Very, very excited to unveil this gorgeous shiny *jewel* of a book jacket design for #TheTower, my debut novel out next year🎉Thank you to my U.S. publisher @doubledaybooks and the brilliant @shallwebunbury

Completely thrilled to call @doubledaybooks my debut novel’s US home! So excited to work with @shallwebunbury (🇺🇸) and with @charlottecray (🇬🇧) @HutchHeinemann @PenguinUKBooks Eternally grateful to Lisette Verhagen @PFDAgents

The loss of Hilary Mantel feels like a theft of a kind. All those books we still needed from her. That lavish imagination, that beady understanding of power. From the final book in the trilogy: “This is what life does for you in the end; it arranges a fight you can't win.”

The experts have spoken! You must preorder DO TELL by @lindsayklynch. She’ll sign it! Heck, she may even personalize it if you ask nicely. If you trust the likes of Ann Patchett, Geraldine Brooks, & Emma Straub, you’re going to love it. tinyurl.com/2r6zznk8 @doubledaybooks

Great piece about imprinting on a story young, and the complicated shame and pleasure of connection with mainstream art. (There's nothing wrong with loving Titanic!) nytimes.com/2021/05/11/mag…

Welcome to another round of Gift, Lend, Keep! 🎁 We've asked colleagues and authors to share what books they'll be giving, lending, and keeping this season and what indie they are supporting! 📖 Check out our participants this week: Cara R, @kevinkwanbooks, and @shallwebunbury!

@rapscallison You are brilliant and talented and funny and there is so much excitement around the corner for you!!! Keep the puns rolling and don’t let the bastards grind you down! 💜

this is really pathetic and humiliating but today has been the #1 worst day in this whole garbage year for me, so if you wanted to drop a random nice thing in someone's replies today, my replies would appreciate it

"Famed playwright Christopher Marlowe lives a dangerous double life as a spy for Queen Elizabeth I." We can't wait for you all to read A TIP FOR THE HANGMAN by Allison Epstein in 2021! 😍 angelalashbrook.medium.com/the-most-excit…

All true. newyorker.com/humor/daily-sh…

It’s not controversial to say that @JoeBiden and I will listen to scientists.

How do you take REBECCA, one of the most successful novels of the 20th century, and whitewash away all the tension, camp, innuendo and intrigue?! This cornerstone of my literary imagination looks unrecognizable in Netflix’s toothless adaptation. But points to KST for trying!

It’s 7:30pm and I’ve already cried and watched Titanic today. How’s your Saturday?

Drank some lemon zinger that expired in 2011...tasted a little weird, but hopefully not, like, toxic weird?

Can’t believe it’s be seven months since I heard someone shout “What time is it? Show Time!”

Have been watching The Roosevelts, and my overwhelming feeling is sadness because apparently America once had presidents who cared about the people and progress? Tough to imagine.

It was kind of fascinating watching Kamala trying, one time, to talk beyond her time, the way Pence has done over & over—she can’t ignore the moderator easily, bc it comes off differently for a woman.

Most exciting mail I’ve gotten all week!! (Which is saying something, I got a new King Arthur flour delivery yesterday.) Can’t wait for everyone to read this twisty, brilliant novel!

I cancelled my wedding and had to say goodbye to a loved one while wearing gloves and a face shield but hey, at least Amy Coney Barrett got her party

Happy birthday to my very favorite person, @asherlack! Thanks for always making me laugh, chopping our onions, and being my official partner in crime. I love you! instagram.com/p/CFvF33il6x1D…

Truly an exciting follow request, certainly not a robot! Look out, @AsherLack...
