The documentary is not enough TAKE ME BACK TO THE ERAS TOUR

Kei on the Bloomsbury team crochets! Fiber arts and queerness sounds like it could be up their alley 😊

Stranger Things season 3 they could never make me hate you

After seeing several people not get Hilary Duff tickets, I am feeling very smug about only having 786 people in front of me in the queue this morning. I prepared. I was ready. And I was rewarded.

THIS IS WHAT DREEEEAAAAAMS ARE MADE OF

Just got in manuscript 3 out of 4 for this month and my editing schedule is starting to feel like:

We did it, Zo!!!! 🥳

Reminder to vote early and vote on Halloween for the extra fun sticker!

I’m giving a speech at my friend’s wedding this weekend and have yet to practice it without crying. So. We’ll see how this goes!

I think enough time has passed where I can admit every time I see this cover I think the knees/legs are a butt

In honor of Life of a Showgirl Eve, here is my day-one review of TTPD, which I wholeheartedly stand by! 1/2

I am not on Letterboxd because I simply don’t want to, but here is my Letterboxd top 4 in case I’m ever on a red carpet and they ask:

-(500) Days of Summer
-Penelope
-Back to the Future
-Shrek

(These choices will impress no one and I don’t care.)

OMZ* what a day of mixed-AF emotions: Zombie and Brain is an INSTANT NYTimes bestseller at NUMBER 5!

Congrats to the whole Zombie team! @laancham.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @thejordache.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

It’s been about a year since I did a cut paper craft, but my yearly rewatch of Gravity Falls inspired me to make a little booklet! #gravityfalls

Dead, editing, same thing

“If you don’t use AI now you’ll fall behind!” I’m sorry, do you think typing a prompt into a box is hard?

I’m gonna try to go over the weekend!

Constantly torn between wanting cook a bunch of food for my loved ones and hating having people in my house.

Stephanie, I was at lunch when it happened and came out to FORTY texts! People are congratulating ME 🤣

2/2 Belly will go to Paris. She will go to Stanford for a sports psych masters. She will reconnect with Conrad as “friends.” THEN they will finally kiss. At least part of the last episode will be a flash forward to them getting married at the beach house. All relationships will be repaired. Fin.

My prediction for how The Summer I Turned Pretty will differ from the book: Belly & Conrad do not kiss before the wedding. Belly makes the active choice not to marry Jeremiah instead of~*the drama*~ breaking them up. She will not immediately end up w/ Conrad. 1/2

As the ppl in my life started having kids, I’ve made it a habit to always congratulate the parents on their child’s first birthday for surviving their first year of parenthood. It’s arguably a bigger accomplishment than whatever that baby has been up to.

Green zombie-like skin background with the cover of Zombie and Brain Are Friends and the American Booksellers Association Kids' Indie Next seal at the top. In a pink square is a quote from a bookseller recommending the book: “As soon as I saw this book, my heart had the same little flutter as Zeb! I knew it would not disappoint. A sweet, charming book with adorable illustrations that is perfect for story time!” —Kaitlyn Reed, Read Between the Lynes, Woodstock, IL The ABA logo is in the bottom right hand corner and text also reads "Shambling into stores September 2nd."

So honored to have our book included on the ABA's Kids' Indie Next list for September/October!

All the indie booksellers' love for this book has been AMAZING!

Taylor Swift is scheming. I can feel it.

We don’t actually know what Hamilton’s zodiac sign is so @alexborbolla.bsky.social and I decided he’s an Aquarius (which matches Burr) (which would explain a lot about their dynamic)

Bring 👏 back 👏 DVD 👏 extras 👏

Thought making my editing calendar for my Winter and Spring 27 books would make me feel better about my schedule for the rest of the year.
It didn’t 🙃
