@bluejo.bsky.social Will there be an April 2025 Jo Walton Reads on Tor this month? I get so many great books from your column I always look forward to reading it. Thanks!

@hryanjones.bsky.social The completion board isn't showing up for me today on either normal or hard setting

Well, she's right about how good you are and I love reading you both!

I realize now that I should have made it clear that this was a very nice review and it was safe to read!

Jo Walton’s Reading List: March 2025 - Reactor Rainbow Rowell, Plato, and a call for romantasy/cosy fantasy recs!

You and me both

I read them back-to-back because I remembered absolutely nothing from reading Dickens 40 years ago. The way Kingsolver overlays the new version where it's exactly the same except completely different is astonishing. Hers is amazing and moving (and so depressing I'll never reread it)

@hryanjones.bsky.social Thanks for the heads up, I will use Bluesky if I need to contact you about Guess My Word. And thanks for the daily puzzles!

@levgrossman.bsky.social you should definitely solve the WSJ variety acrostic this week www.wsj.com/articles/the...

If I gave you...

_ EV _
_ AB _
_ UO _

... you could fill in the blanks with the same two letters, B and Y, to get the words BEVY, BABY, and BUOY.

What pairs of letters do you need to make common words from the following?

1.
_ AF _
_ ES _
_ RI _

2.
_ AL _
_ NE _
_ IT _

3.
_ OM _
_ RO _
_ UL _

You can do it! Remember to look at the title!

Thank you!

@bluejo.bsky.social I've been searching for your monthly reading list on Reactor but their search function only returns results thru Dec 2023 even though I know you have written every month in 2024. Wondering what the heck? And is there a July 2024 column? I love your reading list, I miss it!

@joshuakosman.bsky.social Thanks for the nudge on the Gaffney today at Westwords, that did the trick. What a fun day! I sure hope this becomes an annual event. #westwords

Thank you, I appreciate these so much! I've gotten several recommendations from you that I've given to my book club, and we've enjoyed reading them (like Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont.) The other women want to know where I'm getting my ideas from but you are my secret book reviewer!

I pop the vacuum seal by using the pointy end of a church key under the lid. Once the vacuum is gone I never have any trouble unscrewing my glass jars. Doesn't work on things like plastic peanut butter jars though.

But... but... I want it now?

That's why I play the M-W Blossom game instead, it's limited to the 12 best words. So much less time-consuming!

I hadn't even realized it until my friend pointed it out, I nearly always get the purple first!

Moomin! Moomin! Moomin! The Snork Maiden! Thingummy and Bob! Moomins are the best!

I mean, it still won't give me the option to give up!

I still can't get the answer!

@kenjennings.bsky.social The Kennections answer is still wrong! (it's from last week)

Told me my answer for the connection was incorrect and when I finally gave up it provided last week's answer!

@kenjennings.bsky.social I love Half Truth, will there be refill cards at any point?
