A quiet day in books, mostly previews and personal posts. The standout is J.K. Rowling's meeting with Queen Camilla, which the palace framed around literacy but the internet read through her anti-trans activism. Everything else is filler or fandom.
The day's only real news story has a literary gloss but a political undercurrent.
J.K. Rowling met Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace to discuss literacy. The meeting conspicuously avoided Rowling's anti-trans views, but the public reaction didn't.
The rest of the day is previews and personal blog posts, none of which move the needle much.
A preview for Vampirella Summer Special #1, wrapped in Bleeding Cool's ongoing LOLtron satire. The comic itself has Vampirella in Pompeii during Vesuvius's eruption.
Young Hellboy: Thrilling Sky Adventures #2 preview, also framed by the LOLtron narrative. Scarlett deals with conflicting stories from passengers mid-flight.
A writer in the Insecure Writers Support Group blog hop admits she rarely reads celebrity-penned books and hopes she's reviewed them fairly.
A romance snippet from TOUCH ME, ALINTA Bay Book 4: park ranger Jesse helps with a joey, and Lexie juggles single parenthood and new feelings.
