So we watched the original ghostbusters... Now we watch the remake. Honestly, I like this so much better than the original. Probably because I love all these actresses and Chris Hemsworth 💚

Taking a break from reading and spending some time with the husbands because, you know 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️🤪

Spending the night watching movies, starting with Ghostbusters. Honestly, I don‘t think I‘ve actually watched this whole movie. In my defense it came out before I was born and I‘ve just recently gotten into watching adult Halloween movies 😂😂

Currently have 6:37:30 for #24b4Monday

One of my favorite #geek moments. Who doesn‘t love Egon? Also, if you don‘t love Egon....shhhh....keep that negativity to yourself. 😉

Taken from a Saturday night that really happened! Best novelization ever! Hysterical and some extra backstory- I highly recommend! 👻

queerbookreader Nice book choice 😜💚 7y

queerbookreader Yeah the backstory was amazing right??? Gave so much information about Erin and after I read it was like "yes now I understand a little better why she's so neurotic" lmao. The comic series running right now is amazing too!! 7y

Lyn-Mara @queerbookreader YES!!! Agreed! I was not expecting to love it as much as I did. Would love more in a series! I will have to check out these comics. Thanks for the tip! 🤓 7y

I got the novelization of the Ghostbusters reboot film today! Totally forgot I put it on hold so it was a welcome surprise ☺️

I think this is one of those new weird shaped paperbacks that are taller than regular ones? But are still just as skinny? This is the first time I've ever dicked around with one this size. What was the point of resizing paperbacks? honestly

MarriedtoMrT The only reason I can tell is so they don‘t fit in the paperback spinner racks at work. #annoying 7y

xicanti An editor once told me bookstore owners like them because they retail at a higher price point than regular mmpbs and you can fit just as many of them on a shelf, so they made good economic sense. This is also why trade paperbacks got so popular about twenty years ago. 7y

Hey, guys, I'm looking recommendations for my mother. She loves reading however has been physically unable because of Artheritis in her hands. And the local library is shockingly low on audiobook so I want to find her some spooky stories, she loves ghosts. What can you guys recommend. Thanks in advance.

Okay, so we know Patty is a history geek and reads a lot of nonfiction....so the next question is...does Leslie Jones also read a lot of nonfic? Is she also a history geek? What does she read? These are all really important questions to which I desperately need to know the answers. How do we figure this out? What other celeb reading habits have you wondered about? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

lauren.lerner You should tweet her (or IG comment) and ask! She's pretty active, despite getting attacked by Milo and his Nazi friends last year. And this seems like a question she would answer! 8y

HotMessJess Maybe they changed over time? I mean, I used to be pretty strictly horror/murder mystery/physical anthropology books and I started really branching out after university.... I'd try to ask them, too! 8y

BestOfFates I'd try asking on Snapchat - I've never messaged her but she seems pretty active! 8y

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/dec/30/milo-yiannopoulos-book-deal-simon-... i know a lot of us are on here are for #socialjustice #diversebooks #ownvoices and are #overthis. This is One of the many reasons I love this community so much and this news has just made me so angry! This horrible human has got a $250k book advance and it's shot to no1 on Amazon preorder. I don't have enough space so more in comments....

Weaponxgirl This guy lead the racist, sexist attacks on Lesley Jones when ghostbusters came out. I'm very much for freedom of speech, you can have a shitty opinion and we can debate if you'll actually do it respectfully but this to me is not ok 8y

Weaponxgirl Simon and schauster are rewarding hatred and small mindedness with a massive book advance plus having a big publisher behind such views lends it a air or credibility that he doesn't deserve. I hate boycotting things but I don't think I can support a company that supports a author like this with my money. I've been putting my hard earned money behind diverse authors to exact change in a positive way. But I'm just so damn angry , and I alolo 8y

Weaponxgirl *apologise for this huge rant but I thought others might be interested in this too 8y

See All 38 Comments

Weaponxgirl @Bloomingjen this is how I feel aswell, the guy claims not to be a white nationalist but just a bit of research on him shows otherwise. I think I'm going to email the company too to let them know I'm not ok with this 8y

CoffeeK8 This is horrible... I wouldn't have know if you hadn't posted about it... thanks for sharing 8y

Weaponxgirl @CoffeeK8 your very welcome, I wanted other people to know this 8y

Elephantango Thanks for sharing!! P.S... GROSS 8y

LauraBrook I'm boycotting their books as well - I hope they see that this will ultimately adversely effect them. This guy makes me sick. 8y

Weaponxgirl @LauraBrook @Elephantango @Bloomingjen I'm glad others feel the same way. I'm actually researching their imprints as we speak so if you'd like a list I'll post it when I'm done later 8y

LauraBrook @Weaponxgirl Yes, please do! I keep forgetting to do so - every time I'm online I just start looking at hookedonhouses. 😜 8y

Weaponxgirl @LauraBrook hehehe, nothing wrong with that. I have many guilty pleasures on the Internet 8y

Redjewel_7734 Thanx for helping meep us informed! I too will not be giving them my money. We will make them hear us! 8y

