listen, everything you need to know is that one time a professor called me "a sort of bitter Leslie Knope"

reading an arc of @kuangrf ‘s BABEL and am once again in awe of her genius. is there a more perfect book to read the week after finishing your PhD? i can’t imagine one!

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

ok, finished. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 There was a brief moment where i was worried that a character wasn’t getting their due, but I should never have doubted. Can I send a copy of this book to every university provost & dean??? hmmmm

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@KissingStories we have an entire case dedicated to historical romance (with one shelf of paranormal romance & another full case of contemporary romance!) at @PocketBooksShop & we ship nationwide… if you’re looking for another indie to love!

@jnomilk @rachsyme (that’s what i thought, but they’re nonreturnable books… oh dear)

@blgtylr the day i learned how to properly use a vise grip was the day everyone ceased to be able to tell me anything tbh.

@jgarrettgilmore !!!!!!! i took one tiny social media break and was greeted with this nightmare! poor eliza!!! poor sarah & garrett! so glad she’s ok

@jgarrettgilmore @guesscall tyyyyyyyyyyy we had to don sunglasses & baseball caps when going to the pharmacy this morning, lest we be swamped by paparazzi

@DearSplenda i’m still thinking about it & remain baffled that nobody—even in the string of replies i read!—ever mentions my personal fave, the reese’s bat. she overlaps with pumpkin season, sure, but she remains slept on

@jgarrettgilmore knew i wasn’t cut out for STEM when i read this tweet thirty seconds ago and thought “wait but that’s a good question tho?”

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@jgarrettgilmore only if you stop in lancaster & also bring sarah and eliza

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@briallenhopper HELL YEAH congrats! (also if you want to do an event at my ~feminist indie bookstore~ lmkkkkkk)

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@colonellovely @danielleinn @PrologueBkshop ok but being a regular prologue customer has convinced me to add a bunch of wendell berry books to @PocketBooksShop ‘s opening order so peer pressure WORKS

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@theferocity ok but that umbrella was one of the most romantic tv moments in recent memory????? i mean! ☂️

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@sunsetandecho my childhood self would include Ramona for sure! (my tween self would include Flowers in the Attic, but that maybe reveals something troubling about my sense of girlhood. … or of girlhood in general)

@rachsyme a lil nutritional yeast does the trick for our weirdly picky puppy. also have you tried warming the bone broth? (it’s bonkers but yes i’ve done it)

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@oliviastowell she was outrageously cute but counterpoint i had to download an app to log every time she went to the bathroom for weeks in an effort to house train and spent a small fortune on necessary shots. she also has gone through multiple “won’t eat unless fed by hand” phases 💀

[austin carter 🥨 @_amcarter]

@oliviastowell definitely! you’ll also quickly find out which streets in your neighborhood have the most squirrel bones lying around 😂
