I don’t know a soul who’s not been battered I don’t have a friend who feels at ease I don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered Or driven to its knees Oh, but it’s all right, it’s all right For we lived so well so long ...

It always feels weird to talk about my work, but I want to put this out there: I'm writing a book about this heroic group of Japanese Americans, who taught Japanese to members of the U.S. Navy in Boulder, CO during the height of anti-Asian discrimination in the U.S. in WWII.

All those science fiction and YA dystopian books I read as a kid didn’t prepare me for how mundanely cringe the current authoritarian power grab is. no style, panache, or sauce. Just a bunch of morally bankrupt weirdos with awful fashion sense and outdated troll humor.

The new Deluxe Edition books are so pretty! And honestly it seems like a really good time to give The Hunger Games a reread. #BookSky #BannedBooks
