@chuckwendig.bsky.social I’m picking up on an Oklahoma connection for you after reading Double Dead, Wanderers, and Wayward. Surely these mentions aren’t coincidental?

Just finished: Don’t Let the Forest in by CG Drews. 4.5⭐️ and a story that’s gonna stick to my brain like fungi. Haunting, stunning, macabre, surreal, atmospheric, emotionally devastating, addictive. I couldn’t put it down. #booksky #darkacademia #horror #yabooks

I’m not usually happy reading multiple books at once, but it’s mysteriously working for me right now and I’m not mad at it. Priory of the Orange Tree + Don’t Let the Forest In + Red Queen is somehow not melting my brain. #booksky #currentlyreading

I hope authors leave IG. I know they’ve built communities there, but the real ones will follow you elsewhere. (not speaking directly of Gabino, here, he’s just my fave author on Bluesky)

Ok friends, as Black History Month is ending, let's make sure we are reading diverse stories year-round! For everyone who posted about black books in Feb, we will definitely notice if your books don't reflect diversity the rest of the year 👀😒 fake allyship is getting clocked #blackbooksky #booksky

Tananarive Due - The Reformatory @tananarivedue.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

While I was writing THE REFORMATORY, I learned that it's possible to talk a project to death. (It took me seven years.) I came up with a rule that I couldn't talk about my WIP unless I had produced actual writing that day.

Finished last night. Initial thoughts put it at a 3.5⭐️, but I feel like this could change depending on book 2. There is promise. I also hope that my least favorite of the four POV’s becomes less grating in the rest of the series. I do recommend the audio for this one. #booksky

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

Finished. Part of me is complete and part is utterly wrecked. Exceptional book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Due has an impeccable ability to transform you to a place. The skill with which she picks you up and places you inside the POV you're reading is something I've never experienced before. #booksky

We can avoid it all. We can put our foot down right here at the beginning and refuse to comply with any of it.”

Finished and I’m totally wrecked. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This novel reads like a memoir - and a stunning one, at that. Each devastating turn is more emotional than the last. Will absolutely be reading more from @colsonwhitehead.com.

Listen…Nickel Boys is tough. Important, necessary, and very difficult. Needed something to balance it out for bedtime reading, so I’m diving back into the Scythedom. #booksky

Finished last night and to say this will stick with me forever is an understatement. I’m not new to reading about Black experiences, but I damn sure have never read anything like this. Difficult, haunting, raw, complex, emotional, real. Highly recommend. Eager to read more from Morrison. #booksky

If I see one more person say that they think DEI is prioritizing diversity over qualifications 😤😤😤 How in the world do they not realize how blatantly racist it is to automatically assume being diverse makes us less qualified?? Like...c'mon

One thing to keep in mind when reading Morrison as a white person: we are NOT her target audience. She will talk about Black things and not explain it because she assumes her audience is Black. So be prepared to google a lot. It's off-putting for some, but it's why I love her so much!

Thread on money and happiness, worth checking out. Anecdotally, for me the sweet spot for money and happiness seems to be All Your Life Expenses + 25%, because everything critical is taken care of and you have some money for life enhancement. More than that won't make you much happier overall.
