@johnnie_cakes Siblings. But all my tired brain cares about is that it’s a Lacey Christmas movie set in Scotland and in a perfect world, she’d pass thru the stones and find Jamie Fraser.

Today is my last day as an Indie sales rep at Hachette Book Group. Find me wandering the highways, making shady deals for books.

@karianneholt I mean okay, but there is still no true point to that kind of review. Like am I going to review Shakespeare and say “this was written in 1595 and it shows!” ? Better to say it was an early book. Or just read and enjoy.

@MagEGordon Crust Pizza is family friendly. Various locations including one in The Heights. And they cut the pizza in smaller squares like Chicago thin crust, so pieces are kid friendly too.

Texas was the first state to ban my books, and the last time I was here people prayed at me. Anyways I’m back! Speaking at Brazos Bookstore tonight. I don’t think the praying worked 😇 come see me! We can pray my way 🌈🤠 brazosbookstore.com/event/person-r…

@ElanaKArnold And like aren’t most weddings ‘custom made’ in at least some ways? So people! Enough with this ‘bespoke’ stuff!!

Did the word ‘bespoke’ suddenly become trendy while I wasn’t looking? Because suddenly I see it used everywhere.

@ElanaKArnold It seems to get used when you could just say ‘custom-made’ like for a man’s dress shirt or whatever. But I don’t get where the ‘bespoke’ trend came from.

@buffalosean I think that’s it exactly- that some readers interpret interiority as ‘quiet’ ( however one defines that) but often this ignores the engines of the story and how they function.

@joypreble I think you're right that it is the interiority that makes people call a book quiet; but for sure I have read some deeply interior books that are anything but quiet, McGlue and The Plotinus come to mind :)
