I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Wolves are worth saving 🐺

I 💙 political cartoons!

Hold holds a large three-ring binder about six inches thick, full of printed scripts. He holds it strategically so you can't read anything because Rick is a meanie.

Ever wonder what an entire season of scripts would look like printed out? Here is PJOTV season two.*

Ahhhhhh!

As I sit in a crowded airport lounge and am forced to overhear a business call, I see firsthand how difficult it is to conduct international trade when the tariffs are changing on an hourly basis.

Previously shared the Waterstones and Barnes & Noble special editions for Court of the Dead (coming in September). Here's another pre-order option from Books-A-Million, signed (in limited quantities, because my hand can only sign so much these days!) www.booksamillion.com/p/From-World...

Well, just watched an early producers' cut of PJOTV episode 203. Yes, demigods! The excellence continues. Long way to go in post-production, but the cast and crew have done such a great job on this season. Can't wait for you to see it!

READING FOR PLEASURE has such a powerful impact on kids, it should be at the heart of everything you do with them, every single day. Always show how them how much YOU love books. Read books to them, talk about books with them, help them find books to love - and it will change their lives! #literacy

a batch of parsley.

Favorite new Italian expression. In English, we say, "He keeps turning up like a bad penny" for that annoying person we don't want to see anymore. In Italian, the equivalent is: "È come prezzemolo." He's like parsley. Here's to reducing the parsley people in our lives!

LOL

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Looks like news about the new Nico/Will book will drop this Friday, 2/28, unless it gets delayed again, but surely not, right? (fingers crossed)

Boston area readers! I am delighted to be talking with Sajni Patel at her upcoming event for A TOUCH OF BLOOD with Belmont Books on March 1, 7pm. Come join us and hear about this great new novel! belmontbooks.com/event/2025-0...

Why should today be different from any other day? 🙃

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

Children's books are not a luxury. Libraries & librarians are not a luxury. The teachers who work so hard to inspire kids to read are not a luxury. If you cut or undermine or lose these things – #literacy will cease to be a basic human right, and will become a luxury, available only to a few.
