I get to chat with a college class about LIGHT FROM OTHER STARS tonight. Talking with classes is one of my favorite things. It's *excellent* to talk with younger people who really value writing and books, and want to build lives around them. A powerful shot of hope, right into the veins. 😊

The Gray Town Council held a workshop to identify 2027/2028 priorities, and this is what they came up with. Basically looking to eliminate our rec program and close the library. "Move to Gray! We work to make sure families hate it here!"

When reading one book turns into reading two other books. In One Brief Moment All Eternity by Elif Shafak gives a voice to the women both real and fictional in Gustave Flaubert's life. I last read Madame Bovary when I was a teen.

Instead of Halloween candy, give the children what they want: sturdy shoelaces, antacids, tinned fish packed in oil. Maybe copies of your hand-bound manifesto.
