"i don't rank literature"
"good luck finding a working woman in literary fiction, i'll wait"
"i've never been a genre snob"
"storm with a mohawk"

marlon james speaking my language at @prhlibrary.bsky.social book and author festival

the most evil guy in the country wants to feed everything you've ever done into a machine that replicates you so he can eliminate you, and some people still walk around saying "well, there ARE some uses for this technology"

Them: "Why did your productivity come to an abrupt halt?"

Me: "I was writing my to-do list with a specific pen and now I can't find it."

did a desk tidy before i left for #pla2026 and left a few wrapped candies next to my computer for future use. in my absence they were stolen by something that also ate expensive earbuds and abandoned one item en route to their destination 🐭 🍬 🎧

The world has massive problems, but I hate it when a new downloaded book opens to page 1. Sir, I want to see the cover and the title page and the copyright year and the dedication. Don’t be telling me what I can and cannot skip when I’m the one reading the book.

Screeching into the session on Nonfiction Readers' Advisory, which is a very elusive topic and the reason I met @surlyspice.bsky.social #pla2026

Coming up from @sohopress.bsky.social, a new @robyngigl.bsky.social! *All We Hide* - A trans detective takes on the cold case murder of a local trans woman & her investigation unravels the threads of a county-wide conspiracy as well as a personal mystery that’s haunted her since childhood. #pla2026

From @ssedlib.bsky.social:
*The Burning Side* by Sarah Damoff - alternating perspectives, FIRE, marriage
*The Castle & The Cloister* by Laura E. Weymouth -
"The Priory of the Orange Tree meets Black Sun" - fantasy without a lot of romance #pla2026

I LOVE hearing authors talking about their work, even if their books aren’t the sort of thing I would ever read! One of the best things about conferences. #pla2026

Listening to a panel of authors talk about their ideas and their books and trying to imagine what the AI-fueled writer would have to say… “uh, I’m really pleased with the way I wrote that prompt. Yeah, you can hardly tell whose work I’m ripping off…” #pla2026

Thanks to the #pla2026 provision of popcorn for afternoon snack, @surlyspice.bsky.social and I now know definitively that she eats popcorn twice as fast as I can

omg you guys i just love a book buzz #pla2026

Analog as a privacy feature" is a great mental shift. In 2026, e-readers track everything from reading speed to highlighted passages for ad targeting. Print isn't just tactile; it’s an encrypted offline database that doesn't report back to a mother ship. Happy stealth reading!

Every Story Matters, Every Body Belongs: Fat Inclusive Libraries #pla2026

Use of "fat" as a neutral descriptor vs. "ob*se" or "overw*ight," terms that are rooted in racism and anti-blackness and used to pathologize fat people. Fat is not a feeling, it's a physical state of a body.
