Interesting twitter thread ( #publishingpaidme ) on the differences between advances received by whites with those received by blacks and people of color. Also a spreadsheet gathering more in-depth data at [link] . Discouraging, but not surprising, alas.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Started listening to A Study in Scarlet Women recently and got to Holmes and Watson meeting yesterday and I have to say that was brilliantly done. The playing with canon is pretty great in general.

A Study in Scarlet Women
I thoroughly enjoyed that series.

Because books.
I agree!

I started listening to A Conspiracy in Belgravia yesterday and then I started reading The Angel of the Crows today, not realizing that was another alterna-Holmes story. I wonder if I can manage switching between them...

I'm glad to know you do that, too. I sometimes read several books at once, and choose which book to pick up based on my mood. Right now I'm reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January as well as A Conspiracy in Belgravia, and I also started The Immortalists.

Our wings are not tired.
I used to read multiple books at once, but don't sem to be able to do that anymore! That said, The Ten Thousand Doors of January was an awesome read.

I usually have two or three books going at once, with at least one being an audiobook.

Audiobooks work better for me when they're very ... low impact? Example -- I listened to all of Stephen King's Bazaar of Bad Dreams on audio, but over, like, the course of a year. I would put it on in the car, or when I was folding laundry or doing dishes. And since it was short stories, it didn't matter that chunks of time passed in between listening.
I don't want The Ten Thousand Doors to end. It's such a beautiful celebration of story.
