Welcome to Wednesday!
Tonight, I’ll be at Lovestruck Books to celebrate Katie Sturino’s debut, Sunny Side Up. Honestly, so nervous to be in conversation with her, as I see Katie as a real BFD. (Big fuckin’ deal.) If you happened to grab tickets, please come up and say hi after the event.
Also…how about these heatwaves?
…
The McNally Jackson Seaport location is hosting a fantastic panel on cowboy romances on July 16th. The panel includes Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom, Regina Black, and Bailey Hannah, moderated by Sanjana Basker.
…
We may have talked about this already, but there’s news on the Heated Rivalry adaptation. Sarah noted that it’s being directed by the co-writer and director of Letterkenny. She said, “He already directs Shorsey, which is about hockey, so the hockey stuff will be very good too.”
…
Even more adaptation news! The CW has picked up six Harlequins to adapt to film. I think it’s a good variety of contemporary settings.
…
Enjoy Rick Astley covering Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.”
…
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!
My 10 year old is a fan of both Rick Astley and pink pony club, so I will reshare that, thank you.
My 40 year old loves both, too. She likes Rick’s voice.
Best comment I’ve read so far (sadly, not original with me): we just got Rick-Roaned.
I saw Rick post this on TT recently. It was one of the first celebrity covers I saw of the song. My favorite. Because Rick never lets us down, gives up on us, etc…
