Reader. Obsessively so. Oh, and I have a bit of an obsession with Dutch things. But please don’t ever make me smell patchouli.
I would say this picture is my entire personality, but there should be a book on the table for that to be true.

This artist makes tapestries about the HEATED RIVALRY tv adaptation (from Rachel Reid’s books).
1) Do authors hate fandoms?
2) Are other authors jealous of how this hockey romance became the collective brain of BookSky/booktok/bookstagram?
3) Actors notoriously hate doing promo. Do these guys?

Meanwhile, their “gender” women’s volleyball just upset Nebraska to go to the NCAA semifinals. They are happy to make money off of these women athletes while not respecting them as actual human beings.
“At Texas A&M, internal emails show staff are using AI software to search syllabi and course descriptions for words that could raise concerns under new system policies restricting how faculty teach about race and gender.”

Records obtained by The Texas Tribune show how universities are using the technology to reshape curriculum under political pressure, raising concerns about academic freedom.

Set 4 just went 37-35!
I know everyone’s watching NFL games on a Sunday afternoon, but ABC is airing the Nebraska - Texas A&M women’s volleyball game, and whoa, this is women’s athletics at its finest.

Reminder that some of the best women’s volleyball is being played now. It’s not always easy to find, but this is the best of the best.

Having the No. 1 overall seed and top ratings draw in the sport of volleyball start at almost 10:30pm ET seems like a forced error by the NCAA and ESPN.

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.
was ‘heated rivalry’ failed by its publisher?
everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

Are we talking about the fact that an adaptation of a romance novel is the highest debuting tv series on Crave? You know, that genre that is always disrespected but generates billions of dollars for the publishing industry and now the tv industry?

RevDaniel again preaching the truth!
Fascists attack women to enforce strict patriarchal gender roles. They seek to control women (predominantly their reproductive capabilities) so see feminism and gender equality as threats.
Also strong, independent women are often the first to call them on their bull—t.
This is fascist playbook.

It’s got to be tough being an author. Today, a writer was unhappy with me for not staying on topic with what she posted. (I thought I had.) I thought to myself. Fuck it. I don’t need to follow or read this author. There are thousands of authors & books available. Sorry. I’m fickle. I’ll pivot.

If your tv obsession this year was “Nobody Wants This” and not “Heated Rivalry,” we are very different people and can’t be friends.

It's definitely much easier to casually read more books by women than watch movies by women. I'm at 70% books by women vs. 20% films by women for the year. Hollywood needs to hire women to direct in all genres.

My review of LANDLINE by Rainbow Rowell is on IG/SG. Georgie has everything - career, husband, daughters. She cancels Christmas when an opportunity comes to write her own sitcom, but her husband takes the kids to Omaha without her. When she calls him from the landline, it’s 15 years in the past.
