@JohnCleese Happy Christmas to my favorite first crush.

@JennyFailla @raymourflanigan Oh wow. Good to know. Sorry it took that long. I did get mine. On a Sunday when the dispatchers knew I wouldn’t be there. They’d promised before 10am. Came at noon.

@AS_King @raymourflanigan I finally got my missing sectional pieces today . Did you ever get yours?

Heads up: never take a day off for a @raymourflanigan furniture delivery. They don’t show and don’t care that they don’t show.

@JennyFailla @raymourflanigan So many lies and excuses that make no logical sense. Known issues with the delivery company? Then don’t tell people delivery dates until you’re sure. Good business is not rocket science. They say my thing is coming on Sunday now. I don’t believe them.

@AS_King @raymourflanigan 100% right! I took off thursday and when they finally did come (with zero notification of a timeframe) they only brought 2 of the 4 pieces of my sectional). And then told me the other two pieces are out of stock. Customer service is ATROCIOUS and even my local salesman ghosts

Thank you @Region10ESC for allowing me to experience my 1st @NTTBFest. I had the honor of hearing @AS_King on Teen Literacy is the Solution to Everything.

Instead of obsessing over trends or agents' MSWLs, focus on telling stories that matter to you. From @AS_King: “Nothing makes sense. The sooner you understand this, the sooner you can concentrate on writing the books that will make you proud & help the people you aim to help.”

@Copperfields Thank you! I have a feeling I will see you in the next year! I 👀 will be in touch.

We just love author @AS_King! She's considered one of the best Y.A. writers of our day with her thought provoking and creative work. Come check out what we have by her at @Copperfields Books.

I’m here now. bsky.app/profile/as-kin…

@BoyntonLibrary @AS_King STILL LIFE WITH TORNADO was a really good read. I'm so glad to see it being mentioned. Some books are perennials, and this is one.

@BoyntonLibrary You’re on a roll!

Please explain how dissolving my marriage, or that of the hundreds of thousands of other same-sex couples living in America, provides a benefit to your constituents or anyone else. You’re not interested in helping Michiganders. You want only to hurt those you hate. Shame on you.

The queen of #YA #magicalrealism is back with another feminine anthem that I was so here for: amzn.to/3ZhvgxY @AS_King #librarytwitter #booktwitter #bookrecommendation #librarian #librarians

This is my review of @AS_King's Pick the Lock: The blurbs on the back cover are both spot-on and insufficient to fully capture what makes Pick the Lock such an incredible accomplishment. This is the work of a master of her subject employing her mastery of her craft as a writer. Then again, I don't know what it's like to read this book without being a parent who has experienced the range of subversive to overt abusive behaviors described in this novel and, at least for the most part, gotten away from them. I imagine, though, it would be just as riveting for them as it was for me. This is middle grade fiction for anyone of any age. I can't wait for my teenage daughter to read it.

A day I will not forget: presenting with Penny Kittle and notable YA authors A.S. King @AS_King and Kwame Alexander @kwamealexander. Brilliance.
