BEST LINE: JANE EYRE As a teenager, I cheered at this line. As a college student, I criticized it as sexist. As a professional writer, I admire its staying power as a catchphrase. #booksky ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

Sharing for my fellow writers and editors. As someone who collaborates on text for a living, this has been driving me bonkers.

BEST LINE: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. Mood. #bluesky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

The movie weโ€™re living everyday. Although the line I hear in my mind is: โ€œNow we see the violence inherent in the system!โ€

BEST LINE: RED CLAY The women in this novel are *fierce* #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Support your locally-owned independent bookstore! #BookSky #Read #Rebel #Resist #RaiseHell

BEST LINE: RETURNING TO MY FATHERโ€™S KITCHEN Topics in this essay collection range from family to identity to a writerโ€™s life. This line really spoke to me. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

It will be up to the creatives to write the plot twist out of this mess.

BEST LINE: THE ADVENTURES OF MARY DARLING Heads up, Peter Pan. Mary Darling is coming after her children, and sheโ€™s not messing around. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

BEST LINE: LITTLE WOMEN Jo, Jo! Thatโ€™s a valid choice! #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

And donuts. Even a ghost needs carbs.

BEST LINE: ENTHEOPHAGE The best line in any spec fic story is the one that sidles right up next to real life. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š @dremadeoraich.bsky.social

BEST LINE: LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY Truth. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Just Be Nice is the lie we were peddled for decades. It allowed us to absolve ourselves personally without acknowledging the structural reality of racism.

Two novels, one cover artist, same theme: the patriarchy is willing and able to burn it all down.

BEST LINE: OONA OUT OF ORDER Iโ€™m currently a cat gal, yet I know this is true. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

The continuing adventures of one badass, female, midwestern sheriff!

Repost with a favorite book from childhood.

A visitor to my apartment once mocked the number of books I owned. She was not invited back.

BEST LINE: MADAME BOVARY If Emma Bovary became a super villain, this would be her origin story #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Super atmospheric story by my agency sib. Youโ€™ll swear you hear the katydids.

BEST LINE: OF MICE AND MEN No matter how many times I read the novel, this line makes me cry #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

BEST LINE: ANXIOUS PEOPLE Once I pushed the swing too hard and sent my preschooler child flying. Pretty sure everyone in Manhattan saw it. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Positive community for the win.

BEST LINE: THE NEST Iโ€™m on Team Brooklyn all the way, but I love this line because it tells you so much about the character โ€“ a snob so sure heโ€™s right he assumes everyone who says different must be fibbing.ย ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #booksky

BEST LINE: ARE YOU THERE, GOD? ITโ€™S ME, MARGARET I love this line because it was penned in 1972, and yet it is timeless. Girls and their mothers argue over fashion. โ€˜Twas ever thus.ย ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #booksky

Good advice.

BEST LINE: THE HANDMAIDโ€™S TALEย ย This is the scariest line in the book. The enemy infiltrates and attacks from within. #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š
