The illustrated cover for Enchanting the Fae Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sitting perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Vines of leaves sweep magically out from the tree around her to draw him towards her. The tagline reads: All’s fae in love and war. Around and beneath the cover image is this text, connected by arrows to different parts of the cover image: She's a scandalous seductress; he's famously moral, virtuous and chaste; “Yes, I may kill him, but I’ll kill anyone else who tries”; Enemies to lovers; preorder now.

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

Sequel idea: The Strong Work

Netflix's IN A HOLIDAZE, based on the book by Christina Lauren, is reportedly now in active pre-production, with filming planned for late this year/early next.

I wish people cared about the first amendment rights of authors and artists who are getting their works banned in schools and libraries across the USA as much as they care about the rights of white male comedians to be on national TV

this is hot on the heels of discontinuing packing slips with release dates that help us adhere to their own policies

the narrative i've heard is "we're anticipating being too busy to meet your needs but you can pay us extra for an untested service that is also unlikely to meet your needs!"

Abolish ICE.
Abolish "A.i."
No arms for genocide.
Protect trans kids.
Shut down the concentration camps.
Abolish tariffs.
Fire RFK, Jr.
Boycott Avelo & Tesla.
Delete Twitter.
No crypto.
Care over punishment.
Vote Mamdani.
Primary every do-nothing D.
Protect vaccines and SSRIs.
No fascism.
#NoKings

This is what they've done.

For example, we ordered multiple copies of the new Dan Brown book from Ingram in July, and it did not arrive by pub date (9/9)--there are, of course, many holds in the system, and now we look like we aren't planning ahead/don't know what's going to be popular. #libraries
