I feel hung over after finishing this beast; to me, it's a harder read than Caro's LBJ books, sometimes a slog. But I'm certainly glad I read it, as it really is one hell of a literary work, and you come away feeling you've taken a college course in politics. Recommended. #BookSky #books #reading

Happy Hanukkah, Y’all! I was lucky enough to be invited to ring in the holiday again this year with a good friend, delicious food, and the new Rian Johnson film (👌).

My last reads for the year (I’m going to optimistically believe I’ll finish them all) got into the library.

FFS. I’ve always resisted making fun of A LITTLE LIFE’s cover, having heard the book is depressing and assuming that even if it *looks* like a man taking a long-awaited dump, he’s probably dying or something.
Is he hell. The photo’s named “Orgasmic Man.” That dude’s cumming.

I stayed up late last night finishing @joe-hill.bsky.social’s KING SORROW, and barring any last-minute upset, it’ll be my favorite novel this year. Fun, emotional, epic: It’s the kind of book that makes me glad I SFF. Highly recommended. #Booksky #fantasy #horrorsky #books

A friend and I finally watched KPOP DEMON HUNTERS last night, then turned our attention to our seasonal pumpkin-carving today. We may have felt inspired. #MovieSky #Kpop #Halloween

I attended Atlanta's #NoKings march yesterday with @dzgrizzle.bsky.social and his boyfriend Michael. We saw @warnock.senate.gov and @staceyabrams.com speak, which was unexpected and cool.
I left feeling energized, but also obligated. Our country's sliding into fascism. We must act. #StopFascism

A very late Happy New Comic Books Day—my last! 😢 I’ve canceled my subs in advance of my move and will sell what I’ve collected. But I’ll still follow series online.
Great final week. I got ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN 20, ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER 6, and ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN 11. 👍

Happy Brand New Comic Day! Batman’s the theme again, this go-round—I got ABSOLUTE BATMAN no. 11 (prob’ly the most *fun* comic I read each month) and BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE no. 10. Happy reading!

Happy New Comic Book Day. Haven’t been sharing recently, but hey, it’s a new THE POWER FANTASY issue. Best book on the market, for my money. Second TPB comes out next month.

Today is the day that my first professionally published short story, “Laufey’s Son,” comes out in Flame Tree Press’s LOKI anthology—and as Fate would have it, my contributor’s copies came this morning, too.
This is a good day.

Happy Brand New Comic Book Day. Just the one for me: BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE no. 8. Like every issue in the series, it’s diverting rather than gripping, a light and meaningless adventure elevated by Samnee’s art—and that’ll do, but it could’ve been more.

A belated #NCBD to y’all! I got BATMAN AND ROBIN: YEAR ONE 7, by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee.
By now it’s clear this book’s just about Samnee’s art and giving us cute scenes of Bruce, Dick, and Alfred learning to live together. But I’m fine with that! 🙂
