On en profite pour discuter du regain de popularité du genre en français !

"L'amour affecte l'espace-temps. Quand on aime, chaque seconde est une éternité ; quand deux êtres se touchent, chaque caresse porte en elle la charge de toute une histoire. (...) C'est une réalité physique."

Valid by Chris Bergeron.
One ERead Canada pick.
Canadians! is anyone else reading Valide by Chris Bergeron? I'm tentatively encouraged by a trans book of warning being held in this moment. Toronto Public Library only has the audiobook in the original French so me, my disability, & my French immersion are all the way in

I love using libby, especially since I recently figured out I could get an Edmonton Public Library card as a U of Alberta student, it’s been a GAME CHANGER for reading on my kobo! I’m reading Blood Like Magic rn (LOVING it), and hoping to start Babel this weekend!

If it weren’t obvious that the U.S. is now a dictatorship.
Ouiiii! Un essai en 2025 et un roman dans le monde de Valide en 2026!
I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by MY DNA, CHOCOLATE and MY HUMAN IMAGINATION.

Be soft.
Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
Iain Thomas
We will never out republican republicans.
Democrats should be the party that helps people- and starts with those struggling the most for the common good.
Anyone missing this point should be fired from “strategizing” for the party.
Totally Not-Fun Facts: 13 of the 14 books banned by Utah's new book-banning legislation are written by women, and none of the books are pornography, despite "they contain pornographic material" being the justification for banning them. #booksky #librarians #bookban #nobookban

Thank you so much. It was great meeting you.

Jeff Vandermeer, a white-haired man, and me, a dark-haired woman, sitting side by side in front of a poster for his novel Absolution. we both wear glasses and are smiling.
went to the launch of Absolution tonight in Montreal and got to babble incoherently at @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social 🫣 such a fun, lively and interesting discussion between him and @chrisbergeron.bsky.social, whose novel Valid I can't wait to read!
Vivement ce soir. Looking forward to my conversation with Jeff VanderMeer tonight.
