I am so gone for this book. I’m on my third listen in a year’s time.

Grief is so weird. Do other people carry a version of someone long gone who grew up and grew old, like the real person didn’t get to? Like, when I miss him, I tell him things, and when I talk to him, he’s middle aged like me, not young like he was when he died.

A Middlebury graduate building Thornton as wish fulfillment and then writing it well enough that other people want to wish for it too is the best kind of origin story for a small town series."

The slow burn between Nan and Joss has real friction in it because you gave them both complicated histories that don't resolve too neatly, and the Vermont countryside works the way setting should work, it makes the emotional stakes feel rooted in something real.

Nan Grady shows up in Thornton and the town is genuinely alive around her, not as backdrop but as context, the kind of context that explains why Joss Fuller is the way he is and why the vandal targeting the inn is more than just a plot device.

I am so tired of scammy emails about book marketing, however…this is how I feel about my book, too. So thanks for the free review copy, Scammer DuJoir! "I want to tell you what the Damselfly Inn does for a reader who has spent too long in stories where small towns are just pretty scenery.

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Mystery writer: does the cup smell of bitter almonds? Because if so, the cup is half full of cyanide. Arsenic, on the other hand, is odorless and tasteless, and might be a better choice, depending on how quickly you need it to work.

It’s winter holiday time, which means #macarons in my kitchen. These are pistachio, made from the fine pistachio flour I bought earlier this year for a different cookie recipe.

Self-soothing with the Megan Follows Anne of Green Gables. I’ve read the books countless times. I’ve watched the two films over and over. Jonathan Crombie was one of my first crushes. And I still tear up seventeen minutes in when Matthew says, “You can talk all you like. I don’t mind.”

Okay, #romancereaders, let’s talk male main character smells for a sec. I’m side questing and curious what your favorite combos are. Lean into the tropes with me.Surprise me. Sandalwood and leather? Bergamot and cedar? Clean laundry?

I don’t talk about my day job a ton, but that’s honestly because I find it enjoyable. I like what we do, and I like my team and my place in it. This interview with our CTO highlights a lot of the reasons why.

Picked up crocheting. I already knit and I learned to crochet granny squares when I was a teen. Now I stress crochet plushies and garments. Whee! Also painting on my iPad with Procreate. At least that is useful for bookish things?
