I've only DNFed one book so far during this adventure--all the rest had something to teach me, even if it was just "It turns out I don't like romantasy as much as I thought I would."
Here's to another year of reading widely in 2026. 💚

Reports from Akron, Ohio: some voters faced issues with electronic signature verification earlier today. Poll workers had to switch to manual checks after the system failed to match voter signatures properly.

We need many kinds of story right now--stories that show us that cruelty can be fought, and stories that remind us that kindness isn't wasted; stories about suffering and stories about comfort; stories that show how to form community and how to resist and how to take joy in everyday moments.

Hello to all new folks! I'm a writer from the U.S. who's working on reading more broadly and getting through creative burnout. If you're wondering where the name comes from, "Tuomala" is Finnish. My most recent book is The Map and the Territory, available in many places: bsky.app/profile/amtu...

This was an INCREDIBLE conversation. Thoughtful, encouraging, validating, inspiring. Cried a little at the end. Can't thank Kate Elliott and Martha Wells enough for sharing their stories. (We DO need to make our worlds weirder. And we DO need to be kind to ourselves.)
