- It’s officially one year since A Fix of Light came out!!! 🦊🫶🏻🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🥳 To celebrate its first birthday, I’m doing a read along over on my blog! ⬇️ buttondown.com/kelmenton/ar...
- I have deemed 2026 the Year of Stories in which I will be online less and writing/reading more. This is not fixing my sleep as I had hoped, but at least I am awake at 4am reading good words instead of doomscrolling.

- Reposted by kel mentonIf you like a book? Review it. Ask your library to buy it. If you can afford it, buy a copy for a friend. Recommend it wherever you're social. Send the author an email, or a skeet, or a Ko-Fi. Write fanfic. Blow under the wings of the paper airplane so it can fly a little farther.

Amid the hilarity, Nate has a serious point-without diverse authors we limit readership-the opposite is needed right now. #ukkidlit #kidlituk podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...
