It is very rare that I’m sad after finishing a book, but @csittenfeld’s Romantic Comedy is one of those occasions. I never wanted this book to end! It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me read passages to my own personal Noah aloud. Gosh, what a beautiful, bighearted read.

Let me tell you something: @yumcoconutmilk is a phenomenal interviewer and book critic. It has been a great pleasure to read her copy before the world does. She put her foot in this review of @Kristen_Arnett’s With Teeth, and I’m glad we got to publish it. https://t.co/KZike1VG31

Powell’s Books asked me and 15 other authors to recommend a book for the holidays. I’m recommending @MorganJerkins’ Wandering in Strange Lands for everyone “trying to reconnect with their families—near and far—during a tough holiday season.” https://t.co/2jn9JJR7iv https://t.co/HIutsedKNR

Four years, two publishers, multiple covers, and a title change led to this exact moment. I have nothing but gratitude for the journey to WEIGHTLESS. It is the book I needed to read, so I wrote it. All joy today.

@doree wrote one heck of a memoir. I’m 50 pages from the end and I can’t put it down. If you want the real tea about IVF, being in a “dream job” and hating it, and media’s inherent dysfunction, READ THIS BOOK. https://t.co/80r7oYSOpp
