Got it, thank you.

Book heaven indeed! I always get so excited when the lineup is announced. I go author by author to see who will make my list. There are so many to choose from, it’s not an easy task.

Had a wonderfully tearful time at the La Times Festival of Books yesterday. Got to see @amytan.bsky.social @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social, Stacy Abrams, and @roxanegay.bsky.social (not pictured bc my phone died) 😞

Thank you for sharing. Is this a YA book or more intended for adults?

I was there too, so fun!

🙋🏽‍♀️ but I’m on the final step. I will be done today.

I love this for you! Also, where did you get that awesome sweatshirt?

Just be ready to pull over and sob every so often. Such a powerful, and sad, memoir.

So great! I love putting together book baskets.

I read most of Sonido Reyes‘s books, but I have yet to read this one. Thank you for helping me find my next pick. 😊

One of my favorite books!

I have this on hold on Libby. I can’t wait to see her at the LA Times Festival of Books!

Thank you! I really needed this today.

Who said that was a problem? 😋

I’m reading this for the second time with moms at the school that I work at. The conversations that we’ve had as a result have been transformative. ❤️‍🩹

Also wrong!

I’m writing a strongly worded letter immediately!

Wiki is dumb too!

I forgot to do the ALT text. This is a picture of my car screen that says “daylight savings time” instead of “daylight saving time”.

Omg, my car is dumb! It’s SAVING, not savings. 🤦🏽‍♀️ @genebaxter.bsky.social

I gift this book to the children in my life and they love it!

Mayosapien 🤣

Yep. This book gave me nightmares but I couldn’t stop reading. So good!

One of my faves!

Omg, I can’t wait!

One of my faves!

Me too! I’d like for it to focus on Ajay’s sister. I don’t think it’s asking too much.

I really enjoyed The Rose Code.

So cute! Where are they from?

Yes, I appreciated him narrating his book. I finished it a few summers ago while traveling by train in France.🇫🇷
