This was book 97 of 2025 and I have so many good things to say I can’t figure out how to keep it short here — except @melruthwrites.bsky.social writes perfectly for her intended audience. Nails it. And I love reading about the struggle when a sibling leaves for college - doesn’t get enough attn.
I just finished my ARC copy and it is SO GOOD! I love the whole series but book 3 is my favorite and I cannot WAIT to share it with my kids!
Get yourself an ARC if that’s your thing. If not, get excited for the upcoming (but tbd) release!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Anyone interested in writing Poems for Pets to support my local rescue? What's better than writing poetry about the adorable quirky pets in our lives and helping us rescue more animals?

This is Melissa - wondering if there are any fellow dog and/or pet lovers in the #epistemicfamily and #poetry community who'd be interested in collaborating with me on a volume of poems about pets with the proceeds being donated to the rescue I volunteer with? Inspired by @1dgrn.bsky.social

Planning a tattoo with one of my favorite artists who does all my weirdest pieces--see pug butthole-- and I referenced Salt Lake City Punk and he had no idea what I was talking about and then I remembered that I'm old.

"Don't Let's Start" for me, but I don't think there's a single song I don't like.
Name your fav They Might Be Giants song.

How can we play this terribly, like abysmal, against an amazing D who should get all the credit, & still almost win. PS I can't stand Brady. Can't adapt if things aren't working. Basically every game we've won has been Josh going maniac in the 4th quarter to make up for Brady's shortcomings.

I've hit 1 of those periods in life where I've got a lot going on, mostly good, & it's too much to process at once. I can't give anything my full attention. So everything is in stages of completion. I don't even think I have laundry done to go to the 2 events I'm meant to be at tomorrow. Send help!

What a fantastic night writing poetry about camping with K-8 students! We did haikus, acrostics, odes, and limericks, and I even have a few kids interested in submitting the @nimblewitlit.bsky.social !
