I was delighted to be invited as the Faculty guest to the @snhumfa.bsky.social MFA/WIP program this evening. It was great fun getting to do my very first public reading from THE FOREVER WIDOWS BOOK CLUB and hear excerpts from very talented MFA students. Such a warm and positive environment, too. 📚❣️

If you follow me online, you've probably seen my daynotes (since I post them... uh, near daily) and my monthly newsletter. I love writing them. Indeed, it's probably my favourite thing to do aside from writing books. So - I've got a bit of news! www.davidgoodman.net/announcing-m...

Had a great time at the MWKF Summer Camp in St. Louis this past weekend. I got to train with the woman widely considered to be the highest ranked female kendo sensei in the world, Chinatsu Murayama, which was very cool. #kendo

Fun fact: sometimes libraries (like the @jocolibrary.org) will put a copy of popular, waitlisted books on their NEW shelves for anyone to come grab 👀📚 Saw WE LOVE YOU, BUNNY by Mona Awad (one of my favorite authors) on the shelf, so of course I snatched it up! 😍 #amreading #weloveyoubunny

I went to a lovely new locally-owned Arabic coffee shop called Turath Coffee yesterday to get some work done. I tried their Turath Latte (with a special date and spice flavor) and it was delicious ☕️ The space is very comfortable with atmospheric music. I’ll definitely be back! #amwriting

Finally made it over to check out the Parade of Hearts book sculpture (with tradeable books inside!) outside @rainydaybooks ❤️📚 And then of course I had to go shopping. Spotted THE TRUTH OF CARCOSA by @jacobrollinson.bsky.social on the shelves, so I bought a copy for my dad for Father’s Day.

I had a rare weekend morning all to myself (🤯) and decided to pop in to The Book Club—a new(ish) bookstore and coffee shop only about 15 mins from my house. I brought my laptop and settled in to grade my MFA students’ final projects with a coffee and used paperback for only $7.00. #indiebooksellers

When my daughter Willow was younger, she adored the Jasmine Toguchi chapter books by @debbimichiko.bsky.social When she got older, she read and loved the MG book KEEP IT TOGETHER, KEIKO CARTER. Willow is now 14 (but not ready for YA) & very excited to read the Last Chance Academy books! 📚🥰

I absolutely adored SUNBIRTH by An Yu. If you like lyrical, lightly speculative books (a good comp is Banana Yoshimoto), I highly recommend. I’d love to hear: do you have any “why isn’t everyone talking about this author?” author recommendations? 📚👀 #sunbirth #anyu #amreading #bookrecommendations

When you finish reading a murder mystery set in a hotel while you're staying at a hotel, of course you have to do a mini photoshoot 😄📚 So delighted I received an ARC of MURDER AT THE HOTEL ORIENT by @alessandraranelli.bsky.social. Watch for this one in May! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #murderatthehotelorient

Happy New Year! As is our New Year's tradition, today we walked the labyrinth not far from my house. It is a contemplative way to start a new year, and I like to pick a word to focus on. This year I decided to go with "Balance." ⚖️
