@MissDahlELama I’m preordering Ashley Wilda’s YA debut, THE NIGHT FOX, Terry J. Benton-Walker’s MG debut, ALEX WISE VS. THE END OF THE WORLD (so excited), and my own MG novel, WISHING SEASON (tell me I’m not the only author who does this)

This week I read @jeanho FIONA AND JANE and @nina_lacour YERBA BUENA, and it was an excellent pairing. Both mix past with present in alternating, interwoven storylines that explore sexuality, friendship, identity, authenticity, and the boundaries and depths of intimacy and love

The audiobook of @erinentrada WE DREAM OF SPACE was excellent company while I chopped and stirred the soup last night. I frequently recommend Erin’s books to writers looking for strong examples of middle-grade novels that follow multiple main characters and do it well https://t.co/tkrVZeXd3i

On your way to vote, stop by a favorite bookstore and pick up a copy of @EricsonNora & @theaterclouds new picture book, TOO EARLY. It has three starred reviews and is utterly lovely and delightful 💙 (Photo stolen from Nora’s Instagram) https://t.co/DbGZANo6Py

The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art included @mikasongdraws and my LOVE, SOPHIA ON THE MOON in their new exhibition, “Dear Reader: Picture Books and Letter Writing,” and this makes me happier than a moonicorn https://t.co/9lyxrBLfmk https://t.co/kJ56JSTnhX

@maerespicio All of Corey Ann Haydu’s middle grade, but especially my forever-favorite, RULES FOR STEALING STARS

It’s AN ARROW TO THE MOON release week and I’m so freaking excited for my copy to get here that I won’t even be mad if it turns out to be smaller than Emily’s. (Or wait, @exrpan, are you just extra tiny in this photo???) Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday! https://t.co/bhgbYWqIzK

Looking forward to discussing big emotions in middle grade fiction (& talking about my upcoming novel, WISHING SEASON, at its first conference) with Bree Barton (ZIA ERASES THE WORLD) & @KarunaRiazi (A BIT OF EARTH) at tmrw’s @NJASL Spring Mini-Con. Yay for books & librarians! https://t.co/0mMnsuxNeS

.@ramona_ausubel writes strange and beautiful stories that brim with ambition and truth. I’m eager to read her new one, THE LAST ANIMAL. Happy release day, Mona! https://t.co/eKtG9SA9xZ
