@UofLSheriff50 “SILENCE OF THE SLAMS”

James Scott just dunked on Raynaud. WOW

@elcoyote43 I understand both!

@micahjwhite @blgtylr I think the first part of it, “The Door in the Floor” is kind of perfect and standalone.

@blgtylr My fave John Irving is ‘A Widow for One Year,’ and I feel that’s never mentioned as a top Irving.

@SecretaryPete I would love to see a dot or two in New Mexico. ABQ or Las Cruces could be a perfect stop. We’d love it and we’d use it!

We're working on the future of America's passenger rail system—funding high-speed rail projects in the West and expanding service for communities across the country. Get your ticket to ride!

@elcoyote43 He won coach of the year a couple of times, which bodes well. I want someone who generates goodwill. And his record is good. I’m feeling hopeful!

@rainbowrowell @MarianKeyes @MichaelJBooks I can’t wait! Grownups was such a treasure during the pandemic. I read it once through and then opened it back straightaway for another go round.

@Brttnyblm The book is a stunner as well.

Rewatching The English Patient and wow I forgot how amazing this movie is “We die. We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we've entered and swum up like rivers. Fears we've hidden in... I want all this marked on my body. We are the real countries.”

@rainbowrowell Today was my first day back at work and I am not thrilled about it and this was a nice little day of sunshine. I can’t wait to pre-order!

@yannhatchuel The hottie that got away right there!

I never even watched The Bachelor but I’m ready to stan this legend

@rainbowrowell This collection is so so so good. And the hardback is stunning! It sits in a place of prominence on my shelf (when I am not re-reading it.)

@adalimon I love this so much! I can’t wait to read it and gift it!

@CassDonish The English Patient

What are your favorite poet-y novels? I.e., novels by poets and/or novels that poets love even if they don't always read and love novels?

@blgtylr I am thrilled beyond all measure!

@DearSplenda Thank you for this suggestion! I appreciate you.

@DearSplenda I was really relieved about this. I have fibrous breasts and there is a lot of research suggesting increased risk for cancer. I wanted a mammogram this year, but was nervous about asking and out-of-pocket costs. When I read the new guidance, I took a big breath out!

@Kim_Welchons @rainbowrowell We’re in this together!

@rainbowrowell In Kentucky, we called it a toboggan. After living in both Minneapolis and Massachusetts, I have been given so much shit about this naming. Has it ever stopped me from putting on a toboggan in cold weather? NOPE.

@FederalLoaf @Jeopardy I always record and watch Jeopardy at lunch. I just watched your episode and loved the jacket! You looked smart and are smart!

The whole @Jeopardy crew is so warm and supportive. When I got offstage (still stinging a little) one of the awesome contestant coordinators told me “the day your episode airs you should wear that jacket on your route, and don’t tell anyone why.” I LOVED IT. SO I DID.

@lindaholmes I liked Grownups by Marián Keyes. I also enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and The Idea of You by Robinne Lee. Rainbow Rowell’s Attachments and Landline also make me smile.

@jendrews @silasdhouse Joe’s mom is the same. They are also stashed in every cubby in every car and truck she owns. I love it when the hanger strikes!

@AmandaHoupt @silasdhouse My momma always has them in her purse. She won’t let me leave her house without some, and never leaves my house wherever I may live without leaving nabs behind….
