Q & A with Caroline O’Donoghue Irish author Caroline O’Donoghue's latest YA novel, 'Skipshock,' a time-shifting fantasy, may well be her most ambitious project to date.

So thrilled that PW asked me to do this Q&A with the brilliant, charming, incredibly talented Caroline O'Donoghue. Her new book, SKIPSHOCK, comes out soon, and I can't recommend it highly enough. In the meantime, here's a link to our chat: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Q & A with Emily J. Taylor We spoke with Taylor about the origins of her highly anticipated sophomore YA fantasy, 'The Otherwhere Post,' and how her background in art design informs her work.

If I say "magical interworld post office" and you think, "oo, tell me more," then you should definitely check out Emily J. Taylor's latest, THE OTHERWHERE POST. It doesn't come out until 2/25, though, so in the meantime, here's a Q&A I did with her for PW: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

β€˜Unprecedented’ TB outbreak recorded in Kansas with nearly 70 cases reported β€˜Currently, Kansas has the largest outbreak that they’ve ever had in history’ said a Kansas Department of Health and Environment official

An unprecedented spike in tuberculosis cases. Officials telling people not to worry. Sound familiar, CHILD ZERO fans?

Imagine you and your family becoming the unwitting enemies of a QAnon-style viral cult convinced you're about to trigger the apocalypse. That's the premise of Edgar winner @alisongaylin.bsky.social's riveting new novel, WE ARE WATCHING, which drops today. I freakin' loved it. Maybe you will too.

The fucking dentist was a hack. One goddamn filling, and that dickbag numbs up half my face, leaves me drooling like an overmedicated mental patient. On top of that, I’ve got this burr now, rough as grout, tongue drawn to it like a junkie to a fix. It’s gonna be a... https://wp.me/p6nLTG-7W5

I’ve only seen the first ep, because I had to binge S2 of The Diplomat, which is AMAAAAZING.

It's come to my attention that you may have missed this. There are ARCs for WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON in the wild, ARCs available on NetGalley and Edelweiss, and I *think* there are Goodreads giveaways, if that's your jam!

I've started previewing YouTube yoga and pilates classes to make sure they don't incorporate moves my shoulders haven't been capable of in years.

The Neko Case cover is fabulous. (Particularly given that it's a duet with the Crooked Fingers guy!)

The Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie snubs are aggressively obtuse. Gosling's nomination, in the face of their absence, only underscores the point of Gerwig's film.
