Look at us C.S. Lewis-ing.
🌟🌟

When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.

#SundaySentence from The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

“It’s easy to charm a person who talks too much: all you have to do is listen.”

A special episode w/journalist & author @danrobson.bsky.social. We talk about his latest co-authored memoir, Hammered: The Fight of My Life by Dave “The Hammer” Schultz.
A candid & compelling memoir by a hockey great. Terrific convo, give a listen.

E171 is up & running: bit.ly/4r9nkeY
Huge thanks to author Eleanor Shearer for joining me to talk about her beautiful new novel, Fireflies in Winter.

We talk about the Jamaican Maroon colony, her research for this book, her lovely prose, what she’s working on next, & more! Give a listen. #booksky

This looks terrific!

Is it lying when one knows how one wants things to turn out and then says what is needed to achieve that result?

Another #SundaySentence from VIGIL by George Saunders.

Came here to see if anyone else heard that exchange. Thank you!

So pretty. Be gentle to yourself. xo

Such a great feeling!

Gosh, I still have these wee books. Thanks for the much needed smile. ☃️

It’s really something. 💫

Greed, greed, one could taste it in the air.

#SundaySentence from VIGIL by George Saunders.

There’s a veritable treasure trove of sentences in this one.

THEY TRIED TO GET A WARRANT TO CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THEY SHOT DEAD

It’s terrific. I mean, of course it is, lol.

Loved this book with my whole heart.

“But to me, it's becoming clear that writing and reading is a way of simply underscoring that human connection is important, that you can know my mind and I can know yours, which is a vastly consoling idea, and we need it.”
#SundaySentence from George Saunders Is No Saint, NYT Magazine 1/18/2026.

I started the audiobook of Hammered: The Fight of My Life by Dave Shultz (with Dan Robson), and beautifully narrated by Wayne Ward.
Raw, honest, & heartbreaking. Schultz holds nothing back in the telling of his story. Can't wait to listen to more.
Don’t miss it. #BookSky
