Fair Play: Reese's Book Club: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too Much to Do (and More Life to Live)
Eve RodskyDoes anyone have a Kindle copy of #FairPlay by @eve_rodsky and would you be willing to search it for something for me? I have it on audio and in hardback but cannot search the quote I half remember on either of those and can't find it using Google. Thanks!

Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: The Last Book on Novel Writing You'll Ever Need
Jessica Brody@JessicaBrody I loved Save the Cat Writes a Novel so much, but I'm planning a dual timeline novel (same hero, alternating chapters set two decades apart) and I wondered whether you'd advocate doing one beat sheet or two combined? Thanks so much.

Other Parents

On the Savage Side
Tiffany McDanielThe days I spent reading #OntheSavageSide feel a bit like a fever dream. This novel tackles some hard issues head on and doesn’t flinch. Addiction, murder, prostitution, grief. On the one hand, it’s relentlessly bleak, but it’s so beautiful too. https://t.co/39z96u9i0q
