Because I’m an academic masochist and I can’t not think of this as homework for the Zoom Event from @romancingthevote.com I’ll be reading this since my hold actually came in on time. Think of me in my time of need.

An image from the Libby app indicating that my hold for Communion by JD Vance is available. This hold was placed on July 1st. Yes, he is popular here in the Hoosier state.

Hey librarians/bookish folks: has anyone ever written a YA historical fiction novel set in the women's movement of the 1970s or the Black Power movement of the 60s?

It’s apple orchard season, which means it is time for me to get snobby about apple varieties! It also means I will impatiently await certain varietals. However, I’m making a stop this week because one of the nearby orchards has Cortlands in a bit earlier than I expected.

Gotta say, watching this Lodestar virtual presentation, it’s kinda depressing hearing YA authors saying their next book is for adults because they don’t see their work fitting the current Romantasy trend in YA.

There’s nothing quite like watching a dude (and it’s always a dude) being precious about debate and terms of argument while knowing just how much Aristotle would find him cringe.

Today in Don’t Be Stupid Like Me: Even though I know I’m prone to oral allergy syndrome, I binged on cantaloupe this weekend. My defective body reads the proteins in the cantaloupe as ragweed pollen and now I have swollen gums and thus achy teeth. I knew it was happening and ate more. It was tasty.

Well, 100 years is more in line with my great-grandparents than my grandparents. If it is my grandparents, we have a choice of funeral director/furniture sales, nurse and import/export electronics and grandma maintaining the company books between rounds of golf, bridge, cigarettes, and scotch.

Once again, Plum took ownership of a @romancingthevote.com auction item, although this time Tala tried to get in on the action. Thank you @hedgielib.bsky.social for the Halloween Green cowl!

A small gray cat sits on top of a knitted cowl. The cowl is black and slime green. The gray cat warns her younger sister, a gray and white Holstein patterned cat, to stay away.

Still rewatching some early seasons of Project Runway. I’m at Season Four and realizing that Christian Siriano could have come off a lot worse if he hadn’t been on the show (especially toward the end) with somewhat mature people who were fairly chill. Also, he was so young.

On the window’s ledge sits her adopted younger sister, a troublesome Holstein patterned cat that likes to creep on her before sneak attacks. Plum will defend her newly attained territory.

I don’t know what possessed me to rewatch the first season of Project Runway, but I’m getting pretty grossed out. Some of those models are minors. Like, 16. And in episode 6 they’re pretty much being served up to gross older men while wearing swimsuits. 🤮

Book Recommendations, please! What are your faves about the Civil War era? I’m thinking the anti-Shelby Foote. I especially like books about people we normally don’t get to read about, critical histories, etc. Basically, what are the best books that aren’t repeats of high school history class.

I went to the annual fireworks at the lake tonight. It was hot and humid, and the cloud cover was low. Smoke from the fireworks lingered all night. I’m just starting to go through my pics, but some of them are eldritch apocalyptic horror material.

So, my brother and his family are visiting for the week so I decided to indulge in some literary nostalgia of my own. Normally I give the girls modern, diverse books to read, but on Sunday I handed the eldest a copy of Howl’s Moving Castle. The next day I received this picture from my brother.

Back around Christmas my brother told me he’d gave his oldest HP to read but she wasn’t that into it yet. Now, he is not online at all nor does he pay attention to book-related news, so he was not aware of JKR’s issues. I gave him a briefing and and offered to find better books for my niece, but…

Today I spent most of the afternoon baking items that can be frozen for my mother so that she can send things home with my brother (and his family) at the end of this weekend. Dude graduated from Purdue in 2001 and hasn’t stopped taking coolers of food home after visits since college.

One of many trays of cookies I made today. This tray contains 12 of the over 4 dozen coconut macaroons I made. Not pictured are brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Tomorrow, lemon bars and more.

My brother & family are about to go on a trip to Tokyo (to visit my nephew who is stationed nearby) and then China to visit my SIL’s family. He asked me what I want him to bring back for me from Tokyo. I’m guessing a katana is out of question. I’ll probably send him to a stationery store.

Just yesterday, a friend posted a meme about millennials are going through another once in a lifetime event OMG THEYRE SO SPECIAL. Of course, I had to jokingly scoff in Gen X, but I also made the point that my Silent Gen parents might have a few things to say about this.

I really am about reading whatever one wants to read, but I also wish people understood the difference between fantasy and reality. DO NOT USE THIS POST TO ATTACK ROMANCE READERS. Spy novel aficionados, I’m looking at you. Same for True Crime lovers. 🧐

A post on Threads. The text reads as follows: “I just found out that mafias are real, like actually!!! As a romance reader I was squealing when I found out my cousin went to a university program and there were tons of rich young people there, this one guy had bodyguards, a private jet, and even invited everyone to eat and paid for it! Apparently his dad is mafia [shocked face emoji] wth I thought it was supposed to be a secret! [tears running down face emoji] yes I’m asking my cousin more about it because ummmmm I want some romance
