“When power belongs, not to the violent, and not to the wealthy and well-connected, but to the people, a different sort of future begins to present itself.” #booksky #kellybarnhill #drinkthemoon #dragoning

Been in a reading slump.
Based on many good reviews, this should break it 🤞🏼
Never too old to rekindle my love for fiction/fantasy.

Wow, this has been a good surprise.
Some parts are getting my stomach in knots, though.

Anyone else?

Hello, Bluesky! I’m new here. I work for the Steelers on the radio and I cover the Pirates on TV. I’m listening to lots of James McMurtry and Todd Snider, and I just wrote my first book, a middle grade fantasy novel entitled The Door in the Stone. #Steelers #Pirates #kellybarnhill #pittsburgh

This is one of those hard to describe books I love. I was totally engrossed & the ending left my feeling very bittersweet & a bit sad. Def recommend if the blurb interests you.

Organize a needlework night at your local cafe. Join the [whatever-it-may-be] group you’re invited to join. Deliver food to your community fridge. Help distribute food at your community fridge. Smile at the stranger you regularly pass, who will then no longer be a stranger. Follow @kellybarnhill…
This. Read books. Join a choir. Invite your friends over for dinner. Paint a mural on your neighbor's garage with a bunch of kids and use it as a backdrop for the play your other neighbor wrote. Take up knitting. Give a sweater to someone asking for change. Socks too. Plant a garden. Spread beauty.
The most effective way to resist this modern brand of fascism isn't to completely immerse yourself in its propaganda. You're actually helping their message spread. Go and make art or read a book or spend time with offline people. You can't marinate in the horror and emerge unscathed.

Kind of in love with the party favors at a coworker’s baby shower. Tiny books filled with chocolate. And it’s one of my favorites, by @kellybarnhill! #mglit #kidlit

@kellybarnhill Just saw you RTed something I posted and had to let you know "The Girl Who Drank The Moon" is one of my 7 year old's favorites. He almost was Glerk for Book Character Day at school-being considered for Halloween, along w/Luna and the paper birds.

The perfect Mother's Day gift?

Mom: "Flowers? Perfume? No, my kids gave me a life-like martial arts training dummy. I spent all morning kicking and punching it as I listened to NPR."

On sale @ Dick's. Low stock in Portland and Minneapolis. Sorry #kellybarnhill
