I’m thinking of setting a long term reading goal: a year with Baldwin. Reading Baldwin: a Love Story and Baldwin’s works featured inside. 🤔🧐🤨 #BookSky

As we approach the point when people discuss their reading success for the year, I’m over here fighting for my life on this singular goal: fiction / nonfiction balance.

Oh my goodness reading "Tidy Bun" is giving me serious flashbacks to when my children were small and doing gymnastics. I was invited to a "Hair Tutorial" no lie on a Friday night to learn how to do the appropriate "Spider Web" design.

I second this, even if you aren't writing a novel. Any day that ends with a shiny new library card is a victory!
Your first step today is making sure you have a valid library card.
If not, do a library visit today and get one.
Make sure your card gives you access to Libby (a free way to get ebooks)
If you do this today then mark this day as a WIN for your novel.

Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.” @evystadium.bsky.social has more.
