The NYT Poetry Challenge is the best, best thing. The first challenge was so enjoyable and inspiring, can they keep it up? Thank you, @nytimes.com, for bringing a little art and sanity to my day.

2025 read in two sentences: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
Friend love through a video game metaphor. Sticks with you like good friends do.
I'm realizing 2025 was a good reading year.

Volunteering at the Sonoma Valley Authors Festival is a highlight of my bookish year. A great organization that brings authors to schools, donates books to young readers. Exciting to see @jeannewharvey.bsky.social 's beautiful book gifted this year! #books #reading #kidlit #volunteering #amwriting
Favorite 2025 reads in two sentences. The Listeners by @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social
For sentences, for wonder, for a story that grabs and bites. Will forever and always read anything she writes.
Written by a literary hero, a brilliant teacher, a generous human. #grateful

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Satisfying 2025 read in two sentences. The God of the Woods by Liz Moore.
Twisty, turny, well-craftedy. Murdery, summer-campy, dark yet, somehow, also not.
Don't judge. Two sentences is hard. Reading this one, not at all.

2025 reading standouts cont'd in two sentences:
Playground by Richard Powers
Well-crafted, well-written, brilliant twists. Timely, important, thought-provoking, stuck with me, and floored at how he pulled it all off.
(OK, two sentences is hard ;)

I (again) failed to track my reading this year, but I will post the books that had the biggest impact on me as a reader and/or writer (not always the same), quickly (two sentences or less).
Orbital by Samantha Harvey. Jewel of a book. Life in sixteen orbits.

I'm ready! 🌟1000 bookplates are signed (my cat "helped") and my presentation is ready for 4 school visits this week for the Sonoma Valley Authors Festival Young Readers Program! I'm excited to share THE GLASS PYRAMID about I.M Pei and the Louvre Museum

So some book news today, and a note on subjectivity in this business.
Brent Fisher’s debut, THE DAY THE WORLD DROWNED, is publishing with Disney!
It’ll be out next year, and goodness, this book is something special.
