As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

In case you want some sweet news today.
I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing.
For the entire school.
Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

my biggest english language peeve is that “toeing the line” means “following orders exactly as expected” instead of “verging on (but not quite committing) rebellion”

Christmas came a week early for me in the form of this basically personalized tbr 😘
I’ve been adding tons of books to my spreadsheet of queer SFF coming out in 2025. I just have to say I’m so glad the scared little girl I once was, hiding inside a closet in her own head, lived long enough to see and enjoy this joyous riot of wonderful, diverse queer stories. 🌈📚

It's me! An acquisitions book editor with a gift: Don't send your proposal over the winter break.
I know, I know, you'll have time. But we'll all come back to hundreds of them and it'll be super overwhelming and reading time will be compromised. Just hit us up in February! Or any other month!

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:
Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.
Your cat is perfect.
I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat.
Thank you.

I’ve officially reached the stage of backyard bird feeding in which I’m browsing for affordable window films because my local pine siskins are too silly to not throttle full speed into the glass on a regular basis
