My third book is out a week from today! It is deeply informed by my love of romcoms (my most meet-cute-y meet-cute). But it’s also very much about doing work you care about, hanging on to yourself inside large organizations, and people being complicated. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720444... - ThreadSky

I logged onto Bluesky while telling myself, "well, let's see what's newly terrible today" and instead saw this. How delightful. I love all your work and am now looking forward to reading this as well.

Truly cannot wait to read this!

We'd love a haul 👀

You can get it wherever you get books, AND! I did the audiobook myself, so you can have me tell this story to you in my own voice if that appeals. Also: It’s a book about D.C. and how we don’t have skyscrapers. https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780593909379

It means the world to me to write books, and I want to keep doing it, and I’m happy to provide a little escape that is also, I hope, rooted in some real things I think are important. Plus: The charms of a big dog. https://bookshop.org/p/books/back-after-this-linda-holmes/20583208?ean=9780593599259&next=t&next=t

Lots of starred reviews. Congratulations.

That it is also a product of my deep and profound fondness for, and appreciation of, audio producers — and everyone else who makes the donuts — is hopefully obvious.

I'm glad to see that you appear to be living your dream career-wise. I remember first coming across your writing on Television Without Pity, and thinking "She's got a future doing this". I'm curious though, what was the inspiration for the "Miss Alli" nom de plume?

I am so excited for your book! I picked it for my book club (in May), and have it on hold at multiple libraries to make sure I get it in time (and convince them to order more copies!) Congratulations!!

Yay! I preordered as soon as you announced. It’ll get here right before I have some surgery and will be laid up for a few weeks - so great to have something to look forward to!

Have had it on hold from the library as soon as it was added to the catalog. I was involved in community radio at a local NPR station when I was a teen, so I'm excited for the audio production bits (I am an incurable dork).

Got to read an early ARC of your book Linda and thought it was lovely!
