And it's been ten years since Gillian Flynn wrote a fucking book AND IT'S NOT OKAY

[scriptedending]

yeah, between her and Donna Tartt and Madeline Miller (and GRRM but lol), I am begging someone to publish!!

[tanglespiders]

I expect it from Donna Tartt, but Gillian Flynn was churning them out there for a minute, then nothing!

Madeline Miller has long COVID. I read a piece she wrote about how the resulting brain fog and memory issues have impacted her ability to write.

[scriptedending]

Omg, I had no idea! How awful.

[goldenhera]

Yeah, I know a couple people who have long COVID after mild illness. It's rough. Here's the article she wrote in WaPo: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/08/09/madeline-miller-long-covid-post-pandemic/

She has her own imprint now... unfortunately I haven't loved any of the books I've read so far.

Yeah I've been following it but none of the books interested me so far!
