Every time I hear the barred owls in the yard before dawn, I'm just so happy. They have a territory about the size of our entire (not-small) suburb. I can't expect to hear them every day or every week. But--they're here now, hi, neighbors, hi.

One of the panels I was on at @armadillocon.bsky.social was what you should be reading this year. My fellow panelists and I talked books from. @wiswell.bsky.social to @marissalingen.bsky.social to @authorizedmusings.bsky.social to @mahmudelsayed.bsky.social to @stephengrahamjones.com and much more!
I am not first and will be far from the last to say this:
I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS.
I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

I have mentioned it before, so maybe, but I know others liked it too. Hooray for word of "mouth" (or post) for getting it seen.
