Had a fine time talking to old friend @tombreihan about his new book, The Number Ones, which is out now on Hachette. I'm always grateful for Tom's writing, which has such warmth and presence behind it, you should really buy his book: https://t.co/6VWUhpKaPK

The first excerpt from Valerie Biden Owens' memoir is live today on Axios. This was by far the most sensitive part of her story, and I was honored by how open she was with me about the night she and Joe learned about the accident. https://www.axios.com/valerie-biden-owens-book-excerpt-abbfc390-a69e-43b5-aee8-bcc6a16a5125.html

Here's an update on mythical-unicorn novel for today. I shared it with a friend last week, who said she gulped it down in a day. "Better than Klara and the Sun," she said. I plan to use her endorsement on the cover but will change the spelling of her name to "Kazuo Ishiguro"
