Oh nothing just living my voiceover-actor-life dreams, narrating the FOMO audiobook. Coming soon to @audible! #fearofmissingout #FOMOthebook #FOMOtheaudiobook
I promised her donuts. #thisistwo
Happy #WorldBookDay from the kid who loves to read in bed. #raisingareader #getsitfromhermama
It’s on my writer bucket list to see someone reading one of my books in public. Seeing one of my books in someone’s book purge on the bike path while walking my kid to daycare was...not on my bucket list, but I guess I can cross that one off now anyway. #irescuedit #littlefreelibrary
Priya and her growing collection of books about Priyas. (Also some cars. And goldfish.) #allthepriyas #morepriyasplease
TFW your book is sandwiched between two all-time classics. This is @bookriot’s list of must-read books for tackling fear of death and PS @joandidion and @atul.gawande are also on this list which basically makes us best friends. (Right? Please?)
I did promise cupcakes. // Thank you @porter_square_books and my hometown crowd for celebrating #FOMOthebook with so much love. (And @oakleafcakes for these beauties, which taste as good as they look.)
Listen, I’m no @angiethomas, but I’ll gladly hang out with her. (Also, I’ll be at @porter_square_books tonight at 7, reading from #FOMOthebook!) . . . .#fangirl #onthecomeup #fomothebook #fearofmissingout #bookstagram #yalit #ya #cambridgema #portersquarebooks
This is exactly why I love train travel: “But the other selling point of a cross-country train trip is a chance to look behind the American scrim: to learn where the nation makes and stores the hidden parts that run it, to find new places you wish you had been born, to spy on the backyards and high school football fields whose possible existence had never occurred to you.” I’ve crossed the country 3 times via @Amtrak and can’t wait to do it again. Maybe one of these days someone will pay me to write about it, just sayin.... 🤷🏻‍♀️🚂
#FOMOthebook is here! And you can officially “meet the author” either Friday at 7, or just lurking awkwardly in the YA section of @porter_square_books. Don’t mind me.
Waiting on spring, modeling rain gear. 👧🏻☔️🌦PS this raincoat is from the boys’ department because apparently only boys like dogs and fire trucks and primary colors.
Catching #authorlifemonth again back on day 27: acknowledgments. Anyone else always read the acknowledgments first? I like to know who helped the book become itself. This guy didn’t get an acknowledgment in my first book, because we hadn’t been dating for thaaat long when I had to hand in the copy, and...you know. This is serious. But then I committed legally, and then we had a kid and bought a house and stuff, and now I’m finally committing in print. (Also, he really DID make the book better. As well as my life.) . . . . .#fomothebook #igauthors #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #igwriters #bookstagram
Thank you, School Library Journal, for this star for Astrid! ✨⭐️ It’s an incredibly kind and generous review, but I might be most grateful of all for this line about the relationship between Astrid and her mother—for the fact that the reviewer saw their relationship as the beating heart of this story. I became a mother in the middle of writing a book about a kid facing her own death; literally, wrote the first draft before and revised it after—and my experience as a writer of this story was entirely different on the two sides of that line in my life. I worried becoming a mother might make me less of a writer. But it doesn’t. Motherhood isn’t a detriment to our creative lives; it’s an asset (even if it presents, er, time management challenges). I’m slowly learning that—but it sure is nice when a thoughtful review reminds you. Thanks again, @sljournal. (Link in profile.) ✨ PS: maaaybe gonna write some cheerier books now oh who am I kidding. . . . .#authorsofinstagram #igwriters #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram #yalit #tearjerkers #bookstagram #writelikeamother #schoollibraryjournal
