...and then when we got back in the van he played Ja Ja Ding Dong, so all in all a great night
Got to see some crazy northern lights in iceland. We were packing up to leave having only seen haze and it whipped in fast. Also my tour guide went on a rant about how much he hates AI images he's seeing for Iceland promo material. Double win.

Look, Amazon has committed many crimes against the bookish community, but one of the BIGGEST sins might be when they change the cover of your ebook to the TV/Movie poster cover when it is adapted.

As gift guides are coming out, I am once again begging you to not buy your bookish friends "personal library" embossers or stamps. #booksky

Decided it wasn't too early to put the tree up, but it WAS too early to watch a holiday movie while doing so. So instead I started Interview with a Vampire. Fa la la la la la la Lestat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a former Theatre and English major, and thus Greek Myth girly, I really love how Hades & Hades 2 are creating a legion of late-in-life Greek Myth boyz. Now how do we get them into horses and Dear America books?

You can learn just about anything on YouTube. *You* can. I cannot. I'm deathly allergic to all those guys' voices.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

6 years ago @mrdankelly.bsky.social asked me to share the scariest fiction that stuck with me...my answer was just "the cover of 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark'" ...and that has not changed. I hate that weird pipe guy. thirdcoastreview.com/lit/2019/10/...

If you emboss a book with your FULL GOVERNMENT NAME and then donate/sell that thing to a used book store, I WILL look you up...you know...just to see what evil looks like.

Anytime I hear someone tell a little girl that a boy is picking on them bc he likes them, I sigh wistfully and think about the boy in 6th grade who shattered my teeth in a friendly basketball game. You know...the one that got away.
