“A time will come,” she said, “when all of us will have to make a choice between what is right and what is wrong. I worry that time is closer than we think. And I don’t know that we’re prepared." ~ Larmina, from Somewhere Beyond The Sea by TJ Klune.

I like to think that, every few books, we yeet a new one into existence that catches even our core audience off guard; the ones who put their full faith in us, knowing that the ride will at least be memorable.

@rascalhartley.bsky.social's DEAR STUPID PENPAL is one. I'm dying to see yr reactions🖤☠️
