What a fun, funny, sexy, vulnerable, perfectly strange, & unabashedly queer short story collection. We Had No Rules by Corinne Manning is how I like my books—full of queer mess you can’t help but love. I read it in one night cuz I kept saying “just one more” https://t.co/9szfT0Tkyb

extremely charmed by Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. he writes weirdness with such compassion & humor & tenderness. following a woman who must suddenly care for twins who burst into flames when they are upset, this book is an ode to misfits & what it means to connect & love. https://t.co/872DXnpjjd

I had a wonderful time chatting with @samanthaprosen about I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself, my writing process, self-forgiveness, queer parenting and family, the importance of humor in my work, & more. a big thank you to Sam & @The_Rumpus <3 https://t.co/jtUiV8hCTt

rereading The Women Could Fly by @megiddings & it’s such a lovely experience. I’m reading so much slower this time, savoring it bc I’m not tearing through it to find out what happens. so many delicious lines, so many small funny moments.

ICYMI, my debut novel got a knockout review in Kirkus: "Reminiscent of the tenderly ironic confessional voice of Melissa Broder’s novels and the rendering of an eclectic community's search for connection and survival in Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven (2014), this novel
