I just saw a 20.00 paperback romance from a debut author and the way I yelled a bad word! Like no! No f-ing way!

It’s a form of engagement hacking. It doesn’t really add anything. It allows bad people who have nothing to add accumulate large followings.

I was in a reading slump but now I am coming out of with so many things I want to read, not nearly enough time and a driving anxiety I will slump again. It is both joyous and unpleasant- a conundrum of conflicting feelings

@buriedbybooks.bsky.social is there a new place to get the sheriff’s blotter now that Plumas News is gone? The sun doesn’t have it and there are squatters in SG house that I am curious about how often PCSO has interacted with. I’m being nosy more than anything

The people attacking libraries cannot imagine that children deserve autonomy. When we say that children should be able to read without coercion or fear, all they hear is “Other nefarious forces are grooming these children.” The movement is deeply anti-child. 📚
Above all else, this movement is about asserting complete domination and control over children.
