I just finished THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES by @SanguMandanna and I am shook! I haven’t finished a novel since before the pandemic. Stunningly vibrant, succinct, gorgeous writing from start to finish. I just want to be best friends with Ian and Ken! #amreading

Bits & Pieces

Hosmer Dawn

Thinking about my friend Dawn Hosmer and how deeply BITS & PIECES affected me. I don’t say this abt many writers but her prose is beautiful at every level, sentence to story arc. I attended a reading in Columbus a couple years ago and got to meet her 💕 #DawnHosmer #CancerSucks

@marccold @violetbfox I second this! "Conjurers" or "conjure folk" is a term used throughout Appalachia to refer to people who practice what we might call witchcraft today. Literary warrant: Backwoods Witchcraft by Jake Richards (OCLC no 1051680905).

@adamdavidson Someone has never worked as a professional historian. My favorite example (of many great ones) that disproves your point is Jill Lepore’s BOOK OF AGES. 250 pages of endnotes. Absolutely stunning prose. Sit down.

@CFMJusticeJoy @dharmascholar @SFdirewolf @thellpsx SITTING PRETTY by Dr. Rebekah Taussig. Opened my abled eyes to just how unjust our thinking & infrastructure is. She argues that anyone who lives long enough will eventually be disabled. If ppl can’t be bothered to care abt others can’t they at least think of their own futures?
