Can’t emphasize enough that authors should listen to their gut. Got an offer from a new agent at a sketchy agency & was leery from the start. I’m SO GLAD I didn’t sign with them - the agent signed *dozens* of writers in just a couple months & their few sales are to imprints that take unagented subs

I think this amount of library checkouts (& recent @bookshop.org purchases) is fine, right? 🫠

Halloween horror! Horrifying: 1. Floating skull 2. Evil fog 3.Slime fiend Utterly horrifying: 1. Floating skull who borrows books and never returns them. 2. Evil fog with some really awful opinions (it is saying we've got the internet so we don't need libraries") 3. Slime fiend who browses bookshops then buys online

3. Utter Horror!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Devastating. The entire Philly listening area is in mourning right now. 😔

First they turned The Terminator into a documentary; now this. Ffs. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just this year? I can’t have it in the house until the 29th at the earliest. 😬🤷🏼‍♀️

Me and my childhood trauma this week, as I try to avoid all the Thriller memes, gifs, and clips. 🫣😩😭

#booksky My favorite Sarah Anderson comic...

Bingeing all the ‘90s horror movies! And can we please talk about how well The Faculty has held up over the years?

Some thoughts on destroying the illusion of perfection:

Ugh, I love that book so much. Just finished my own reread a few weeks ago.

Another point in favor of divulging the name of the offering agent is that the other agents might be able to warn the author away from a schmagent/shady agent (which is essentially what ended up happening to me).

Thank you for the info! I’m in PA, which (thankfully!) joined the northeast vaccine coalition, so I’m hoping I won’t have to go too far to find it. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Where did you get it, if I might ask? That’s the vax my doctor recommends for me but it’s been so hard finding pharmacies that carry it.

So similar to when life gives you lemons, make lemonade...
When everything is on fire, roast marshmallows.

Too soon, Erik, too soon.

Ah, shoulda guessed. That one made me realize my threshold for body horror is not as high as I thought. 😂

Ooh, what book is this? Sounds right up my alley. 😅

It’s been an embarrassingly long minute 😬😅🫣 but guess who’s finally back in the saddle?

When you have 20+ books checked out of the library, but you think now might be a good time to re-read IT for the umpteenth time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ash! It’s GORGEOUS!! Omg, you have to be over the moon…I know I would be!

So fantastic! Huge congrats! 🥳💃🏼🎉🍾

I was wondering. 😆

Nicole is amazing! Query her!

Definitely did a double-take when I saw it in @publisherslunch.bsky.social today. 😒🙄

I mean, zombies make everything better anyway, imo 🤷🏼‍♀️🧟‍♀️

Thank you! ❤️ Time to knuckle down on the next one, I think.
