What are you all reading? This month, I finished the excellent Babel by @rfkuang.bsky.social and Extremity by @bingewriting.bsky.social, and I just started A Palace Near the Wind by @aijiang.bsky.social and The Book of Fallen Leaves by @astamaki.bsky.social.

My November Reading Wrap-Up! I had four 5 star reads but my favourite of the month was definitely The Book of Fallen Leaves by @astamaki.bsky.social I’m starting off December by continuing reading The Swan’s Daughter by Roshani Chokshi which so far is a whimsical, magical and very fairytale esque!

I’ve been looking at my TBR and deciding which review/arcs I’m most looking forward to reading and hoping to get to before the end of the year and possibly into the new year. I’ll list them below: The Book of Fallen Leaves by @astamaki.bsky.social — out March 2026

“The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it…

For those too sick to attend the protests today, here’s Johanna Hedva’s now classic essay asking how you can throw a brick through a bank window when you can’t get out of bed. topicalcream.org/features/sic...

FEAST YOUR EYES 👀🔥 The Green Bone Saga is being reissued with new trade paperback covers with art by Tommy Pocket and THE IMMACULATE VIBES are everything I’ve ever wanted. Thanks to art director Lauren Panepinto @orbitbooks.bsky.social @orbitbooksuk.bsky.social. The new covers hit shelves Sept 9!

I think that our writing improved immeasurably when, instead of asking the question "why are you the right person to tell this story?" AFTER writing something, we instead asked "what story could only we tell?" BEFORE writing. And... that's all. That's it, that's the hack.

Porting this from the evil bird place but… 💥sold debut fantasy trilogy to @orbitbooks 🎉announced it to the world! ✍🏼wrote novella, sent it off to agent @JJBker ⚠️finished writing super secret novel 🤫 ⚔️book 1 edits 🌎world rights 👀 🔧finished outlining book 2… 📚book 3 in progress… 2025 here we go!

You can get good in stages. You can get good at one thing & still be struggling with another. So you can work on one or two elements of writing craft at a time & see progress. Progress is an uneven ladder, not a rocket someone else built & fueled.

Be determined. It will likely take a lot of hard work over time to get good at crafting a better story. That’s part of the challenge, & IMO much of what makes writing worthwhile. If you are able to be persistent & work through the downturns, missteps, & mistakes, you will get better stage by stage.

Write the story that is in you to write. The story you’re passionate about. Writing to trends or writing what you think you ought to write or what others think you ought to write will kill the passion. Unless you’re passionate about writing to trends: that’s cool, too. Be yourself, not someone else.

As I’ve been saying for over a year: If your business model doesn’t work without violating the law, you’re not in business — you’re in organized crime. Great reporting by @elainelow.bsky.social. theankler.com/p/tv-writers...

TV Writers Found 139,000 of Their Scripts Trained AI. Hell Broke Loose

It's 'organized crime,' says one, as scribes from Shonda Rhimes to Robert King face a system where studio policy and law remain murky

finally migrating over here a bit . We'll see.

Just a reminder. This is not the end of history. More stuff happens after this, and we don’t know what it is yet.
