Happy book birthday to @reneewauthor's SOME PLACES MORE THAN OTHERS. I had the honor of reading this one a little early & loved it so, so much - a beautiful novel about family and forgiveness, about memories we carry with us wherever we go, and the places our hearts call home. https://t.co/PeiHK1MyX1

Happy book birthday to @rajanilarocca and RED, WHITE, AND WHOLE! Friends, I adored this novel in verse, and I'm so excited to be in conversation with Ranjani for her launch event with @PorterSqBooks tonight. Hope you'll join us! https://t.co/Y3E9uacS9J

Okay, friends... I just finished two books I LOVED (Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin & Family Style by Thien Pham) and now I'm afraid that whatever I read next will be disappointing. What are some of your recent favorites that won't let me down?

Just started reading Thien Pham's graphic memoir FAMILY STYLE & it is so, so good. The opening scene alone is an amazing example of how powerful this medium can be. https://t.co/V9GHpH3WrU

I'm hearing from lots of educators who are sharing my MG novel BREAKOUT, which deals with whiteness & privilege. That's great, but please make sure you're pairing it with titles by Black authors - like STAMPED by @JasonReynolds83 & @DrIbram & GHOST BOYS by @jewell_p_rhodes. https://t.co/CerpncgPRd

I spent my afternoon on the porch reading @LaurelSnyder's THE WITCH OF WOODLAND, and truly, if you haven't read it yet, get yourself to the bookstore or library. Laurel always writes stories that feel perfectly familiar & wonderfully original, all at once. https://t.co/QvjvovzEAs
