An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants

A screenshot of the audiobook of Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee. Itβs blue, with lighting flashing across the center and an Asian-style design above a dark blue landscape.
Text above the title reads: JADE CITY
WINNER OF THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD
2018
"An instantly absorbing tale of blood, honor, family and magic, spiced with unexpectedly tender character beats
NPR BOOKS ON JADE CITY
and the quote below: "Compelling characters and intricate worldbuilding....
I want to spend more time in Kekon."
-HANK GREEN ON JADE CITY
May my reading slump begin. Jade Legacy is impeccable. The clan is my blood! π

Kaz the black Bombay cat and me in the catio. He is standing on a lower shelf and reaching up with his front paws on my chest, looking up and into the sun. My left hand is around his back. The browns in his fur are really prominent!
Good morning from Kaz (ok this was taken yesterday evening). He loves the sun for he is a cat. #CatsofBluesky

Alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what we become when our worst enemies are ourselves.

Here are the 12 books you need to read in March 2026.
"Few authors understand the art of thrills like Daniel Kraus, and in Partially Devoured his knowledge is on full display. . . Partially Devoured is filled with grief, love, and fascination throughout every frame and word." β @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social

A hardcover of Daniel Krausβs PARTIALLY DEVOURED sits on a grey furry blanket between a skeleton hand, black jeaned-leg and my arm so I can show off a little of my octopus tattoo. I hold a black mug of coffee in my hand. The photo is edited to be dark and moody.
The #bookmail I just got from @catapultbooks.bsky.social π
PARTIALLY DEVOURED by @danielkraus.com comes out on the 10th!

Kaz the black Bombay cat sitting on the corner of the gray headboard against a white wall, up-lit by a lamp. He is begging for attention because I am playing with Ari and not him.
I havenβt posted Kaz in a few days, Iβm sorry! He was looking incredibly cute last night π₯Ή

A photograph of a white personβs hand holding the corner of THE CARTOONISTS CLUB graphic novel (uncorrected proof & not for sale) by Raina Telgemeier & Scott McCloud on a grey furry blanket. The cover features a lavender-ish to light blue gradient and four middle schoolers: Art (they/them), Makayla (she/her), Howard (he/him), and Lynda (she/her). There is also a mug of coffee to the right and a white skeleton hand to the left because why not??
I finally read this delightfully funny and informative middle grade graphic novel by Reina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud (ARC from work). I made my own comics when I was a kid and was terrible at it π

Honestly yeah, I think it would be excellent especially if you are an audiobook reader. I donβt do well with fantasy in audio on first reads π
