I just reviewed #LonelyCastleintheMirror by Mizuki Tsujimura. Thanks #NetGalley and @ErewhonBooks It was the "neat, it's about X...oh wait, it's really about Y" kind of sense that I loved... https://t.co/TlD6D1L1E7

One of my favorite reads of 2022 was Self-Portrait with Nothing by fellow @22Debuts author @AimeePokwatka. Loved it so much I bought a few extra copies to give as Xmas gifts. What was your “omg I need to give this to everyone” book from this year? 📚 https://t.co/0QgNfb1onT

Well, I’m officially a dork. I’m a big Beatles AND Haruki Murakami fan, so of course the first time I visit Norway I have to snap a photo of some trees and exclaim: “Norwegian Wood!” https://t.co/T8PlO0ekDw

My daughter loved KEEP IT TOGETHER, KEIKO CARTER by @DebbiMichiko so I bought her a copy and pre-ordered JUST BE COOL, JENNA SAKAI for her 10th birthday (just printed a picture of the cover to stick inside the first book 😄) 🎈 https://t.co/yYB5WBZdld

My request for comps was featured on this podcast episode of "The Shit No One Tells You About Writing" & I am so grateful! @Katyisreading gave me some amazing ideas for my bizarre WIP (my retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's dark fairytale "The Shadow" set in near-future Japan) https://t.co/m0IlW2kI0i
