I did not intend to watch all of Ride or Die S1 in a day, but I was powerless against middle-aged female friendship & also some assassins.
Thrilled to learn there's going to be an English edition of Hideko Mizuno's Fire!, a late 60s precursor to the revolutionary shojo manga of Moto Hagio and Keiko Takemiya. I saw some panels in a traveling exhibit in 2006 and have been longing for it ever since.
Fire! by Hideko Mizuno
Fire! follows the meteoric rise and fall of Aaron Browning, a troubled and poor Ohio teenager. In juvenile detention, Aaron meets the magnetic delinquent Fire Wolf—a motorcycle-riding rebel with an ex...

Soon to depart for Readercon. Very grey & muggy out; trying to decide whether it's worth lugging the umbrella everywhere for a weekend to avoid five blocks' worth of walking in the rain.
I would be all over this had I not already bought them all in MMPB. www.humblebundle.com/books/tanith...

#TheVampireLestat "Thomas Pitty he's a whore" is Lestat's absolute best one-liner
Excited that I have already read 4 of them, which is probably the best showing than I've had for an awards shortlist for at least a decade.
Ursula K. Le Guin@ursulakleguin.com · last mo.We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:
##TheVampireLestat No one whose first language is French has any business criticizing English for silent letters.
once again I am recommending My Adventures with Superman to everyone who liked the sweetness & earnestness of David Corenswet's Superman. It is charming! It moves fast! In S2, an interdimensional alliance of Lois Lanes saves the universe and also Clark!
Reading a work of pop literary criticism & I want to highlight nearly every sentence with "citation not found".
Ep 3 of The Vampire Lestat is excellent but really earns the sexual violence warning HBO offers.
#widowsbay #widowsbayfinale Can PJ be the next sacrifice, that kid is the worst
has Jennifer Ehle ever been anything but perfect in any role. All signs point to no.
Ramps season is over, so I am trying breakfast quinoa & garlic scapes as a replacement for breakfast quinoa & ramps. It is okay but it is not as transcendent as ramps. 😭
TV updates: Happy Lestat week. Alas not into everyone's new fave, Widow's Bay, except for the Patricia episode, which I adore. Very happy to see Tatiana Maslany do her thing in Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, not sure why everyone is calling it a comedy. Possibly I just have no sense of humor.

why did not one tell me there's a new Bora Chung translation by Anton Hur coming out in October
I have sorted by things that got 1 vote each and added 3 things to my Overdrive wishlist. These lists always make me incredibly curious about their likes in other languages, because even when the venues don't specify "in English", the lists end up weighted that way.
