Friends, one of my biggest dreams is for my book to be in as many public libraries as possible. If you’ve got some time today, I’d be so grateful if you would request the book at your local library! It’s received glowing reviews from booklist and Kirkus, and is absolutely adorable:

I went on holiday and got a tan, and my mom is so stressed about it. Meanwhile my sun-bronzed skin has turned a rich, vibrant shade that is by all objective standards a beautiful way to look. I’ve brought the sun back with me to England. My holiday is inscribed on my skin

STREET PUPPY, MASJID CAT | Kirkus Reviews A sweetly spoiled cat and a pup living on the streets form an unlikely bond through the neighborhood mosque’s call to prayer.

I’m writing a vampire YA romance right now and I’ve just realised that if you look at it from the right angle, consent is built into the concept of vampires. You have to choose to let the vampire in

Villete!

Me telling people to read the book that made me cry so hard I was actually clinically dehydrated

I think it’s just cus I was raised in a south Asian home

I wonder if readers realise how much of writing is just writers realising they used the word jolt three times in two paragraphs, and then looking for jolt equivalents that are just as evocative

I think the single worst part about writing a novel with romance in it is sharing it with my writing friends. I feel so embarrassed every single time!

Maybe!

So annoyed about the fact that the flowers I would like to have picturesquely blooming in my novel only bloom in early spring, and not late august when the story is set

Absolutely exhausting have to deal with this on top of everything else

🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

It’s so insane that meta just flat out stole 7.5 million books in broad daylight to train their ai model. Just took what they wanted, laws and morality be damned. If you’re still using AI, that’s the system you’re condoning.

It’s funny how Trump’s “America first” policies are proving disastrous for the American economy

My house was so much cleaner when I was on deadline
