What's up with all modern Doctor Who actors playing psychopaths after their run? #tv #DoctorWho #mattsmith #davidtennant #petercapaldi
Amelia E. Adler@xandrethenthdroid I'm reading "You" by Caroline Kepnes for my book club tomorrow and I already know I won't finish it. The book makes me feel dirty. I have to take breaks & read it in small chunks. Don't get me wrong, it's a good book, well written & all. But I've got too much dirt & ugliness in real life right now & I want escapism from the media I consume, not things that weigh me down. Following the mind of a stalker & murderer is not fun. Thankfully, next up for the club is Carmilla!

1. Audio books are TOTALLY reading, and to say otherwise is ableist.
2. I hear nothing but good about Terry Pratchett, and I REALLY need to check his stuff out.
3. Is there any other way to do chores without getting bored out of your mind?
4. I'm alternating between In My Own Moccasins by Helen Knott and Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison. And listening to Dune by Frank Herbert.
What is your #weekendread?
I'm listening the #terrypratchett biography A Life With Footnotes. It's so funny and sad at the same time.
Please no toxicity about whether audiobooks are reading: it's chores day and audio books are the only way through my book list

One of the books I keep going to, to be inspired to read and find new authors is @neilhimself's A View From The Cheap Seats which by and large is basically a compilation of his love letters to other authors.
