NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:
Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.
A new edition of Good Society is set to grace the ton!
With revised rules and additional sumptuous art, this new edition will be useful, usable and scandalously good looking.
Check it out and help support this unique game of regency romance, scandal and drama!

I'll say more before too long, but for now: Thanks to anyone who has ever read and supported the Post's books coverage.
I've given a lot of support to writers over the years, and someone said, "You should charge for this kind of service."
I never wanted to... but now I do. Why? So I can take the money and turn it around to pay other writers to grow @debutiful.bsky.social even more!

August: Osage County is brilliant.
... and Salvage the Bones (set in 2006) is my favorite novel.

Macaulay Culkin pays tribute to his on-screen mother Catherine O’Hara:
“Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much to say. I love you. I'll see you later.”
I had 7 Q&As on the site and 3 podcast conversations. I did 5 cover reveals, and 2 writers shared themed reading lists.
Proud papa moment.
I created @debutiful.bsky.social as a passion project because I couldn't hack the freelance life.
My goal was 1 book list and 1 interview a month.
January 2026 > the first 16 months total.

... I try to put my lists out FIRST so I am not influenced by others. There are BUZZY debuts I miss/aren't interested in.
I purposefully spend a lot of my time curating Most Anticipated/Best Of. Pitches don't really influence me, but they do get the book in front of my eyes. M.A. involves a lot of reading 20-50 pages, and finding titles that I am excited about, rather than what's buzzy...
Great read from @lydiakiesling.bsky.social. Debutiful lives and dies with book listicles and interviews. Never dipped into reviews for a myriad of reasons. I think a lot of what I do is interesting, but I wish it had more depth.
Publish a novel (lol - new life goal) and *IF* that happens, have it weirdly read in a cool girl HBO show but not talked about. Just an awkward reading scene
Get the BTS scoop about how the cover for VOYAGERS by Meg Charlton was created!

Stephen Pittman, a 19-year-old man accused of setting fire to Jackson’s only synagogue, Beth Israel, declared that “Jesus Christ is lord” after the judge asked him if he understood his rights in federal court today.
@nickjudin.bsky.social reports + AP:
If you’re seeing this and are a writer I’ve covered in the past AND would read a few thousand Draft 1 words of a speculative novel…
Let me know!
My writing process is very much “post my word count and ask for feedback throughout” instead of writing silently.
As someone who has spent over a decade in the literary industry but was never a fiction writer, I’m just flying by the seat of my pants.
I *KNOW* lmao
Something changed in me between recording that and turning 37 on January 3rd. Midlife crisis a little early?
Sent 750 words to a writer I respect and whose opinion I trust.
Sobbing that it's not 100% trash.
