I'm currently closed to review requests.

Usually I wouldn't close for the year until after Halloween (and with notice) but the brain has not been braining recently.

I'll hopefully reopen in the new year!

(Or I'll get excited and jump the gun in late December idk.)

Our indie publishing house cares more about getting our authors’ work into the hands of those who need it than selling a wealth of copies.

Once again reminding people that indie authors are almost always down to hand out review copies.

There's no reason to pirate their books.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I looked up a few walking pads on my phone just to price check and man is my Facebook happy it finally knows what to advertise to me.

Thanksgiving Tacos.

You have all the regular Thanksgiving Stuff, plus tortillas. Whoever wants to can make a taco with all the holiday fixings.

Best thing my sister and I ever convinced our mother to do.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

My crochet super power is the patience to make giant projects. I've made several blankets, floor pillow, an entire "wizard" robe.

But gods be damned if this Christmas tree garland isn't TESTING ME.

I found the article this screenshot is from and it does look like the author believes some people are reading performatively... and also that it's a *good* thing because they're still reading.

Also good to know the secondhand book sector is booming. ❤️

If you didn't care about those in need in August you don't give a shit about them now.
DO NOT call up the homeless shelter on thanksgiving or Xmas to see if you can pass a few plates and show your kids the “reason for the season”

The homeless shelter is not a petting zoo of human tragedy! The homeless shelter is not a drive thru nativity scene for you to enjoy!

It is the weekend before Thanksgiving - a perfect time to pick up any last-minute safety devices such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers.

The only downside to a super frugal handmade Christmas is now we don't get to do our "walk down some towns main street and see what we find" shopping trip.

All three of the books on my TBR are by straight white men.

I don't even know who I am anymore.

((In my defense, one of them is John Scalzi.))

The blog post might be a day late, but it's here!

Let's talk about what I'm (hopefully) reading for the Reindeer Readathon!

There are a tiny number of authors that will convince me to read a magic school book.
me: I just will not read a book where the main character is a romance author, it's too weird

kelley armstrong book I bought without reading the blurb: i'm a book where the main character is a romance author

me: i have always supported this trope and been a huge fan
