Amber Tamblyn

Ecstatic to celebrate @ambertamblyn & co's LISTENING IN THE DARK last night though also cackling at the assignment being "silly face" and @RonanFarrow being like "smizing." Seriously grab the book; willing to bet you'll be as obsessed with it as I am: https://t.co/vGnp5KG5r7 https://t.co/ElzvrGPQo8

@GarthGreenwell @randomhouse I've been gorging on dance memoirs so it'll be good to shift to another medium for a sec... highly recommend Bill T Jones's memoir Last Night on Earth if you haven't read it!
