Hey hey! It’s Wednesday!
I’m currently listening to a chunky fly buzz around my room, while my cat Linus does not give two single fucks about it.
The heat is about to break in New England (yay!) and just in time for me to attend an Emo Night concert. Gonna bust out the spiked jewelry and band t-shirts and I’m really excited. Sometimes, your girl just has to dance. I’m sure some of you get it!
Monday night, I took an edible before bed to help with some sleep troubles. Tuesday morning, I woke up with an Uber Eats notification. Apparently, high Amanda planned ahead and scheduled for McDonald’s hashbrowns to be delivered in the morning. Also Linus loves his chicken-flavored thyroid meds, for which I am so thankful.

Thank you to S. who sent me this link! Monday was International Cat Day and Google had something cute to celebrate. As of Tuesday night, it still works!

Saturday, August 20th is Bookstore Romance Day! I’m running a virtual panel that afternoon, if any of you are available and want to attend. (Register here!) I’d love to have ya! You can also check to see if your local independent bookstore is doing something in celebration.

Beverly Jenkins and Courtney Milan were on WBUR’s Here & Now to talk about diversity in historical romance. You can listen to the 11-minute clip here!

Beyonce’s new album dropped and Tara shared this link in our Slack. The New York Public Library paired together reading recommendations with each track. Have you listed to Renaissance yet? What do you think of the reading recs?

Need a wholesome boost? How about a Twitter account that photoshops Paddington Bear into movies?

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
Hi Amanda, if Linus ever decides he doesn’t love his chicken-flavored thyroid meds, see if your vet can prescribe a gel that gets applied to his ear. My old kitty Rowdy (RIP my sweet girl) had thyroid issues, and after months of loving the treats/medicine suddenly turned up her nose at every possible flavor and kind of pill delivery option. My vet prescribed a gel that I applied to her ears, and it worked like a charm! No stress for any party involved 🙂
Good job, high Amanda! Way to take care of sober you.
I’ve just spent an hour going through Paddington Twitter, thank you! This after discussing the awesomeness of Paddington 2 last night with friends!!
Love the Paddington photoshops
