Congratulations to @sularigentill.bsky.social, winner of The Simon & Schuster Mary Higgins Clark Award for The Mystery Writer (Sourcebooks – Poisoned Pen Press). #Edgars2025

Okay, a lot of people are expressing outrage about this, and I also feel outrage about this, but since everyone else has already expressed my feelings for me, I'm going to put on my Teacher of Analytical Thinking Pants and point out something important.

Introducing The 113th Assistant Librarian: Lost in a Book! It's being released on 30 September 2025, and pre-orders are available now! (link in bio). The stunning artwork is by Federica Frenna and the design is by unparalleled Kristy Lund-White and I can't wait to have it in my hands!

Just read the blurb for @janecaro.bsky.social 's new thriller, Lyrebird, and am quietly stunned by the brilliance of that premise ... 🤩 www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/...

Had a wonderful time at the opening of @qbdbooks Greensborough Plaza with three incredible wordsmiths! Lovely to meet Laura McClusky, Mark Smith and Geoff Parkes, as well as the friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Oh wow! The 113th Assistant Librarian made the ABIA Book of the Year for Younger Children shortlist! Congratulations to the other nominees and thanks ABIA 🙏

Me when I see that my neighbours in the apartment next door have motion flow on their TV 😳

Ordering a new dishwasher and came across this ever-so-helpful recommendation. Good to see that Alan is doing his share of the housework by * checks notes * writing the whitegood reviews...

“not all men” you’re right, Garrus Vakarian would never.

Can everyone please read this? Regards, a man married to a VFX artist. 👍

Absolutely floored to see The 113th Assistant Librarian shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards. Thanks to @wheelercentre.bsky.social, the State Government, Penguin Kids Australia and @mjostell.bsky.social for making such an honour possible, and congratulations to the other nominees!

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

Microsoft and Google users trying figure out how to turn off their ‘AI assistants’.

There are many writers of quality SFF - especially women - who never became celebrities and whose work imo far outstrips Gaiman's. And, yes, many - especially women - have been forgotten.

Honoured to see The 113th Assistant Librarian made the shortlist. I'm in such incredible company 📚🐱💜
