a lil #MSWL but make it ✨ book vibes ✨

thought I’d make a visual/moodboard of books I’ve enjoyed lately or whose themes, storytelling, and/or writing resonate with me. If your querying novel sits in conversation with any of these books, I want to see it!

feat. weird girl lit, horror, and sff.

Graham Linehan is literally in court today for harassing, cyberstalking, and assaulting a trans child. He's saying his victim doesn't exist.

He turned up to court wearing this. I'm imagining he was also wearing this on the plane. Just a total embarrassment.

President Trump is not only working to stop a transition away from fossil fuels in the U.S., he is pressuring other countries to relax their pledges to fight climate change and instead burn more oil, gas and coal.

Trump, With Tariffs and Threats, Tries to Strong-Arm Nations to Retreat on Climate Goals

The president has made no secret of his distaste for wind and solar in America. Now he’s taking his fossil fuel agenda overseas.

does the person who bought the first edition The Hobbit for £43,000 know that they could just give it to me. I'd be very grateful. thank you in advance

your regularly scheduled cursed LotR fact of the day is that the Beatles nearly made a film adaptation of it, with (among other things) John Lennon as Gollum and George Harrison as Gandalf, and to be directed by Stanley Kubrick. pls imagine John-as-Gollum with the Kubrick stare

you would not see me for DUST if i had access to her resources. i'd be playing the most elaborate dnd campaigns and anonymously building monoliths in remote parts of earth. she's so embarrassing.

Rowling's 24/7 commitment to being an absolute nightmare ghoul is sort of extraordinary. She has every option in the world for how to spend her life and she commits herself entirely to hatred and self-righteous mean-spiritedness; some are more effective at evil but nobody puts in the hours like her.

You know when we kept saying this was coming, this was happening, this was never a US-only issue, we were having events cancelled and being left off lists and parents had to sign permission slips when we were coming in to do assemblies? You know? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
