November 18, 2019.Reading time 27 minutes.

I’m afraid that there is no cure for burnout. After all, you can’t untoast toast.

#DontYouForgetAboutMe is my new favorite contemporary romance. It’s a great example of the genre in 2019: clever, sexy, politically conscious and unforgettable. I don’t want to spoil its twists and turns, but it beautifully tackles #MeToo and misogyny within several of the relationships in its pages. I bow down to you, #MhairiMcFarlane!! #romancereader #romancebooks #bookish #bookstagram

I am obsessed with this zine that the lovely @tcypark sent to my PO box!! “You’re headstrong and strong-willed / and now fully grown, / and YOU are the gal / who’ll decide whom to bone.” #sexpositive #sexpositivity #sexeducation #bookish

I love when I meet writers I respect and they’re wonderful in person! Tonight at @company, I had the chance to chat briefly with @andrewmarantz about his new book #Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation. Andrew shadowed some of the alt-right figures I’ve been targeted by in the past as an activist, and I told him about my run-ins with folks like Cernovich and Milo. When I met my current partner on Tinder, I had an insulting Infowars headline once written about me in my bio. Moral of the story: love conquers all, and make decency great again. Can’t wait to read the book. #bookish #onlineharassment #technology #socialmedia #altright

The face of a girl who just finished writing the first draft of her novel. #amwriting #finishyourbookfall

I am extremely upset that it is winter and no longer seasonally appropriate for me to fly my gay kite.

I read my first @tessa_dare romances and goddamn, now I know what all the fuss was about. #TheDuchessDeal features moody war veteran Ash, who is desperately in search of a wife so that he won’t pass his dukedom down to an irresponsible cousin. When his fiancé is disgusted by his burn scars, he makes a deal with Emma, the seamstress who made the wedding dress, for a marriage of convenience. Ash and Emma have some of the best snappy dialogue I’ve read in the romance genre. #bookish #romancereader #romancebooks
