Holly Black's Tumblr: Fae are radical beauty. →

swanblood: When I see people complaining about how “a fat person can’t be fae”, “a black person doesn’t look right as fae”, because the image in their head is an image of the current Western idea of slim, white, normative female beauty, I want to say… What makes you think fae care about… HELL YES. Great post.

Espresso With Theresa Meyers!

I have the good fortune to live in the same area as Theresa Meyers and truly like her writing, as well as Theresa, the person, who I consider a friend.

With Respect.

Considering the tragedy in Boston, for the rest of this week, Marc and I are going to focus on things other than my books.

What happened was horrific, but the real spirit of humanity resides within our ability to stand up after tragedy and move forward. Defeat the spirit, and you defeat...

Thursday…um…Saturday at the Movies

We both love the movie and thought it would be fun to take our discussions about it to the page. What better place than my Movie Night post? So sit back, and turn...
