I’m about 5 hrs into this 17hr tome! Enjoying it so far. It has many POV characters, all people drawn to the uncanny and whose paths cross in the Isle of Wyrd, were the Arcana mingle and trade with humans for knowledge, opportunity or thrills.

It was the first romance book I ever read AND the the first fiction book I had read since college…it was my gateway into romance + every other fiction genre I now love. Literally reignited my love for reading in a way I’ll always be grateful for.

🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

haha, a year. i am very sorry to report that somewhere in romancelandia, a white woman is probably writing this and is planning to self-publish something like this within weeks.
We're probably a year away from someone dropping what they'll describe as a "griping Romeo & Juliet story" about an ICE agent falling for a woman he tear-gassed while kidnapping her father.

It'll be written by a white woman from a law enforcement family, and she'll be *shocked* by the backlash.
They’re going to try, they’re going to find a very popular actor, and they’ll shoot it morosely, and they’ll tell you they’re really trying to “honor the story” of the people they targeted for kidnapping and detention amid this psychological study.

After several nights I can report that I like and I’m glad I bought this bed tent.
Pros:

1. Wraps around mattress/has no floor.
2. Creates a warm little sleep cocoon for me.
3. Easy to assemble and disassemble (2 criss-crossing poles)

Cons:
1. Wish it had screens all round not just on one end.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I’m reading a rom suspense novel I’m really enjoying but instead of using “ministered” they keep using “administered” when referring to doing churchy work. As someone who has served in this way and been involved in ministry, it cracks me up and I wonder what happened on the editing side of things.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

This book is so incredibly swoony that at one point I caught myself sighing “Gosh scaling fish is so romantic…”

It is not. Not in real life. Just in this book.

(Also there’s old-timey baseball, it’s all so great.)

I'm gonna need folks to understand that just because the worst people in America are obsessed with GLP-1s exclusively because of weight loss does not mean they are not LIFE SAVING for a lot of people.

There's a reason they're studying their impact on Long Covid right now.

I cannot emphasize enough that when you share something, you need to verify it is true before celebrating.

This is how we get complacent and believe that the battle is done and over and the enemy is defeated.

We had such a great night on Tuesday, but this isn't over. Not even close.

Tirzepatide accidentally saved my life when no one was taking my long covid seriously or even understood how badly it was messing me up. I truly hope they find some solid evidence it can help others, too.
We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word

I just borrowed book 1 to check if I had read it would have been better prepared for the ending and having skipped to the end…I sure would have! I think I’ll jump back and read book 1 after all!
82. The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer A Mystery by Ragnar Jónasson (cozyish mystery)

Bk 2 but I jumped in with this one & enjoyed it all the way to the last chapter where I was not prepared for the cliffhanger ending of one of the storylines!

Cw: abuse, stalking, murder, lies.
