Talk about bucking trends. In Georgia, a 25-year-old recent communications graduate bought his home-town newspaper rather than watching the 180-year-old institution fold. Love! www.themonticellonews.com/2026/07/15/m...

This book was passed from my niece to my daughter to me — we all loved it! Also, what an absolute a^^hole. The fact that #Strangers is a bestseller is exquisite justice. Who else is reading the #BelleBurden memoir — what do you think? #AmReading #AmWriting #Bookstagram #Booktok

*New and improved!* THE BOOK OF HOURS is a 2026 #RevPit winner that asks the question: How far would you travel for love? If you’re an agent looking for a 68,000-word, dual-timeline upmarket debut with romantic and speculative elements, I’d love to send over some pages! #AmQuerying #Fiction

(Part Four) To see the place where the #timetravel genre was before #OctaviaButler transformed it, just read H.G. Wells — or my thesis. Talk about curiosity seeds! “I lost an arm on my last trip home.” Who wouldn’t turn the page to find out more about that? #AmWriting #AmReading #AmQuerying #RevPit

Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff @rachellsarnoff.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

(Part Three) OH, how I love KINDRED by #OctaviaButler. This is the book that I believe singlehandedly shifted the #timetravel genre from one that reflects a chauvinist and colonialist past to one that foretells a feminist and egalitarian future. #AmWriting #AmReading #AmQuerying #RevPit

#RebeccaSerle employs speculative elements like time travel to explore relationships and ONE ITALIAN SUMMER is a perfect example. The MC knew her recently-deceased mother as a woman with rules — so it’s perfect when she shows up to break them. (Part Two) #AmWriting #AmReading #Bookstagram #RevPit
