The Service95 team asked me to write about how amazing Roxane is (easy assignment) and I told them I’d do it for an autographed vinyl. www.service95.com/ashley-c-for...

Will try to get there soon. Thank you. Jihan is the greatest.

Yep. Co-sign.

Huge food tip for NYC: one of best sushi spots of past decade is Nami Nori (@minjinlee.bsky.social will back me up) & their chef Jihan soft opened a gimbap to go place next door this weekend. Insanely good, paid $12 for one of biggest, best bulgogi rolls I’ve ever eaten. www.instagram.com/tbdgimbap

Honored. My goodness. Thank you.

yesterday I got to hear from my favorite living author @minjinlee.bsky.social, who was brilliant, funny, and spellbinding. I've never read a novelist who gives life so beautifully and fully to ordinary people history has forgotten.

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer — roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters.

Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

Listening to old college mixtapes that I had converted into playlists. Lots of Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Cure, Kate Bush, OMD, and Roxy Music. Inspired after moderating the most Gen X panel Ever. @americanbookseller.bsky.social @minjinlee.bsky.social @colsonwhitehead.com #ABAWinterInstitute

Welcome to this thrilling new novel by an old friend (I’m already reading it).

Earlier this week, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Thanks to @vinsoncunningham.bsky.social, @mirajacob.bsky.social, @minjinlee.bsky.social, Colm Tóibín, and Jay O. Sanders for an enlightening evening, and to everyone who joined us!

I’m thinking of you, Ron. ❤️

I’ve Been Laid Off. I’m Not Done. After 20 years at The Washington Post, I’m suddenly on my own — and still writing about books.
