Your periodic reminder that, 150 years ago, a desire to read fiction was considered both a sign of mental illness in women and a symptom of it.

House of Bone and Rain is a Bram Stoker Award nominee and I have no words. This is a weird, very personal novel, and seeing it in here with books I loved and authors I admire means a hell of a lot. Congrats to Paul, Stephen, Gwendolyn, and Josh!

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!
