performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Lots of folks on Threads are talking about the staggering amount of scammer emails from people pretending to be book clubs, reviewers, and more.
Seems like the endgame is eventually getting you to pay a good chunk of money for promotions and readers that likely don’t exist.
Be careful out there.

Minneapolis has a great food scene! Also, and probably more obvious, so does Seattle. The best fried chicken was Gus's in Memphis.
What cities had the best food that you've been to?

Seanan McGuire is one of my all-time favorite authors & I love this!💜 Frankenstein+Stranger Things (w/o the romances). So intricate & delicate, a love letter to math & language, and siblings. A scifi fantasy of epic proportions & masterful storytelling.📚 #booksellerJaya

Rereading is a real treat sometimes! ✨️ So wonderful! A folktale that feels like coming home & going on an adventure all at the same time. A dash of Wizard of Oz & Alice in Wonderland, but told w Seanan's love of language. A book for grownups but one that young teens could enjoy. 💜 #booksellerJaya
