This is nice, sometimes it's good to read about nice things 🥹
A while ago a lovely German man appeared at our church. He came a few times to look around during our Saturday opening hours, before asking if the piano abandoned in the corner worked.
I told him it was horrendously out of tune, and the cathedral piano tuner had deemed it not worth sorting out.

Finally got to visit one of my favorite local bookstores. These were all $6! I had to put The Truth According to Ember back because I have no business owning two brand new copies

Not books but my media consumption lately has consisted solely of stationery videos on YouTube and anime, and I’ve just been binging Fruits Basket for the past 2 weeks

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Today is BITTER MEDICINE's second birthday! I can't believe it's been two years since I debuted. BITTER MEDICINE is a fantasy/romance about Elle, an underemployed magical calligrapher who's a direct descendent of Shénnóng, the Chinese god of medicine, and Luc, her mysterious half elven client. 1/

I'd like a beaker of tearose an' violet cordial and a big pastie, a mushroom and gravy one; after that I think I'd go for a piece of hot damson tart, with sweet whiterose cream poured all over it.

Things I already miss: synced highlighted quotes and all my unhinged reading status updates!!!!!
I finally caved and (re)created a StoryGraph account. I’ve imported my Goodreads library but it stresses me out and I’m thinking about deleting everything and starting from 2025 reads only!!!

So to all those KU authors who are now realizing their eggs-in-one-basket choice wasn't the best long-term business move?
Instead of urging people to continue giving money to Jeff Bezos & perpetuating a monopolistic, exploitive system,
just PULL THE PLUG.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

The authoritarians and know-nothings don’t want us to imagine better futures, better worlds, and that’s precisely what fantasy does. In the words of Katherine Rundell, “The imagination is the primary and first site of resistance.”

T Kingfisher never really misses but this has to be one of my favorites! I read it in one carb-craving sitting on vacation and then passed it off to my third grader. She loved the magical gingerbread man and sourdough Bob - how can you not! What’s your favorite Kingfisher book? #BookSky

Lunch was a fairly simple one: sliced fruits—apple, pear, greengage, and plum, some fresh-baked scones and elderberry jam, and plum an' gooseberry cordial, foamy and cold from Corksnout Spikkle's vaults.
