I read 6 books in July! Wow! That is way more than I thought I read, especially since I took 2 full weeks off to listen to a new album and didn't read at all. 4

Have you read? The Worth of Ashes by Amanda Helms at PodCastle A story that grew from 750 words to 4400 about a woman who has to choose whether to keep part of her family or let them go for the survival of her children. podcastle.org/2026/04/14/p...

I laughed so hard I cried when I saw this elsewhere. Worth a watch. And please find a home for as many small press books as you can.

About a month ago, my partner & I went to the drive-in (I didn't know these still existed and it's a favorite part of living on this coast now) We were planning on seeing a double feature: Disclosure Day and Backrooms.

But also, we have a new animal companion, a frog or toad (I think it's a toad but I'm in a whole new area of the county so who knows what they look like here!) They come out at night to eat bugs. We're very protective of our new frog/toad friend. My partner has put out a little hut for it.

I should be reading the ARCs I have for books that released 2 days ago and the one for next week. I read Codex because I'm still catching up after closing a tab in February (only 10 days behind now!)

Have you read? Ascension by P.L. McMillan at Apex A story of sacrificing everything to reach a goal that will make it all worthwhile. www.apexbookcompany.com/blogs/apex-m...

I watched Jurassic Park several times over the past few years, partially because the novel I wrote in 2024 is about the aftermath billionaires creating dinosaurs again, but I'm putting it on tonight again.

Hello new friends from the @writehive.bsky.social conference this weekend! (And old friends.) I am currently barely doing any social media except for being random at this point.

The Predicting the Future panel is excellent (if I do say so myself as the moderator.) Valerie Valdes, Robert K Jeffrey II, and Cristina Jurado were fantastic in discussion about the topics. You can register (for free) and be in the Discord by morning!

I missed my first quarter reading reflection, but I'm catching up! Here's how the first half of my year of reading looked: adriabailton.com/reading-refl...

Well I needed to read this.

Have you read? The Griffin on the Ceiling by Melanie Rose Huff at Inner Worlds A story of knowing when it's time to go. inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-10-the...
