I'm so sad to hear this news. Unlike some Buffy fans, I loved Dawn and I thought Michelle Trachtenberg was amazing as her. Rest in Power
Far too young. RIP. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Ahem. Boosting this specifically for YA and adult SFF/H trad pub coming out June-Aug 2024. If you haven't already connected with me, I want to hear from you!
Doing my semi-regular request for adult and YA SFF/H coming out May-Dec 2024. Preference for books by and about marginalized identities and books from small trad publishers. (Not looking for graphic novels or self-pub at this time, sorry!)

NYC Mayor Adams' new budget proposal would siphon even more $$$ from libraries, shuttering most branches on weekends (budget cuts have already closed branches on Sundays). If you're in NYC, please take a moment to send a form letter supporting NYPL! I just did, it takes ~30 seconds 📚
Friends in NYC! Please use these forms from our public libraries to tell the mayor not to cut NYC library budgets! Pick your borough and fill out the form!
