Oh, do romance readers read too much? Of the wrong kind of books, you say? In the wrong kind of language, you say? Are they too easy, too sexy, too fun, too silly? And we’re pretending this is not The argument that people have made against romance since (checks library) 1785?

Yes

Love it! So gorgeous! 😍

ICE cannot be reformer. DHS was poison from the beginning.

Abolish ICE
Dismantle DHS.
Prosecute every person who violated the law or abused the public trust.

Recently read! I took a break from my 1950's pulp novels to read a historical romance from 2013 after binging a ton of Bridgerton. This is a delightful novella & my 1st read by this author. I grabbed a couple more of hers since reading this & look forward to diving into those soon😄💜📚 #booksellerJaya

Trust me, as an Indian who watched the transformation of storied and principled newspapers like Indian Express (hello the arc of WaPo) and even more recent outlets like NDTV into regime propaganda in real time, it really really matters. Dictators do propaganda because it works.

Have I taken to curating my bookcase and desk at work? Oh yes, I have. I've been at Consortium/Ingram for two years now and I'm loving it. Getting to work with over 100 publishers on their new books is such a joy. Really looking forward to many more years and books to come! 😄💜

I feel this too. Same goes for Goodreads.

Do I need coffee? No. But, do I want coffee? Oh yes.

This is extremely Not Good. I know that stolen artefacts are easy targets for museum criticism, but this sort of blatant erasure is much, much worse. It might be slightly easier to sway by public outcry, though, so: cry out.
