New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Reminding me to watch Fire Island, the heartwarming gay Asian P&P that all the Heated Rivalry stans should really be looking at next.

Listened to it in one sitting. Engrossing, gave me lots of thinky thoughts on what parents & children owe to each other, personhood & the law. Also knitting.

I’m really bad at mass effect. Like ong why am trying to drive this vehicle, why do I have to try to aim at things. I’m terrible at these things. Might just need to go back to my shire game and forage for tasty things and make meals.

I accidentally picked up the ARC of the second book in a new monster romance series.
I’ve never read a monster romance before. Is it typical to have very little worldbuilding around the existence of monsters?
This reads very much like a hot small town secret romance romance but with tentacles?

No surprise to librarians, but perhaps surprising to users, demands/prices for ebooks /audiobooks are killing public library budgets. David Szalay's book, Flesh,” costs DCPL:
$28.99 hardcopy
$59.99 ebook
$69.99 audiobook
DCPL owns hardcopy; rents & must repurchase ebook & audio book every 2 yrs.

Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.
The demand and price for e-books is up — and it’s busting the D.C. Public Library budget.

Tonight my store, Good Girl Books, hosted our first ever Good Boy Book Club. We were expecting maybe 5 guys, but 15 showed up—most of them strangers—to talk about a romance novel. They were a great mix of guys and from what I heard from the next room (they led it!) they had great discussions!

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

In a weirdly timed coincidence, this book is set in Venezuela (author is also Venezuelan) and I really enjoyed it and it fed into my current rock star romance mood. (The FMC is a Venezuelan magazine columnist and the MMC is the Colombian lead singer of her favorite band). Out on 2.17.26.
