This is our second time checking this one out from the library in just a couple of months. You can tell it captured the heart of our little naturalist. Much love to @jennytwrites.bsky.social and Izzy Burton for creating this for our little wild ones. 🐾

Was so happy to snag the last signed copies of #andbreaktheprettykings and #thewitchofwolsinlake at King’s English Bookshop. Couldn’t resist especially after I found the swag bag inside with the coolest stickers, bookmarks, and artwork. Totally ready to dive into this beautiful world!

Once a year, Mai’s family gathers to make Hmoob egg rolls. Her aunt is the fastest–producing two egg rolls every minute! But Mai’s been practicing and looks forward to taking over the record. Except her egg rolls keep falling apart! #HoliPit #PB #BIPOC #OWN #agented ❄️

A CITY FULL OF SANTAS X FRIENDS ARE FRIENDS, FOREVER Novice baker Bonnie Liu-Miller is set on gifting her neighbor with a plate of holiday sweets. But after things go wrong at every turn, there’s not much hope. That is until she learns how special it is to give from the heart. #HoliPit #PB #Q ❄️

TOMORROW! A couple of reminders: - All manuscripts are allowed, holiday-themed or not. If your manuscript is holiday-themed, add the ❄️ emoji to your pitch. - You can pitch a WIP or a completed manuscript that you are querying, is on sub, coming soon, or already published. - Everyone can like/share!

Enjoyed seeing all of the #brandonsanderson fans flying out of SLC this morning. Half our flight was wearing their #dragonsteel merch. Coolest conversations to eavesdrop on.

Elemental magic of ATLA X questionable motives of ATTACK ON TITAN There are two kinds of people in this world: those who talk first and those who strike first. Astrea was the former…until the gods crossed her and her friends. #UnhingedPit because only 2 chapters are drafted 🤪 #WIP #YA #F

Toddler asked me tonight to kiss a boo-boo. Afterward, she ran away like nothing happened—as she does 99% of the time. A reminder that sometimes recognition and simple validation from others of our pain can help us move on.

for anyone trying to extricate yourself from the clutches of Amazon: bookstores make more than a third of their money between now & New Year’s, & most bookstores ship nationwide 💌

I went to the Half Priced Books flagship store today and I’m sad it took me so long to find it. It was great

Monday morning reminder: If you write you’re a writer. That’s it. That’s the criteria. You don’t have to wait to be published. You don’t even have to wait till you’ve finished a wip! Don’t let silly little gatekeepers tell you who you are. 📚💙📝 #WritingCommunity
