Make sure to explain the special torture of querying to get an agent. 🤣

Kind of need the details. I did not think they were breakable.

Thank you. It was precautionary because we didn’t “catch” the bat and now I’m immune for 10 years with a bizarre story. 🤣

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Having had my own bat encounter this summer—and the 27 rabies shots that followed—I am not surprised at this fact. 🦇😬

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

I'm rarely sneaky, but I've maintained two library card memberships for seven years. *This* is my deep, dark secret 😂. No wonder no one will ever describe me as mysterious!

Going now to support their banned books display. Love Baldwin Library!

I know this was serious, but I always kind of think that exact thing when I pass a battery or mattress store. How many batteries and mattresses does society buy to keep them in business? Just wondering…

Great tip. I feel like I should have thought of this 🤦‍♀️. Keep them coming. Please.

I was a devoted reader of the late Amy Krouse Rosenthal's blog, ATM Always Trust Magic, back when we lived in Chicago. I laughed out loud when she did a Ding-Dong-Ditch with actual Ding Dongs on her city neighbors' steps. Everyone freaked out. She didn't think through the food-from-strangers aspect!

Thanks for the interruption 😉. I can stop doomscrolling now!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Yes and yes—And for the latest book they ordered, I learned about the book when an agent posted for their author on here. I love my library and the book birthday posts on here!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

I have so many questions, but mainly I’m following you with the 🤞 of more pictures of this dog!

Breathtaking! We need to get to Alberta!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

Yay--on both counts! Congratulations!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Now that I’ve looked it up, I have to use “blowing a hoolie” in a sentence soon🤣

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

It is perfect with Glass Houses coming in as a solid second for me.

True, but I received a very thoughtful pass from you with recs to colleagues. Not everything will fit your list, and I appreciated the time you took to respond. And it was your social media presence that had me querying in the first place—just like this!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Yes! And that's my sweet spot. Short usually leaves me wanting more, but I'm not willing to commit to a long book. In our house, we call it Goldilocks-syndrome, and I've got it for book length--medium is just right.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

I'm answering as a reader that follows author events. I like simple. • Add an “event” block to your home page. • List a few upcoming events with a ‘read more’ option to the full list. • Format location first then date. (I scan for things near me.) • Include a clickable link to details.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

I’m aimlessly scrolling and thought you were freezing origami. That intrigued me.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Thanks for this, especially the example.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Characters and whether the POV pulls me in.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

I thought the exact same thing!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

I love everything about this post—and you definitely have a new friend in that guy. 🦖🦕📚❤️

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

I definitely needed this post 🥰

I love these conversations. I can spell and define, but I have to laugh at how many things I pronounce wrong! 🤣

My favorite form of punctuation—by far.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

More than stunning. Unbelievable!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

I think they’re the same. Indiana+Chicago+Atlanta+Virginia+DC+Detroit — a muddled mess accent 🙄—people always ask where I’m from. But I’m replying because I never knew rows (as in fights) rhymed with cows! Is it the same when singular? “They got into a row.” Still like cow? 🤯

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Same. But it's better than the jingle that lived in my head yesterday!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Me, too! Give me a down coat and a scarf and I’m all in!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Future in orthopedics! That teddy bear is on the mend!

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

I have huge files (economic reports and data), so I need a lot of storage. I got one thru Costco (online if you’re not a member). They carry reliable brands and keep their profit % low, so you’re getting a great value.

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Is he yawning or talking? 🤣

Jill Terlep @jillterlep.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

They’re right—her story is inspiring. I’m thankful she persevered.
