This is horrific on so many levels. Shame on you, Chicago Sun-Times. As others have so rightly said, there are countless smart and well-read humans who would have created a robust list of REAL and worthy books for free.

Love this! I think I’ll move there…😀

Posting a pic of Dodger because I needed a cute cat pic today; maybe you do too.

A big loss to the book community.

So fun to watch Younger again. It gets so much of the book publishing biz wrong, but some rings true. Cracking up over this quote from Lauren: “Promoting books at a time when people can just as easily join an Oculus orgy feels a bit like magic, but I’m a witch…”

Yay, so glad!

I liked the Yankees’ clean shaven policy; sorry to see it go.
