I really do like this Charlotte Brontë quote, but Jane Eyre is icky. (I said what I said.)

Now reading Fyneshade [2023] by Kate Griffin which is a pseudonym of Claire North [which also is a pseudonym, this time fir her real name - but what shall I say] and this book's again a great inventurous, ridiculous and gritty one of hers. <3

I think Amazon buying TikTok is a good idea. I certainly hope they do.

This can be an opportunity for self published authors to promote their books on that platform.

This is the #ComicBook I'm taking with me on my work trip to Nanaimo area next week. It looks interesting. I had some books gifted to me & am slowly going through them.

Saga of the #SwampThing - Book 1 - Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, and John Totleben.

Starting this #GraphicNovel - Sacco is quite brilliant in the writing field of #comics #journalism.
Not all #nonfiction books are bland & boring. His books are really interesting & blend factual text with comic #illustrations.

Janusz Andrzej Zajdel - Paradyzja

O “Paradyzji” Zajdla z 1984 roku usłyszałem w jakiejś rozmowie na temat prywatności w sieci. Czy polski pisarz przypadkiem przewidział przyszłość?

I love sharing some of my author friends with y'all. Check out J.C. Rycroft

Fantasy

JC Rycroft is a queer fantasy author living and writing on unceded Wadawurrung land in Australia. Their work draws on high and epic fantasy tropes, mixed with a dollop of queer romance, humour and wit, flawed but fabulous feminist heroes and diverse-in-all-the-ways characters, liberally sprinkled with philosophical concepts ...

Love this definition of space in Pratchett's Wings:
"There are two types of space: a) something containing nothing and b) nothing containing everything"

"Nothing containing everything." Excuse me while I go and stare out the window for a moment.

@Furthering Your writing on key points discussed in this book, "Talk" by Allison Wood Brooks, has me intrigued & wanting to read/listen to this book. I have gotten increasingly frustrated when connecting w/ others, because interactions can be dull or extractive. (I live in the US.) Understanding the dynamics of conversation in this easy, digestible way, means it will be easier for me to reflect & employ what I want to see/experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts/notes!

Reading Home by #WhitneyHanson the past few days. Normally I am not into #poetry, but I discovered her on #Instagram a few years ago and fell in love with hers. These are a few of my favorite pages from this #book.

Lately I've been craving some #Spring reads, and for me that seems to be peotry, and #HistoricalRomance #Fiction.

@bookstodon #Bookstodon #Books #SpringReads

This book. Y'all need to search it out and devour it like I am doing today. Kind of glad that we're getting another ice storm so I can stay home all day and read. But yeah, get this book. I love it!
