In the bookshop this morning:

PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.”

CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down *

CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

@naominovik.bsky.social What the world needs now is the Temeraire series as movies or a TV series. When the U.S. president decides the history of slavery is "too woke" to be shared in our museums, we need Art more than ever to fill the gaps. Your work is exactly what we need. #HistoryThroughArt

This one lost a little steam for me in some sections but I enjoyed it regardless. I did NOT see where the trauma was heading!

In all my years of being married to my husband, he has never put the extra pillows on the bed in the morning after getting up. However, his favorite cat has decided this week that she likes this particular arrangement of pillows. Now they are on the bed in just this configuration every morning.

Excerpt from Frog & Toad, a winter scene with snow on Toad's head and the quote "I can go home," said Toad. "Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better."

If #TikTok woes continue & readers lament #BookTok and wonder how they are going to get book recommendations, can I make a suggestion? Hit up your #LocalLibrary & independent book sellers. There is a network in the real world that supports #books. #BookSky💙📚 is great, too here on BlueSky

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.

The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

In a world where revelations about Neil Gaiman could have devastated me without repair, I'm grateful that the writings, wisdom, & Art of #ToniMorrison live on to bolster my spirit.

I'm listening to Dinner on Monster Island right now, read by the author. At about 40% in I'd concur that it's good stuff!

My first read of 2025 was Nico Lang's American Teenager. Lang's 9 months spent visiting with 8 Trans teens & their families led to a balanced work everyone should consider. Here's the link to my brief review on @thestorygraph.com

I'm always looking for something to get lost in, but I've become a bit of a book snob. However, now that I'm untangling from the GoodReads/Amazon web, what I really hope is to discover new authors. I'm tired of the algorithms attempting to feed me.

I found you! Looks like we have some crossover in interests. My list is a bit more depressing than yours. Maybe you will lighten me up by association!
