Hey pals,
We are surrounded by love and support and we are okay, but our books experienced some casualties.
On our website under HATE CRIME the damaged books are all listed. A 20% off discount will automatically apply, light coffee damage on these.

"Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and INFINITELY more." There's always more for him to do, and he realizes meeting immediate need is not enough.
if your book is pirated you didn't lose a sale, you gained a reader; they were never going to make that purchase. deal. if your contract with your distribution platform penalizes YOU for the inherent vice of having a product on the world wide web you need to get a better contract

the eternal trap of will they/won't they is that the one interpersonal conflict that defined two characters' relationship is suddenly resolved with nothing satisfying to replace it

Why does she arrange her bookshelf like it's a bookstore 😭and wouldn't it be less counter productive to turn around the ones you HAVE read

For so long, the Blue Whale was considered the protector of fishing boats among Icelandic fisherman. Now it is a species that needs to be protected by us

I love how wide + wonderful the indie publishing world is, and want my work to have all kinds of homes all over the place. Watching the wholesale terraforming of e-publishing from the internet of even ten years ago is tough. We got to fight for little presses everywhere

🌸💕💐🌸I hope all my moots are having a lovely weekend and enjoying their Sunday! I hope you're looking forward to a calming book, a good cup of tea, or a quiet moment dreaming while listening to classical music on vinyl before having a fresh start to your week ahead 🌸💐💕🌸

my friend is so excited to start the show on the promise of zoyalai and I can't even break it to him... every day he's like 'i'm so excited to see them interact, what a great pair' 😅
idk who needs to hear this today but feminine/feminized doesn't equate to good and masculine doesn't mean bad. It's a false dichotomy created to enforce the language of eugenics and to always push violence onto more marginalized bodies, esp those who are trans and nb.

💙please treat yourself kindly as we get closer to the holidays. no pressure to do more than you can. surround yourself w/ things that make you happy/calm. escape into a good book, movie, or downtime w/ friends. don't ask why/how did I mess up? Instead, focus on simply living.💙

There are so many kids who are denied food at home who would not make a blip in means testing. Making sure children have access to resources independent of their families is paramount to preventing abuse

I think about this all the time. Even hunchback of notre dame isn’t so keen to critique a religion that people really practice like princess and the frog (in the source material Frollo is a priest) obviously patf has a lot of other issues but this bothered me so much
"not liking/reading classics" still makes you a reader but consider; the opposite is ALSO true, if you mainly read classics you're SO valid and you SHOULD be encouraged to read a wide variety of books INCLUDING classics (not just the 20 bktwt popular romances)
🌸🌺✨✨🌸✨good morning, if you're seeing this, remember to take a lil stretch, drink some water, read a few pages of a book, or take a walk and find something beautiful in nature today🌸✨🌸✨✨🌸✨

💙🥰✨🌸that project you're working on? you're gonna nail it. The exam you took? you're gonna ace it. the thing coming up that's making u anxious, esp as the semester ends? take a deep breath and do your best-- you're already working so hard and I'm so proud of you💙🌸✨💙
The value of your bookshelf isn't how many books you buy or how expensive they are, how color-coded or how trendy, but how read they are--how worn, analyzed, studied, dreamed about, and of course, loved. A book must be loved to be truly yours.

“How despicably have I acted!” she cried. “I, who have prided myself on my discernment! I, who have valued myself on my abilities! who have often disdained the generous candour of my sister, and gratified my vanity in useless or blameless distrust."

People flippant like 'Oh, just move!' Move where, where in the USA would be the sanctuary from this? What's happening in red states will happen on a federal level because of government complacency.
It's HERE. After a very long overhaul, come and visit my site. Read my work, check out my publications, and learn about HOT LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER QUARTERLY (a new litmag for sexy tentacles, fatal icebergs, and cableknit sweaters)
and you or your publisher need to market your work to a paying audience more effectively. if profit is what you're chasing, stop looking for ubiquity and clout. stop pretending to be an artist or a storyteller and hire that PR firm. that's it!
hey oomfies for pride month if you rep hp (the book about a trust fund kid in magical england, not the sauce) and/or use your religion as an excuse to 'not support lgbtq+' you can softblock, you can full block! I genuinely didn't mean to follow a bigot! my bad!

academics like this who think 'separating emotional from logical' also tend to have little compassion for the needs of their students and foster an environment where ableism and fear of being sick/ill is rampant.

Having read so many books from the 18th century where quotation marks were not in use I can confidently say we don’t want a return to that barbaric format

I always thought phoenix buchanan was a pointed satire of a certain directing actor who was recently donned the moustache. Loved that detail

Normalize "that book destroyed me, even though I haven't read it in a while and can't remember EVERY detail and now because you're talking about it with the same pull of abject melancholy I will go back, read it again, and fall in love all over again."

apparently, (and a very cute reason, too), the ears are like That to conserve heat (i.e. longer ears, more heat expended) so fuzzy lil doughnut ears actually give bears extra warmth so they may romp around the forest as they please 🐻🧸
Reading books aloud and audiobooks are a different and vital way of absorbing a story. There are many poems, plays, and novels out there that were designed to be shared like this. The solitude of reading a book alone is beautiful but also limiting.
And I have to say, if you sold your soul to be distributed by an evil, unethical company like am*zon, then don't blame your readers when the devil comes to collect

In case you want to keep your revenant friend undead a little while longer for a romantic night in, remember to keep garlic, mustardseeds, rosewater, lemons, salt and cinnamon off the menu! Also, silverware and chopsticks are probably a no... Charcuterie?

. You would have been proud at how far queer joy has come to be celebrated and how hard we continue to fight for representation.🥀🌈📚🎉

medical malpractice can lead to huge loss and even death, and this extends to therapy. Would you rather no surgery or a botched one?

: Preparing a basket the night before, then waking up early and seeing the sun rise over high tide. Having breakfast while reading the Romantic poets together out-loud. Engaging in thoughtful conversation. Writing poems of your own.

Normalize having your psychological mess in some way embodied by the opera/symphony/ballet/play you have attended with a circle of friends including the object of your affection, who's been looking at you between movements.
