I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

✨This book was once owned by Jane Austen! ✨
There are very few books that Jane Austen is known to have owned, making this one at the UL incredibly special. We're delighted to show it to you today, on her 250th birthday!

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

The most unbelievable part of Murder, She Wrote is not the preponderance of murders, it’s that a genre writer is forever treated by both publishing and the public as prestigious and culturally important

Finding "little grey cells" in the wild always make me laugh.
Also, I 🖤 her Tommy & Tuppence, especially their frenetic dynamic in The Secret Adversary/Partners in Crime, and alluded to both those works in my current MS.
"That’s the curious part about speaking the truth. No one does believe it."

The cozy genres have had an understandable boom in the last five years; people are bruised and traumatized, even if they don't fully admit it in words, and they want books they can sink into like feather duvets. This is great! It's also complicated, because when anything grows fast, confusion...
