I’m dying to the folks saying “but TTPD was the most streamed and best selling album” - this isn’t the Spotify Awards. They made sure to mention 13,000 Grammy voters so be mad at them. Cowboy Carter fans rise up!!

Beyoncé having a Cowboy Carter tour stop in DC on the Fourth of July is diabolical and I’m seated. American Requiem is gonna hit different. tour.beyonce.com

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

Yesterday trans and nonbinary people watched orders signed that say they shouldn’t exist. Undocumented immigrants are scared for themselves and their children. Educators are worried about fighting to teach the truth. They want us too scared to mobilize. We can’t give them that satisfaction.

I just went to preorder Oathbound and said “Jess….make sure you didn’t preorder it anywhere else”. Y’all I have preordered this book TWICE already. For Bloodmarked I had preordered THRICE. Someone stop me!!!

I am currently reading two books at once. And getting ready to start a 3rd. My brain is so chaotic.

TikTok being gone for 12 hours with that fancy little message thanking Trump better be suspicious to you all. Especially since there was not actual enforcement of the ban. They didn’t have to go dark. This is all a ploy. Democrats making dumb choices. Trump and TT CEO think we’re stupid.

Reminder that if you're gifting any of my books for the holidays, I'm happy to send a signed bookplate! (And if it's AT MIDNIGHT or OUT OF OUR LEAGUE, I have bookplates signed by multiple authors!)

Highly recommend this podcast from Code Switch “Taylor Swift and the unbearable whiteness girlhood.” It talks about who is allowed to be a girl and how the Kanye interruption helped set the stage for Taylor Swift to always be protected.

If you love dark academia, creepy fungi, hot doctors and unreliable heroines read Grave Matter by Karina Halle. I read a bunch of Karina’s romantic suspense books years ago and this has now taken over my brain and idk what to do with myself besides googling “dark fungi”. Pick up this book!

Walmart is not just ending DEI programming. They are dropping
small businesses, diverse suppliers, and Pride events. They are not renewing a $100m commitment to Center for Racial Equity. The impact of this is going to be monstrous. The impact on PEOPLE - makes me sick. www.cnn.com/2024/11/25/b...

A day in the life of Jess, a book influencer:

Wakes up
Drives kids to school
Works
Thinks about the books she should post
Thinks about the content she should make
Spends 1.5 hrs *thinking about* fun content
Never makes it…….
