A CanCon thread of books I've read!
1. Part Time Girl by @adriaan.braevitae.com. I was gripped throughout this YA story. A super-relatable teen MC trying to do the right thing while dealing with identity challenges and mysterious magical threats. Loved the ending. 💖 braevitae.com/w/parttimegirl

Hi. I'm launching a wee lil' Patreon for my political comedy content tomorrow. I'd love for you to keep an eye out for it.
I was gonna make a bigger speech than this, but it felt weird, so I'll keep it as simple as that! See you tomorrow! ❤️

Michelle Branch, "Everywhere"
Big fan of the yell-sing "EV-REE-where to MEEE" chorus
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone

No argument here but in case you are in need of more great Christmas music that hasn’t been played to death, a thread:
Not that there was ever a question but Darlene Love’s Christmas (baby please come home) is the greatest Christmas song from the great Christmas record.
Speaking of, it’s time to start the season by the switching of records on my Ronettes shrine.

In a lush meadow
on a distant world
she runs fingers
through alien grass
and remembers
bustling sidewalks
looming deadlines
and endless anxiety
as she careened
toward empty #goals
until that fateful day
she slipped and fell
into an opportunity
(or a transport ship)
for a different life

This is a fab little book for people who work on comics—it has helped me when I proofread for IDW—but, as I said when it first came out, I also think readers of comics would find it just as interesting! I certainly found it interesting as I copyedited it, and that was before I got the IDW gig!
The Proofreader’s Guide to Comic Book Style came out a year ago today!
To celebrate my first book birthday, I’m running a 20% sale on all orders on comicbookstyle.com now through Black Friday with the code BIRTHDAY

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions.
The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?

A lovely list of edibuddies! So many fantastic and helpful folks here.
In honor of Thanksgiving, I want to spend some time thanking members of the editing community who are important to me.
This list is not inclusive, and I know I'll have left folks out or listed the same person twice. This list is in no particular order. Everyone mentioned is on Bluesky.

Because my children are Gen Alpha monsters, they want to know if I've sold 67 copies of Year's Best Canadian F&SF Vol 3 this month--get it? 6-7 * makes flailing juggling motion and despairs * I'm about 20 copies shy. For Black Friday, want to help an indie publisher pull one over on his kids?