LindsayReads Don't stop ranting! 8y

SuperPunkNinja Thank you for posting this! He's a disgusting excuse for a human being and I won't be purchasing any S&S books. 8y

Theresa Tagging @BookishFeminist because I think I saw a comment from her to a post similar to this the other day. If I remember correctly, she made some phone calls & had gotten some good input on how to express our displeasure with this ahem, "deal", in meaningful ways in addition to boycotts. 8y

BookishFeminist @Theresa Thanks for tagging me. @Weaponxgirl @Bloomingjen @CoffeeK8 @Elephantango @LauraBrook @Redjewel_7734 @LindsayReads @McShelfington This sounds odd and I am usually 100% for boycotting but after doing a lot of research on this the other day with industry professionals, a blanket boycott is unlikely to help. Best ways are emailing publisher & publicists, booksellers & libraries asking them to drop Milo or not stock the book. Cont. below: (edited) 8y

Weaponxgirl @Theresa thank you, I've emailed them to tell them why I disagree with publishing such a person in a polite way. I normally prefer to encourage and promote good change by supporting diverse authors ect. This one deal though makes me so sad. 8y

BookishFeminist Rationale: imprints work differently than a lot of folks assume so a blanket boycott would do more harm to the authors it does support than good in terms of boycott. Best advice I got was to support the POC authors that have 2017 book deals with them bc they'll be dropped entirely if s&s looses money but if you support them but not the imprint & make phone calls and emails like I said, it allocates the money where they think they'll sell most 👇🏼 8y

BookishFeminist S&S has some of the largest imprints that actively support authors of color so it wouldn't be sending the right message according to publishing professionals. It's a complicated subject though. Anyway I can give folks email addresses & phone numbers tor people to contact & I encourage folks to get in touch with their bookstores! Other industry advice I got was to stay quiet about it bc scandal sells books. Quiet doesn't. Contact the right folks 8y

BookishFeminist and it has a better shot of getting the message across than a blanket boycott. But by all means I recommend boycotting the heck out of the imprint itself Threshold Editions. I can't in good conscious not support authors & imprints that have nothing to do with this decision for the Milo book deal since so many other publishers do this too. But taking the right kinds of action will hopefully get results. 8y

Weaponxgirl @BookishFeminist thanks very much for commenting and giving this great advice. I didn't know they had some of the imprints that support diverse authors the most and harming them is the last thing I would want to happen. 8y

SuperPunkNinja @BookishFeminist I appreciate this information. Thank you! 8y

BookishFeminist @Weaponxgirl Yea! I was surprised as well. I got all over Twitter the other day and sought out voices of color. The general consensus seemed to be that all things considered this is a measly book deal for what it could be (most public figures get high 6-7 figures). There's a really high disparity between white folks (who say boycott) & POC in the industry & id rather listen to the latter for this since they'd be impacted most! 8y

BookishFeminist @McShelfington Np! I hope it helps. Publishing can be strange and so is economics 😂 Lmk if you want emails or phone numbers! I have a list 8y

Weaponxgirl @BookishFeminist it's such a fine line to tread as I know that boycotts can be dangerous as if your not someone supporting the company then you lose a lot of power for helping along positive change. For me knowing what milo has done and getting a bigger stage in which to voice these opinions just really upset me. 8y

SuperPunkNinja @BookishFeminist Yes! If I can get the list that would be great. Let's do this right. 👊 8y

Weaponxgirl @BookishFeminist I don't suppose any of these numbers are for the uk? I'll do some digging otherwise 8y

CoffeeK8 @BookishFeminist thanks for sharing, you are so right about a boycott. I emailed their main contact email, merely saying I disagreed with the publishing of this book, and I thought it was a shame they were willing to publish something by him. 8y

Theresa @BookishFeminist I would love any contact info you are willing to share. If it's easier to email it, great. My email is TheresaEmig at Comcast dot net. 8y

BookishFeminist @Weaponxgirl @McShelfington @CoffeeK8 @theresa yea I'll definitely get you guys some numbers & emails! What I have anyway. I'm out of town right now so if I forget, pester me, but hopefully I'll be able to find them tonight. If any of you are on twitter or Instagram i can DM them to you there. I'm @BookishFeminist on both!! @Weaponxgirl i don't think I have U.K. info but maybe the US publicists know. If I find anything I'll send that along too. (edited) 8y

SuperPunkNinja @BookishFeminist I'm on IG and I just followed you! 8y

BookishFeminist @McShelfington Perfect thanks! Once I get back to home base tonight I'll send something :) 8y

SuperPunkNinja @BookishFeminist Awesome! Thank you! 8y

BookishFeminist @Theresa @Weaponxgirl @Bloomingjen @CoffeeK8 @Elephantango @LauraBrook @Redjewel_7734 @LindsayReads @McShelfington hey all- so I made a google doc with info about this so we can fight it. You can access it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-L0qaAcTqw0TYeX-R31KTop_F8HDxiftrQwRITes-H4 One of the images for a template email isn't loading properly so here is the original link: https://twitter.com/joeberkowitz/status/814520046844317696 8y
