This sums it up pretty perfectly. I would love nothing more than to be more inclusive with my books. Audio books are amazing and help provide that access to readers. Unfortunately, I simply cannot afford it.

Offer still stands. We're up to 17 people who have added on Goodreads. If we get to 100, I'll do a giveaway of a paperback copy. For every 100 above and beyond that, I'll add an additional copy.

My partner and I were reading this at the exact same moment from across the table at lunch just now and both literally grimaced and said “what?!?” in unison.

Please tell me this is in a book somewhere. I must have it in physical medium so as to stare at it anytime I am low on whimsy. A phone screen simply will not do.

Literally no one has been left behind because of not using gen AI. This is a lie fed to you by stakeholders and obsequious bootlickers. Stop being so utterly spineless. Money and false promises are not worth your integrity. This is the most infuriating thing to witness.

A quick intro to my favorite little guy and his favorite vampire <3 Cyrus and Lucien are polar opposites in many ways, but somehow they work! Read SILVER BLOOD & SHATTERED CITY to meet them and their dumbassery 🤗 SB: books2read.com/silverblood SC: books2read.com/cos-shattered-city

Meet Cyrus & Lucien:

Trained as a vampire hunter
Bookish, quiet, keeps to himself
Snappish attitude hides deep insecurities
Runt of his family
Secretly a hopeless romantic.
(Attributes pointing at Lucien):
Well-respected heir to an ancient vampire family
Bright, studious, insatiable thirst for knowledge
Devoted alchemist, biologist, & secretly a romance author
Fiercely loyal to his family
Blatantly a hopeless romantic

Came here to say exactly this. Grooming is bonding time for cats living with others (usually other cats) and it’s a time when cats are more vulnerable. This definitely means your cat trusts you and sees you as a form of comfort and security.

I keep clinging to the hope that if I just keep writing and/or sharing the “good”, the creative work of myself and others, it’ll somehow balance the visceral hellscape that seems to close in on us daily. How much longer can I keep telling myself that, I wonder…

I’m late with this one but yes, absolutely. There is no substitute for seeing yourself in media (be it books, tv, movies, or even art or music); there is something so grounding about it that reminds me that I’m a person too.

I exclusively purchase paperbacks if I: want a beautiful looking series for my shelf and know I like the author/book, if the paperback is being sold second hand, or if the book is a special edition/signed.
