I'll be there! I went to the Big Sur Children's Writers Workshop in Monterey in 2025 and got so much out of it. Highly recommend. Can't wait for Cape Cod. Join us!

I made this. TIPS: — “20 minute prep” is a lie from hell — start at least 10 hours before you want to eat. 😢 — with a 9 inch pan, the middle layer is scant as hell and WILL get full of cookie crumbs 😥 — Food processor AND stand mixer AND hand mixer are used 🥵 I’ll report back on taste!

Why, yes, @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social, I DO think this is exactly the recipe I needed in my inbox, even if I didn't know it. Thank you. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-b...

My all-time favorite Mistaken Title Requests from customers at the bookstore: — The Vampire Phonebooth — The Mosquito, by Paul Thorax — Oh, the Glory Hole — How to Kill a Mockingbird (they meant The Phantom Tollbooth, the Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux, Oh the Glory of it All, and TKAM) 😘

Republican Senators have introduced a nationwide book ban bill in the Senate, S. 4925 and it's a warning of their summer plans. Here's what the bill is, what it does, and how you can take action now. The bill is in the Senate HELP committee. bookriot.com/senate-bill-...

I am both overwhelmed with my to-do list and also for some reason decided to start BRAIDING A RUG (????) Well, there is a reason, it is because this book comes out tomorrow and I’m obsessed with it and I think YOU might be, as well. Read it and see if you don’t want to braid something immediately!

A picture book called STORY RUG by Sophie Blackall and illustrated by Phoebe Wahl. The cover illustration features five “folk art esque” children of various completions and body types, who are all in different stages of braiding rags together, against a soft blue background. The title, STORY RUG, is in a hand-written style in the center of the image. The book is on a display at the American Library Association conference and has three placards sticking out indicating that it has received three starred reviews so far.

And--this is key--try to update it like, every time you have a new release or make an appearance somewhere? It's GREAT to have a landing page but if someone goes to your site and it hasn't been touched since 2019... This is me telling you so @missdahlelama.dahliaadler.com does not have to!

Authors, I am BEGGING you: Please have a dedicated website with, at bare minimum, a list of your published works and current contact information. You don't know how many potential opportunities you're missing out on by not having even the most basic website.

I’m obsessed with the fact that Dr Bronner’s Magic Soap has sponsored this episode of Drag Race so there is a soap-themed challenge. Perfect crossover. After all, if you can’t wash yourself, how in the hell are you gonna wash anybody else? ALL-ONE OR NONE! DILUTE! DILUTE! OKAY!
