I’m so glad I read @lindaholmes.bsky.social’s essay about WEAPONS in the PCHH newsletter & listened to the ep, too, bc they convinced me to see it even though I am not generally a horror person. My fella & I both thought it was one of the best in-theater movie experiences we’d had in a long time.

Craft question: are there any mg or ya books told in dual POV, where in each you consider the POV character the hero and the other the villain—sympathizing with or understanding the actions of each when you’re in their head, even though you know they’re “evil” to the other?

I’ve been reading and watching a lot of sci-fi recently (📚Some Desperate Glory, Wool, 📺 Andor, Silo, Foundation). My biggest takeaway? I don’t think I have the upper body strength to survive in a dystopia.

Sometimes I think about Dear Genius, the collection of funny, pithy, insightful letters that the legendary Ursula Nordstrom wrote to authors like Sendak, EB White, Margaret Wise Brown, etc, and how I email my authors things like Neverending Story gifs.

Me: Only an hour left in this audiobook, that doesn’t seem like enough time for a happy ending.
Me: Oh no this is an adult book.
Me: Oh no there have been so many Romeo & Juliet references.
