Wish I could be there, but I know substitute host @amygoldschlager.bsky.social will help make this a most amazing evening!

I think there's still a lot to break down about the other night. But I do think this article helps really shine a light on the failings of the BBC and frankly, how everything was mishandled top down.

But not as deflated as youβd feel if someone had just removed a parasitic insect from your flesh (guess who finished reading WOLF WORM last night)?
So sad I won't be here for this, but @amygoldschlager.bsky.social will be in charge -- and she's awesome! Mark your calendars now!
This took my breath away.
Amazing news!
When you purchase the audiobook of my novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster between now and Feb. 12, β¨ 100 PERCENT β¨ of the purchase price goes to BINC, the nonprofit that helps booksellers who are having a tough time.
I love this audiobook. And BINC. It's a win-win!

You were the first person I thought of when I heard about the Books section getting cut. Iβm so sorry. Believe me, I know how few venues there are out there who pay for book reviews.
So my friend Terence and I saw @joshgondelman.bsky.social last Thursday conducting the Q&A for #Taskmaster Live at Town Hall. Tonight we saw him hosting the #WaitWait Comedy Grab Bag. Wondering how many other people also #DoubleGondeled. (He was Double Great!)
Yeah, this sucks. Itβs true I hate trying to read the menu in the dark and sign a check in the dark, but Iβd rather that than all those bright phone screens everyone else has.
Yay! I like their hibiscus and also their Mexican chocolateβIβm a fan of strong flavors. I wish theyβd bring back the doughnutaschen for Purim! (Also, their sister brand, La Newyorkina paletas, is amazing. I have horchata mini paletas in my freezer now.)
The pressureβs on!
A magnificently detailed dalek made of snow, complete with sink plunger.
My niece in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, has made a snow dalek that's featured in the Aberdeen Press and Journal. #proudaunt
I am tired of Earth. These people.
I donβt like cold marshmallows. If theyβd tried that test on me as a kid, theyβd have drawn the wrong conclusions. If theyβd used a cookie, well, not sure if Iβd have passed or not.
We love Caitlin! Sheβs reading here in Brooklyn soon!
Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York
A dog, a tribble, and David Gerroldβs legs at Barrows Intense in Brooklyn.
In case you missed it on my Facebook, here is a dog in a Brooklyn bar who also loves tribbles. The dog also loved David Gerrold, who was reading that evening. (I was guest hosting.)
Authors CSE Cooney, Georgia Day, David Gerrold, and Keith R.A. DeCandido at Brooklyn Books & Booze on 12/16 at 7pm

Dog-Bitch Bess for the win!
I donβt know the song at all, but itβs obvious how to parse that lyric. Where was the copy editor to explain the difference between like the verb and like the preposition? Were they overruled?
I just donated to Twisted Spine Books and I think you should, too, if youβve got a little to spare: www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...
