1. The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner: I hadn't found a bookt that drew me in so far this year, so I decided to reread this series and what an excellent idea that was! I'm still finding new things to scream about - it's just incredibly brilliant. Gen!!!!

every time I read a Sally Rooney novel, I go in thinking, "good lord the stylistic choices she makes are going to annoy me to pieces, and she TELLS so much instead of SHOWING, argh, why am I doing this to myself"
and then within 30 pages I'm in love and totally engrossed
joke's on me, Ms. Rooney

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

I read this glorious collection by @vanessafogg.bsky.social who is one of my favorite short story writers. A collection that thrives in the negative space. In what the characters don’t say. Words missing or left untold. Connections waiting to be made. ✨
