I just saw a review that said a historical romance was too “historical”. After I’ve been begging the genre for this for years, this book is automatically on my TBR

Today is my Charlotte Lucas birthday so I can officially say:
“I’m 27 years old. I’ve no money and no prospects. I’m already a burden to my parents. And I’m frightened.”

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

If I could offer the returning AUS government one piece of advice:
Australians may have bucked the international trend of voting right, but this country needs to be future proofed. We need to enshrine people’s (queer, disabled, Indigenous) rights so a culture war can’t rip them away

Looking after the house has become a two dog job.
On another note: I’m glad my new rescue (the white dog, Stitch) is getting on with the family rescue (the black dog, Jax)

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Introducing Stitch!
This 8 year old cattle dog x whippet is now my new housemate. It’s been a few hours since we got home from the shelter and she’s already chosen her favourite bed…after investigating every bench top she could find

Occasionally you come across a book where you know the author or editor was listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. They think I won’t notice but I alway do

We watched Nosferatu and I’m a little annoyed at the need in this and in Coppola’s Dracula to have Dracula/Orlok have some past history with Mina/Ellen because in the original Jonathan goes to his castle, he finds out Jonathan is married, and is like, whee, I’m going to England to have a threesome!

i hate that we are in a resurgence of the r-slur as a result of the current political climate. don’t use it. it’s not cute.
Way too many people On Here are using the r slur and it's pissing me off.
It doesn't make you edgy. It doesn't make you cool. It makes you a shitty person. Shit posting doesn't include slurs.
If you use slurs, I will block you. Slurs hurt people.

Whenever someone tells me they feel anxious about joining book club or I feel anxious about doing something new I remember:
These people were all once strangers too. Just keep showing up and soon you'll be the one welcoming in the new people <3
