For authors who don’t know this book club is a fake - it’s a FAKE! An AI fake.
There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

I have always imagined this #1920s Callot Soeurs gown as some beautiful ornament or a piece of stained glass, the jewelled colours framed in gold feel like a precious stone rather than a woven garment @drexeluniversity.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Book review (3⭐ out of 5): Punk 57 is a NA book set in HS by Penelope Douglas. I binge read this one and I'd say it's a blend of friends to lovers AND enemies to lovers. These kids do not read as kids so just take that w/a grain of salt. Childhood penpals finally meet as HS seniors but only Mischa

This is not a life-threatening/emergency ask compared to other things I’ve asked for assistance with, but I’m looking for someone who is willing to rehome their Freewrite Traveler. I used to have one that I got for my book tour in 2023 but I sold it last year when we were preparing for homelessness.
