Mini-bio: A lifelong genre reader, grew up reading fantasy, sci-fi & mystery in Puerto Rico, then found Romance in a post-grad school burnout haze!

When I’m not reading, talking about books or knitting I’m a school librarian.

I heard that he is keeping that one. Just dropping Duke of York. So it’s a fake punishment.

Yes. We recently had a scare where she stopped eating for multiple days so we called. But then she perked back up and we canceled. It feels like being on edge.

76. The Vampire in the Potting Shed (Groom & Doom 1) by Hailey Edwards

This was sort of a dud. Bait &switchy with too much set up and not enough story. Curious if the story will hit its stride later.

Just added 400+ skeins to the shop across a bunch of bases. So if you’ve been hunting for a skein or two to round out a project (or start a new one 👀), I’ve got you covered.

Fun fact: last week I got my royalty statement. It was for the last 6 months, and it was for my two books that have been banned.

Just so you know how rich we get off banned books, that check was a whopping $51.

No, not a badge of honor. No, not money-making. KIDS JUST LOSE ACCESS TO BOOKS.

Twitter at its peak was some of the most fun I’ve had in my life. Made tons of friends through live tweeting shows and talking about books. Boosted my work in ways that weren’t possible before. Monetizing this shit was a bad idea.

My genZ daughter immediately dropped a community college class where AI was going to be mandated and all her feedback was going to be ai generated. She figures if she wanted ai feedback she didn’t have to pay college credits for the privilege.

Seriously, if you can, go get your own shingles vaccine--you do NOT want to get shingles.

SuperWendy @superwendy.bsky.social · 11d

Was going to schedule my shingles vaccine after I got past the sinus cold I brought back from vacation. Eye pain started yesterday. Went to urgent care tonight. Guess who has shingles?! I only put off my shingles vaccine by a few months. Learn from me.

Surgeon Generals’ Warning: Secretary Kennedy has rejected science, misled the public and compromised the health of Americans. The nation deserves a health and human services secretary who is committed to scientific integrity and can restore morale and trust in our public health agencies.

**NEW**

Today, the ACLU of South Carolina filed a lawsuit on behalf of public school students and school librarians. They're challenging the constitutionality of the state's book banning law and a memo outlining the state's content censorship policy.
