A leader arises.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

I did this for a library patron on her laptop today. Free and took about a minute.

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 15h

Sounds like a series I might like!

I always want to follow behind Prue and Paul and scoop up something that they say is "claggy, underproved, underbaked, too much caramel, too sweet, the chocolate is too thick" and devour the entire plate. #GBBS

I mean, a potato famine is bad enough without houses eating you and stuff.

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 5d

Me too!

Halfway through BOOK OF LIVES (November 4), a memoir by @margaretatwood.bsky.social Witty and fascinating. Too much about Graeme Gibson IMO, but this is understandable. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

A Welsh fairy tale retold, HONEYSUCKLE will be one of my 2026 fantasy faves. Big sister makes her little brother a magical playmate out of flowers who must play any game he chooses. How sweet! For a while. #ewgc @barfridmantell.bsky.social @macmillanlib.bsky.social

We need more multiple-wives-in-the-middle-of-nowhere horror, judging from THE FOURTH WIFE.
YIKES @lhamiltonwriter.bsky.social -I actually felt suffocated! Coming March 31. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Nonstop enjoyment: VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE by @writersofrohan.bsky.social Cozy romantasy with a twist in the plot (villainess redemption) and an even tastier twist at the end. Coming November 18. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 6d

We need to hear about your shocking reads! #ewgc

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 6d

Golly. Our end of the year is June 30 and I actually enjoy it because E-BOOK MONEY. #ewgc

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 6d

Hey #ewgc great to see you!

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 6d

EarlyWord GalleyChat is TODAY at 4 p.m. EST. Librarians will talk about galleys (ARCs, DRCs) of interesting upcoming books! #ewgc #booksky

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 8d

Another Dorothy Gentleman mystery! 🥳

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 21d

It *is* great fun! Cozy Romantasy is the greatest subgenre! Or is it a sub-subgenre? Anyway I love it.

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 21d

Minus the thrillers that my coworker nabbed, my ARC box from @prhlibrary.bsky.social contained these babies. Lauren Groff! A doorstop of Atwood! Etc. @legroff.bsky.social @margaretatwood.bsky.social #ARCs #ReadingAhead #bookhaul #ARChaul #booksky

I'm a librarian and I read incessantly.

Jill Minor @jillsreads.com · 21d

They are so darned good. I've always meant to listen to the audio. And I'm big on the Crows. They were the best part of the TV show too.

Wanna come to Southwest Virginia/Northeast Tennessee in summer or fall of 2026? There are two great bookstores and this great little library that I work in. And you could stay in a historic hotel and go to the theatre. Keep Appalachia in mind!
