It’s a little of this and a little of that kind of library day. PS: I wasn’t sure how I missed @robinbenway’s FAR FROM THE TREE until I realized it was published in 2017, i.e. the year I had a kid and did not read anything. #itwasadarktime #maternityleaveisnotvacation . . . . . #bookstagram #amreading #writersofinstagram #raisingareader #authorsofinstagram #igwriters #yalit #kidlit #middlegrade #librariesofinstagram #librarybooks
Booklist gave FEAR OF MISSING OUT a starred review, and I’d like to hug them: “A unique, fascinating look at treatment choices and the right to die, wrapped up in a searing tale of characters brimming with life.” ⭐️✨Link to the full review in profile! (PS: I’d also like to hug @jpeskin74, who sent along these advanced printed covers for me to gush over. They are the prettiest.) . . . .#igwriters #authorsofinstagram #kidlit #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #yalist #booklist #fiercereads #starredreview
Day 12 of #authorlifemonth is a shelved manuscript. I have a few of these, but here’s a beginning I still like. (I‘ve always loved writing beginnings. And endings. Middles, not so much.) . . . #igwriters #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yalit #kidlit #amwriting #workinprogress
Day 11 of #AuthorLifeMonth: biggest distraction. As you can see, though, she’s well on her way to becoming more independent.
All the last day of vacation vibes.
Day 9 of #AuthorLifeMonth: reader love. Protecting their sweet faces here because they’re not my kids, but I couldn’t ❤️ this photo more. (From a friend’s middle school, after a trip to their local library.)
I fell off the #authorlifemonth wagon for a couple days, but today’s theme is author friends and I have some of those! (Plus one author uncle.) I knew all these lovely humans before their first books were published, and look at them now! . . . @elaine_dimopoulos @cfarnold @jessicawowbanks @alisongoldbergbooks @katrinagoldsaito #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #igwriters #bookstagram
Day 4 of #authorlifemonth: Shelfies. Nonfiction by topic and author; adult fiction; middle grade and YA. With a few of the husband’s business books thrown in, because #marriage. How do you organize your shelves?
Day 3 of #AuthorLifeMonth is “writing fuel,” and while I might wish my writing sessions were always accompanied by an artisanal grilled cheese sandwich (thank you, @nocaprovisions), this is actually fuel of a different kind: me, on vacation, my kid at daycare, with a stack of new library books I might or might get to read (and that’s fine), with my laptop, at my favorite coffee shop, working on something new. Sometimes life fuel is writing fuel.
Getting caught up on #AuthorLifeMonth (thanks for hosting, @missdahlelama)! Day 1 was my books, so here they are in WIP (all the post-its, please) and final form. And day 2 is a non-author photo, so here’s the fam melting down in Home Depot. As you do. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. A girl’s gotta have her own table. (And it might as well be mint green.)
💫Giveaway! ✨I’m packing up the fam (for a big down-the-street move) and I have a bunch of new book-loving followers—hello there!—so to celebrate, I’m giving away a pair of these: my firstborn and my third baby (I’m keeping Priya, sorry). Comment below with your favorite reading spot to win (and tag a friend who loves books too for an extra entry!). I’ll pick a winner on 1/20. (US and Canada only this time.) #giveaway #bookstagram #yalit #yabooks #booksofinstagram #kidlit #ya #booksbooksbooks #bookgiveaway #teenreads #fiercereads
