Bookshop .org is currently offering free shipping. If you were looking to get the hardcovers, this is MUCH BETTER than Amazon: they support independent bookstores with every sale (and you can even pick which local store to support). Get one here: bookshop.org/p/books/mask...

the 80s had a high density of celebrities whose authenticity was hard to figure out, as a kid. like, was Mr. T a real guy? he was like that in shows/movies but also in interviews? or pee wee, elvira, max headroom, various wrestlers. even alf was on celebrity squares. it was a confusing time.

"Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it's my least favourite quality. It doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get, but if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." - Conan O'Brien

@roxanegay.bsky.social chose a book I agented at the dawn of the 21st century as one of her favorite books of the century so far! (I think it was the second or third book I ever sold as an agent)The Brutal Language of Love by Alicia Erian. So so so excited. (Three SOs)

I bet audiobook narrators love it when fantasy authors describe their weird nonhuman magical characters as talking in a voice like broken glass or tearing metal or a thousand ringing bells or whatever

Imagine riding around in a ‘72 Duster, windows down, sunny and 75°. You got your girl/guy by your side. They look at you lovingly, reach behind the seat, and pull this out.
