As the Bram man said (kind of, almost),
"...the fishermen say that we are in for a storm. I must try to watch it and learn the weather signs. To-day is a grey day, and the sun as I write is hidden in thick clouds, high over [Inver]ness."
Be careful out there!

Seeing as we've just sold another Drive Your Plow, and I've just finished reading House of Day, House of Night, it's time for a bit of this...

Know what we find really terrifying?

⏭ When people interrupt our reading.
⏭ Companies that send their CEO to the moon, all while trying to put small bookshops out of business.
⏭ The realization that we'll never get through our TBRs.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Poor Young Frankie he just can't decide what to read this Halloween. Should he go with a classic or try something new like #PoorCreatures by #MairiKidd or #Mary by #AnneEekhout?
