it makes my blood boil. it’s a conference in my field and after my experience in 2023 i refuse to go back. as my therapist said then, ‘i hope some tenured faculty writes a flaming brick of a letter,’ but it appears no one has 🙃

i have not! thank you!!

oh thank you! one of my weaknesses is buying physical books so i have no problem doing it for this occasion 😂

i’m usually a literary fiction reader, but am not opposed to a thriller or detective novel given the assignment lol

thank you!!! not done yet, likely defending in march/april, but i put all my chapters into one word doc yesterday and was like, well damn

hahahhaa. my university’s student newspaper wrote a review titled ‘the life of a showgirl has nothing to show’ 😂
