(If I got angry at myself for being angry I would be angry constantly and I wouldn’t have time to think about anything else.) (Wait, I think I am angry constantly. That might explain a lot.)

I need goodreads to stop sending me notifications about my end of year summary!! I have 13 more days left to meet this reading goal!! I’m mentally hanging by a thread and seeing “better luck next year” on my silly reading goal might just be enough to send me over the edge!!

It's a good day to be a New Jerseyan. PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed a law Monday to prohibit public and school libraries from banning books in the state and to enshrine protections against civil and criminal charges for librarians who comply with the law.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

been seeing a lot of bookish influencers doing ads for book shopping on amazon for black friday. reminder ‼️ that amazon workers are striking from now until monday for better work treatment and indie bookstores exist, most have online stores, & are probably having black friday sales too 🫶🏾 #booksky

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

my head says 'Nicole you really won't need this many books when what we call civilization collapses and you're On the Road and have run out of practical goods to barter' but my heart says 'buy them all'

If you don’t have a local indie nearby or can’t make it to one, please use bookshop.org. You can link your purchase to an independent bookstore near you or just one you’d like to support. It is okay for a package to take 5-7 days instead of 1-3. #booksky

Apropos of nothing, anybody who says that audiobooks aren’t “real” reading or that people who use them aren’t “real” readers can kiss both my ass and my royalty statement.
