got a music rec recently that described the group as "very vibes-forward" and I thought he meant charismatic but it turns out to be a vibraphone player

This is what I’ve been doing with my 52 books challenge! 3 sentences is very doable for me.
Okay, because I need to try and re-spark some writing community joy after… *gestures at everything* how about a revisit on a way you can absolutely support authors you love for zero dollars: by dropping a low-stress, three-sentence review somewhere.

Art + Photog editor @eric-enbom.com was immediately 😍 for Ashley’s piece. As she says, it’s “an environmentalist collage based around a dry humor, Looney Tunes-esque gun and raccoon icons in a forest mesh.”

This is grim news. A healthy publishing world needs critics.
It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.
