I stand with the trans community. Brothers and sisters. Sons and daughters. Mothers and fathers. All. Every day, but I thought it especially needed saying today.

So good, these books.

I'm very sorry your plans for the pandemic didn't work out for you, @realSarahPolley (she/her) Also, congratulations.

I can't emphasize that 'HIGHLY' enough

Man, I love it when it's Shelf Talkers time. Working with these independent booksellers is one of the highlights of my life. 49thshelf.com/Blog/2023/05/1…

I don't often link to my reviews - why? I dunno. For this one, though, I'm making an exception. Fire Weather is essential reading. No hyperbole - ESSENTIAL. Thanks to Deborah Dundas for having me review it for her pages. thestar.com/entertainment/…

After ten years, and more than a thousand recommendations, it comes down to these three, on my final Beyond the Bestseller column on All Points West: Little, Big by John Crowley Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson All the Sinners Bleed by SA Crosby Damn I'm gonna miss this.

Owing to poor willpower and something of an addictive personality, I've spent the majority of my time on this site trying to figure out how not to be on this site. I'll miss it when it's gone, but I don't think I'll be signing up for any of the alternatives.

Have started a new novel, breaking some of my major rules and up-ending my usual work patterns. Looking forward to an informal retreat next week to really dig in.

Today's writing adjacent listen: Neil sits down with Stephen King for an hour of conversation. Man, it's some good. (Listen to the Mike Flanagan episode as well.) talkingscared.buzzsprout.com/1322413/133686…

This'll do.

Tonight's viewing: Lake Mungo, As Above So Below, or Session 9? Which would you pick? (This would be my first time for any of them.)

I don't have high hopes for this, given how truly special the book is, but what the hell.

Well, this is exciting. @haszombiesinit

After listening to Lauren Groff in conversation with Alix Ohlin last night, I can't decide if I'm profoundly inspired to write or if I am in desperate need of a new career.

I don't think the ending of a book has hit me this hard since the first time I read John Crowley's Little, Big a couple of decades ago. If you know me at all, you know how much that means.

I think it's so great that in this age of technological wonders, they've made watching the Oscars so easy! All you have to do is download the CTV app and, voila! ...Then you call your mom and ask to borrow her cable provider log-in information! So easy!

I turned on CBC's coverage -- I don't think I realized just how profound my trauma from 2016 remains.
