This color! I love it. Starred review from PW. I almost typed "scarred" review, and I'm blaming that firmly on the book I'm listening to currently. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97805...

This is a cover that is not like the others. If you're looking for something unique, this is it. Whether or not it is good or bad definitely depends on your tastes. But, I'm not a fan of it being difficult to read the author's name. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97815...

I'm digging the colors. Starred review from PW, LJ says it is "confidently written" and Kirkus said it's a promising debut. I think the journals take turns on being the easy grader and it's PW's turn! #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97989...

Good Morning, my loves! Happy Thursday. Happy October! Happy "I can't believe it's October!" PW fixed my access, so that was nice. I had to call them, email wasn't enough, but they did it and weren't dicks about it. So yay, I hope you all have a good day too!

This is clever. I love the cover. The blurb makes it seem formulaic, though. I mean, there is a murder and by solving the clues you'll get an answer? Making you work for it.... bookshop.org/a/4013/97800...

@publisherswkly.bsky.social Tells me that my subscription ended on September 25th. In August 2026, however, I paid for my yearly subscription. So I'm quite confused. And, you know, a little ticked off.

She is wrong in so many ways. If nothing else, all clothes are made by humans. While some processes are automated, ALL our clothes are hand made. Much like the romance authors she looks down on, she also doesn't see the labor who made her clothes as people.

The same reason why maga will never be smart enough to leave maga is the same reason why JCO casually speaks down about other writers: they inherently think they are better than others. I don't care if AI harms me eventually, they can harm romance writers NOW and it's fine.

Goodness. What a complete and utter dumbass. And does she feel this way about all "formulaic" fiction, or just the one thought to be primarily for women? Just the one that is marketed primarily towards women?
