Absolutely banning anyone from saying a book is βlike Project Hail Maryβ if the only connection is Outer Space. Does your book contain two alien soulmates finding each other and deciding to spend their lives together forever??? No?? Then you have missed what the story is.

Listen up bitches, this is serious. Hereβs the plan for tomorrow morning. No exceptions. Everyone shows up. Weβre gonna tumble out of bed. Weβre gonna stumble to the kitchen. And weβre gonna pour ourselves a cup of goddamn ambition. Because weβve got dreams theyβll never take away. Lock in.
Live your life so that you are remembered like Dolly Parton. She did so much for so many. Was a trailblazer for women songwriters. Made sure we had the covid vaccine. Changed dropout rates in TN and gave books to kids. What a legacy.
Shoutout to the allergic reaction Iβm having just in time for Edinburgh, love to turn up looking like a measles warning poster ππππ
1. Everythingβs coming up Millhouse! 2. This lesbian bar doesnβt have a fire exit 3. I could sure go for 100 tacos right now 4. They have the internet on computers now 5. You canβt use the word Sex on the internet
Ben Baker@benbaker.bsky.social Β· yesterdayThe 5 Simpsons lines Iβve uttered most off the top of my head 1. He did say "well" a lot. 2. Man Alive...there are men alive in here! 3. ...smiling politely. 4. And you should win things by watching. 5. Endut! Hoch Hech!

If youβre the person who decided to put the sticky waist-trainers on the bananas, count your days and sleep with one eyes open.
We saw Coyote vs Acme and here is my review:
Three story ideas in this, all fighting for dominance and none of them won. Frankly terrible worldbuilding, full of obvious holes that felt annoying instead of eerie. Disappointed tbh, donβt see what the hype is about at all.
Less than a week to go until Edinburgh! Tickets still available: www.edbookfest.co.uk/events/findi...
I could honestly write a PhD on how the Project Hail Mary fandom has taken all three forms of the story and weβve Frankensteinβed them together so theyβre all simultaneously canon and it somehow all happened.
Donβt want to alarm anyone but itβs so cold this morning that the car is sat steamed up on the drive. Hello autumn I guess.

Two more sleeps until school starts !!
All Iβm saying is, if there had been an Eva Stratt on Earth 828, the Earth-transportation device would have been completed and activated WAY before the Silver Surfer ever got close to destroying it
We didnβt get an alert because we still have access to rain and green grass, but I am feeling a bit left out
Ironically that alert just made me drop my portable bbq onto my firework collection
If I cancel one of my library holds I should get to move up a position in one of the other queues as a reward
