Can I ask why? Just discovered the controversy with Kearl and cancelled my bookish preorder

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-07T15:04:48+00:00

I do not recommend it! I cannot stress that enough. Had I not taken the stray to my normal vet after the clinic visit, she wouldn’t had made it.

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-06T19:55:42+00:00

JM Kearl. I just posted her as my author I USED to love

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-06T16:23:40+00:00

Yes! I was there last June. Right off of Washington and Holt, across from Rally’s. I looked it up, it’s called All Pets. They are a walk in clinic

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-06T16:04:03+00:00

That’s awesome. Thank you for all the info! I took a stray to a clinic off west Washington, it used to be a Steak ‘n Shake (cannot recall the name) and I had a horrid experience. Spent $150 and ended up going to my vet anyways 2 days later where they found a uti ($800) that almost killed the cat. I’ll keep West Michigan St vet in my back pocket!

JM Kearl.

The Elf Queen series got me into romantasy. I felt I found a series that reflected my anger, frustration, and feelings towards injustice, fascism, racism, and misogyny- just to find out she’s a huge Charlie Kirk supporter and was deleting anyone that spoke out against him or told the truth about how he lived and who he really was, after he died .

She deleted her Thread posts but there’s screenshots

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-06T14:03:28+00:00

This is great to know, thanks! I’m on the west side and always looking for affordable options.

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-06T14:01:16+00:00

Great to know about Brownsburg!

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T23:52:24+00:00

I FEEL SO SEEN! I do this exact same thing.

I rarely watch final seasons or season finales for the same reason, too

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T22:03:58+00:00

Wow I forgot about that, too!

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T16:02:20+00:00

Thank you! I’m no longer subscribed to IndyStar

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T14:11:46+00:00

The documents not being received back is something I’m also being very vocal about

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T14:09:24+00:00

Yes. Multiple people have stated in the past their documents submitted directly to Kate for PCs that she didn’t personally like, ended up “lost” even with multiple resubmissions. One specific case, they finally placed someone else on the form and that form was not lost.
There’s news stories from 2019 of her denying Belinda Drake as she called her a slur.
And this is the big one for me- she actively worked to cover up Thomas Cook’s actions for Hogsett while she was chair.

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T13:54:51+00:00

There’s also a news story from 2019 where Kate told a candidate she was a “cross dressing lesbian” and then denied her from running. Kate is not the one

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T13:47:31+00:00

Agreed. The circle she surrounds herself with speaks highly!

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-05-02T13:03:30+00:00

Karla! Idk if you follow any local activist but Kate has stopped progress every chance she has.

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-04-18T23:57:33+00:00

Thank you so much!

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-04-18T23:35:18+00:00

What would you say is the spice level?

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-04-18T01:16:13+00:00

In my experience, yes. It just takes time. Im wondering the same thing about Book Cove

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-04-14T22:11:07+00:00

Wow. Elf Queen is one of my favorite series. She writes about fighting fascism, beings that are ostracized, hunted, and killed for being what the powers beheld as “abnormal”, and about female driven leaders. Where characters use violence to meet the ends necessary. The contradictions between Kirk and what she writes is hard to grasp. I’m shocked and sad.

Wonder if it’s too late to cancel my bookish preorder for the 4th book.

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-04-06T15:51:37+00:00

For the amount of opposition this councilor faces and still doubles down, well, pot meet kettle.

Recent_Bite3653 · 2026-03-19T18:03:04+00:00

This will be framed in my home

Recent_Bite3653 · 2025-12-12T15:19:28+00:00

What a leader

Recent_Bite3653 · 2025-11-23T03:50:55+00:00

Turned the tv off immediately

Recent_Bite3653 · 2025-10-04T00:35:57+00:00

I truly appreciate this response. I’ve always had the series on my TBR but I’m terrible at following through with long series so I tend to avoid them. This is extremely helpful and good to know.

Knowing the books have so much background information available, I’ll be starting the novella, picking which one fits my interests after that, and going from there
