AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I’ll never understand why these men who have everything are so damn angry all the live long day. Take your $ and go sit on a beach, pet a dog, eat some ice cream, ffs. What a way to live.

See those little mushrooms on the cover? They play a very important role in this creepy, gothic story and I loved it.

Today I learned that for *cough* only $399 I could buy a Publishers Weekly review. For that amount, I could give away 10 paperbacks...So, let's do that instead. For the next 10 wks, I'll give away a book a week. Like this post and follow for a chance to win WHILE I WAS GONE. Entries close on 9/22 🖤

This is streaming on @shudder.com if you missed it way back when like I did and If you love a good mean girl being a mean girl story.
Heathers still wins the category but this one is pretty good too.

I’d like to go back to the days when authors were mysterious. When we were thankful for a strange little bio& a weird pic. Maybe they were a serial killer or just a lover of weird shit. It was none of my business but I loved created my own story in my head. Social media has ruined the imagination.
I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

Imagine not reading the book and typing all of that out with authority? 🫣
Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.
Oh my.
Oh my.
