I don't think I followed you on TT but lo and behold you're on my Discover feed here and I see Midwest (I'm in Kansas) and Booktok... *hits follow*

I’m also in Kansas! Our family recently moved here from SD…so I still count it as Midwest. But the winters are much kinder here!

I used to know her daughter Kat. I wrote an adaptation of “Wizard of the Pigeons” for a screenplay class, no intention to produce it. Anyway, I showed it to Kat and she was like, “Did you not know that Megan Lindholm (Robin Hobb) is my mom?”
I had no idea.
I gave her the script to give to her mom.

Wow, that’s so cool! Did you ever hear back from her?

old13y3.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah, she read it and liked it.😎👍

Welcome Megan

Bluesky is most refreshing not stalemated or polluted as some of the other social media platforms.

Here is a tolerant mixture of values & uplifting behaviors.

I been here only from late November 2024

I am enjoying the faithfulness finding purpose & inspiration and sharing.

Julie Garwood was my gateway drug into romance books

Welcome! TIK TOK will be back online Monday/Tuesday. It's a PR stunt for trump. Also worth noting that Mark Cuban said he'd fund a tik tok alternative based on bluesky platform.
Side note: I love apocalyspe and sci-fi books.

midwestreading.bsky.social•34 days ago

I agree it’s a stunt. Which makes me feel like I’ll be glad I’ve moved to another app - even if it’s back. Sigh.
