After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian is out today so nobody has any excuse for reading anything else.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Speaking of reality show romances, @quicunquevult.bsky.social's *Audrey Lane Stirs the Pot* (releasing 12/9), is a delightful conclusion to the trilogy set in the world of Bake Expectations, a cozy cooking competition with a foul-mouthed producer who finally gets her happy ending! #romance #books

Capitalism doesn't seek to fill needs other than greed of CEOs & shareholders. They build it first then try to convince you (or force you) to need it.
GenAI was not a need. It's still not needed. It will never be needed.

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

Librarians told 404 Media they are being inundated with new pitches for AI library tech and catalogs are being flooded with AI slop books that they need to wade through. AI maximalism across society is supercharging the ideological war on libraries, schools, academics
