Just finished: Don’t Let the Forest in by CG Drews. 4.5⭐️ and a story that’s gonna stick to my brain like fungi.
Haunting, stunning, macabre, surreal, atmospheric, emotionally devastating, addictive. I couldn’t put it down.

I’m not usually happy reading multiple books at once, but it’s mysteriously working for me right now and I’m not mad at it.
Priory of the Orange Tree + Don’t Let the Forest In + Red Queen is somehow not melting my brain.

It’s excellent, folks. Only two episodes out and I could easily discuss it for days. #murderbot

This is the kind of dating advice I need
I’ve finally found the golden text!
I’ll take a copy of Lonesome Dove with me to the gay bar when I’m trying to pick up dad types lol

I finally persuaded my 19yo to read Lonesome Dove, so he's been carrying around the paperback, and he told me today that not one but two dad types have stopped him in the past few days to tell him it's one of their favorite books. #dadlit

Glad my name’s not Katie, specifically so I’m not always in charge of barring the door.

I hope authors leave IG. I know they’ve built communities there, but the real ones will follow you elsewhere. (not speaking directly of Gabino, here, he’s just my fave author on Bluesky)
Meta pirated 16 of my books/stories to train their AI. Fuck Meta, fuck AI, and fuck everyone stealing our work to call themselves a writer. Anyway, go buy House of Bone and Rain or The Devil Takes You Home.

For everyone who posted about black books in Feb, we will definitely notice if your books don't reflect diversity the rest of the year 👀😒 fake allyship is getting clocked

While I was writing THE REFORMATORY, I learned that it's possible to talk a project to death. (It took me seven years.)
I came up with a rule that I couldn't talk about my WIP unless I had produced actual writing that day.

Finished last night. Initial thoughts put it at a 3.5⭐️, but I feel like this could change depending on book 2.
There is promise. I also hope that my least favorite of the four POV’s becomes less grating in the rest of the series.
I do recommend the audio for this one.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

Finished. Part of me is complete and part is utterly wrecked. Exceptional book.

Due has an impeccable ability to transform you to a place. The skill with which she picks you up and places you inside the POV you're reading is something I've never experienced before.

This novel reads like a memoir - and a stunning one, at that. Each devastating turn is more emotional than the last.
Will absolutely be reading more from @colsonwhitehead.com.
