also easily one of my favorites of @rachelharrison.bsky.social. (Black Sheep is still my GOAT of hers.)💜🖤🩷

#books #booksky

Play Nice by Rachel Harrison. The book has a white cover with a purple and pink house. The house is wrapped up in a demon's tail and has cobwebs, a dark figure in an upper window, and an eye looking out from the very top window.

Book cover titled Ember’s Hollow by Deanne Marcus-Rupert. The cover has two girls standing in what appears to be a forest. One girl stands in the foreground, blacked out, but looking fairly solid. The other girl stands closer to the trees, also blacked out, but looking much more hazy. The tagline at the bottom of the cover reads Be Careful What You Look For. The book sits on a black and white blanket with occult symbols on it.

You're holding a library copy of The End of the World As We Know It - New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand. Edited by Christopher Golden and Brian Keene. Introduction by Stephen King. In the bottom corner of the book you can see a raven's head whose eye is red with an X in it.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like:

-masked secret police kidnapping people off the street
-creating concentration camps
-attempting to eradicate trans people
-banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books
-murdering fishermen in open waters

I don't know if it's because of the state of the world or the fact I'm starting to finally feel like I'm getting older, but I have been so incredibly nostalgic for the 90s/early 00s lately.

Me when someone asks for @paultremblay.bsky.social and @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social recommendations at the library. I gave them Survivor Song and Come With Me.💀

Marketing a new book right now feels so weird. But I know there's a bunch of people who would love to see books by queer authors with queer characters go away for good. So help fight the man and buy Ember’s Hollow! (And my other books too!)

Those 13% Boxer genes are strong today in this blanket thief. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky

Long legged tan terrier/hound mix is looking at you from the couch where she's stolen a blanket off the back of the couch and is now snuggled with it. Her mouth is turned down in a frown and her ears are down trying to make herself look miserable enough that you won't take it from her.
