Democrats have been given chance after chance to be the heroes in this situation. Secure their legacies for generations. But time after time, they've chickened out.

Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.

Substack seems determined to subject me to people who mourn the decreasing popularity of "the classics" and literary fiction in general.

There is magic waiting to be uncovered in these darkest of days.
It is our invitation to remember and honor the light, that is returning.

Don't you just love it when a writer stumbles into your genre group (i.e. Romance) and asks for advice on writing a book that'll appeal to "normal readers who like more sophisticated writing"?
