Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Newer ARCs of 2026 books that caught my eye and all sound really great: CELESTIAL LIGHTS by Cecile Pin, LOVE GALAXY by Sierra Branham, WE DANCE UPON DEMONS by Vaishnavi Patel, and MEET ME IN THE GARDEN by Nina LaCour. #ewgc

Really enjoyed JANAE SANDERS' SECOND TIME AROUND by LaQuette! Sexy romance, great friendships, examines both positive and harmful parent/child relationships. #ewgc

Hi #ewgc! A slow ARC month for me since our last chat— been more focused on books already published this year (reading Flesh by David Szalay right now- excellent). But starting to get so many exciting 2026 books!!
