Hey, romance readers with chronic illness! What kind of rep do you hope to see in the next couple years? Not just specific dx, but also certain lifestyles, relationships with families, doctors, homebound days, mobility aids, inclusion of Covid reality, etc? Curious of your interests πŸ‘€ #BookSky

This is why I’ve railed against AI for years, as I’ve been seeing my students’ abilities to create, critically think, analyze, weigh evidence, write analytically all wither away in this zombification trend. They’re creating the permanent underclass.

Tubi body horror ad so repulsive I'm actually less likely to use a website I previously had no beef with

Good news! (And don't we need some?) @bookshop-org.bsky.social has an app! We can now buy ebooks from them! Which means supporting indie bookshops! Woo hoo! It's very elegant and a pleasure to read on. Top marks from me.

Awwww yeah the #QueerLiberationLibrary has my book HOT SPRING REMEDY now 😎😎😎 Hopefully a fun escapist read for folks who might be dreaming of ditching the US (so that they can live with their hot best friend in rural Japan ofc) #romancelandia #qll #mmromance

What I valued about lit class was exploring stories beyond just "I love/hate this." That being said: LOVED Ovid, Catullus, Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespeare, The Sound and the Fury, Jane Eyre, All the President's Men, Amy Tan Loathed: Heart of Darkness, Mark Twain

Floofer tush.

If you're having a snow day today, maybe you'll enjoy cozying up with a wintery #MMromance β„οΈπŸ΅πŸ“š: www.goodreads.com/book/show/21... #booksky

Lots of reverse culture shock during the blizzard today. After living for years on the border of Snow County in Japan, I got used to: when it snows, everyone is out early to shovel, to pour water on the snow, rinse and repeat until the storm stops.

I've reached peak friendship levels with my BFF. We got each other the same book for Christmas. #booksky

Are you holiday shopping? Books are always a great gift idea! FEATURED NEW RELEASES: Home Between Homes, by Flynn Woods and Hot Spring Remedy, by @maerossiauthor.bsky.social FEATURED DEAL: Right As Raine, by @lucylennox.bsky.social πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ https://tinyurl.com/report121724

M/m winter romance!

FYI for Washingtonians, Whole Washington is a group trying to get single-payer healthcare off the ground and they need support, both in the form of monetary donations and volunteer labor! If you want healthcare reform, this is a way to work toward it directly. wholewashington.org

But if youre not on social media then how can you promote the book you dont have the time or focus to write because you're always on social media

people say β€œyou need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Ummm big news. Selfishly delighted to say I bought some bird toys on my local zoo's gift wishlist and the zookeepers have taken pics of parrots playing with their new toys 😭😭😭😭 If the holidays are hard for you I 1000000% recommend buying parrots some presents

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the β€œdeals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

I got a very slow-paced part-time job at a library, and I am fully planning to use the time to write novels. Very excited to report back in X months/years to let you know how this works out. #romancelandia

TJ Alexander is on a roll and I am HERE for it.

Pre-ordering the sapphic romances I want to see in the world. (I love to see mainstream publishing hype for a sapphic romance. Still novel to me. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...)

Also weird to pay someone thousands of dollars to use AI to publish your book when you could give that money to artists and models, etc, to get a KILLER book cover. I don't understand why any author would do this even if they weren't anti-AI.

What movie made you ugly cry 😭

I've seen 107 movies so far this year (it was my NY's resolution to watch more/better movies). If you send me a number from 1-107 I'll tell you what film that was and give a mini review. #filmsky
