On my TBR! For years now, it seems.

Yeah, I'll participate, but c'mon. When you're so super broke and waiting for the first of the month to meet very basic needs, it's a big ask. I guarantee we will have no gas, no food, no meds, etc., on the first. And, again, we'll participate, but this is plastic straws all over again.

Project Hail Mary, Beloved, The Only Good Indians, and all by a lot in their categories. I haven't read any of the romances, sadly.

There's a second one now, too (but I only have the first)! Gorgeous book.

I wish I knew, too. Maybe something to do with revisions and different editions? It's like how some video movies are caught in limbo with no streaming options and no physical options.

I feel like I should explain that Carl beats Sower in that one bracket because Parable of the Sower was a reread and so it already placed in a previous year. I do love Carl, but not as much as I love Octavia Butler's Lauren Olamina.

I don't know. I think they're so cute! Guess I'll have to start over on the catalog.

Such a brilliant book, and the episode was good, but I would have appreciated a more nuanced Etsy discussion. "I give myself permission, thanks. It's what we white folk do."

I just love Jade to pieces. 🫶 She is heartrending and interesting and funny.

Please promise you'll have a mushroom risotto for dinner to further encapsulate the spooky vibes.

I needed a pen name in undergrad, so I went by Molly Sharp for #MollFlanders and #BeckySharp. I thought it was clever. Very basic. I like Esmerelda Fontaine. Flashy!

Okay, so My Heart is a Chainsaw will scratch a lot of your itches there, but I found The Only Good Indians super subversive for a horror book, and it's standalone and brilliant. MtI is on my list, but I can't speak to it b/c I've yet to read it.

I hope they let you wear your grey hoodie under your suit!

This ad is deeeeep in my brain, yet I don't know my kids' phone numbers by heart.

This was my favorite this morning! Such a pretty song. But I couldn't see mine because the trees are too tall and too leafy. Nice problem to have. #birds # WestVirginia

It's about time these weirdos, these national embarrassments, slink back to the shadows and gutters to which they belong.

I'm reading Growing Up Dead in Texas. Uncle mystery solved.
