Oh and I forgot arugula! There’s a place near me that does arugula and I love it.

Fave is probably meatball and broccoli, but I don’t have a local place that has the exact kind of meatball I like, so my go-to is spinach & anchovy. In all cases, no cheese. Just sauce & toppings.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

The longer you watch the crazier it gets

I loved these books so much!!

Promo graphic for Michelle Knudsen meet & greet event today (December 14) at Barrett Bookstore in Darien, CT from 12:30 to 2:30pm. A photo of the author appears in the center on a white background. On the left is the cover image of her picture book Library Lion. On the right is the cover image of her new middle grade novel, Into the Wild Magic. (She has lots of other books too, btw! Check them out on her website: michelleknudsen.com!)

Come see me today at Barrett Bookstore in Darien, CT! You’re not afraid of a little snow, are you?? It’s perfect holiday-shopping weather! ☃️

Reviews, recommendations, and requesting these books for purchase by your local library.

Oh wow. I mean, I could have sworn I did write that book? But perhaps it was @chuckwendig.bsky.social all along? Did he write all my books? Is Boomba my cat? Am I Boomba??? I fear I must question everything now.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen:

Violent Femmes (1989)
Depeche Mode (1990)
Oingo Boingo (1994)
Meat Loaf (1996)
My Chemical Romance (2022)

What a lovely surprise to see INTO THE WILD MAGIC on this list! Very happy to be in this excellent company. Thank you, @thehornbook.bsky.social! 💕

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

I may be in trouble.

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

Thank you, Roxana!! 💕

Cover image of Michelle Knudsen's new YA novel CURSED PRINCESS CLUB: A MOST UNUSUAL PRINCESS, based on the graphic novel by LambCat, on a background of pink and green horizontal stripes. The cover itself shows main character Gwendolyn holding a plate of baked goods (including a Magical Friendship Volcano Surprise waffle) while wearing a green dress with orange bows and accents. She's looking over her shoulder at the reader with a little smile. Pink hearts appear on either side of her. The background is a pink-purple gradient, darker at the top. The title appears at the top in purple letters, with the subtitle in white.

It's pub day for CURSED PRINCESS CLUB: A MOST UNUSUAL PRINCESS, my early YA novel (ages 12+) adapted from LambCat's webcomic & graphic novel! @slj.com called it "endearing & hilarious!" 💕 Come celebrate tonight at @wordbookstores.bsky.social in Brooklyn! Cupcakes, fun prizes, and signed books!

Thank you!! 🩷🩷🩷
