since #MSWL day coincides perfectly with my birthday week: send me your brilliantly written adult fiction featuring mermaids (real or imagined), boarding school teachers, hedge mazes, tea parties, old hotels & historic manses, and/or summer stock theater!

I wish that fewer people needed this book, but I'm so glad it will exist for all of us who do. There is no better person than @Carlafernandez to teach us about renegade grief & all that comes with it.

2023’s stack nicely captures the full spectrum of my literary loves: gorgeous queer literary fiction, warm & witty romance, and of course, great butts in art. 🍑 🩻 🎭 stay tuned for much more goodness to come in 2024 & beyond.📚🚀

just a few reasons to save the USPS: indie bookstores + indie presses; literary magazines; small businesses + makers; rural communities; people in prison; carriers who’ve spent their entire careers making sure we get our birthday cards + prescriptions + college acceptances...

Cannot overstate how catastrophic it would be for indie bookstores if the USPS disappears
