i have a confession: a friend made me watch married at first sight for the first time this year & i’ve moved onto the latest australian one because she promised me it was bonkers (true) but i’d just like to say: i’ve never hated anyone on tv as much as adrian & his sisters

Today could be a really good day to buy a copy of Birding from an independent bookshop, or perhaps even its poor neglected older sibling This Is Yesterday
Black Friday reminder: You can support independent bookstores and get great deals without lining the pockets of billionaires 😌

hey so if anyone wants to ask their indie bookstore(s) for a copy of Awakened for Christmas…! 👀
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

just going to say that if your debut novel was in close first person and then you decide to write your second novel in third person with four different protagonists then you’re an idiot and i hate you

Excellent, honest thread on the reality of being a writer today.
I'm not the only author I know who has a huge surfeit of ideas for books that we would love to write and send out into the world if only we had the time to write them.

To walk the colonades at Ashcourt Necropolis is to tread upon grief-soaked stones. You are haunted by absence, enfolded in a thousand dead whispers. Despite our attempts at grand demarcations between living flesh and slow corruption, death remains a shared singularity. – #CLNolan
