seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

I have been sitting here wondering why I haven't gotten any email from BN about my Holy Terrors preorder getting ready to ship or anything on my bank account about a pending transaction and I finally realized - I PREORDERED IT OVER A YEAR AGO AND THE CARD ON THE BILLING IS NO LONGER ACTIVE CAUSE MY BANK MERGED WITH ANOTHER AND I NEVER REALIZED THAT IT WAS STILL TRYING TO CHARGE THAT CARD 😭

Now that @illumicrate has announced their special edition of Holy Terrors, I can share the art I did for the printed hard case! I wanted to go all out and end this story with a bang, so I hope this is everything y’all were hoping for in more ways than one! Preorders will open in February, so keep an eye out!

That’s right, folks, we’re doing a preorder pin for Holy Terrors, and you get to pick the design! Voting is open here and on my instagram, and will close on January 27! (The longest Tumblr will let me run a poll is a week, but fear not, I'll sort something out.)
The winning pin will be announced February 3rd, so vote for your fave while the polls are still open!

Hey folks, I'm going to share this here too in case it reaches new folks: I'm fine, but my uncle and aunt lost their home in the Palisades fire. They were in one of the mobile home parks next to the mouth of Temescal canyon, which leases spaces to (mostly senior) residents, so their insurance is only going to pay for the lost house. They're staying with friends currently, but when, where, even if they'll be able to rebuild is completely up in the air.
So I'm going to ask for any help folks can give, but I want you to know who you're helping too. Uncle Sandy is an absurd pianist (I have a video from this past February of him, at a sprightly 72, playing a grand piano and electric keyboard simultaneously, one with each hand), Aunt Laura is a volunteer docent at the Getty and possibly the kindest and most gracious woman imaginable, and one of their ongoing projects has been transcribing the diary of our union medic ancestor, Henry. The diary documents what appears to be a romantic relationship with his fellow medic, and may be one of the few accounts of a same-sex relationship from that period that aren't prison records. They've been working with historical experts to document, analyze, and release the diary with the care it deserves, because of the importance it could have to queer history.
Which is why they made it out of the Palisades with their dog, an antique pocketwatch from my grandmother, the clothes on their backs... and the diary. And not a whole lot else. That's who they are.
If you'd like to help us keep them afloat while we figure out what's next, here's their GoFundMe. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had my qualms about Fourth Wing because I've read a lot of overhyped books that did not live up to expectations.
Glad to say it's definitely worth the hype so far.

The narrator of this audiobook did not just mispronounce Roald Dahl as "Ronald Dahl".
What publisher let that through???

I didn't catch this the first time reading Enchanted, Inc but I've since worked on a production of Damn Yankees. It was the Washington Senators that were referenced in that show - specifically the team that went on to become the Minnesota Twins. Well okay I'm assuming this since the musical was written in the 1950s and it was in 1960 that the Senators became the Twins. But then in 1961 a new Washington Senators team was established, and this one later became the Texas Rangers. So yeah different team lol.
Anyway I just went through wikipedia looking all this up cause I was like "nope that's not right wonder why the author might have thought that oh that's why." Gotta check dates!

It might be time for a reread of this series. It's been on my mind a lot lately for some reason. Cheesy but sweet what can I say?

I started listening to Shatter Me a while ago and at first it was like "man I hate this narrator's high pitched voicr but damn can she get the emotion across" and i think it did more for the prose for me than just reading it would
But then Warner entered the picture and instead of it being like "okay now lets get this plot moving" it was....not. I got bored which sucks cause I liked the writing style but it feels like nothing is actually happening in this story.
Oh well

#let me tell you i got so angry at a customer once who said audiobooks didnt count as reading#she was a TEACHER#i told her 'well some people can't see well so they have to find other means of reading'#not everyone can concentrate with the written word#sometimes they do better with oral storytelling#freeing up their hands to do other mindless tasks#like who are you to judge what does and does not count as reading? do they comprehend the story? thats all that matters in the end
