What a quietly elegant book this is. It’s a slow moving, small story about a housekeeper and the professor she works for. He has short term memory loss — only remembering things for 80 minutes — and yet they still forge an incredible bond. Touching, heartbreaking, and beautiful.

No better feeling than dropping off more copies of your book at the local, indie bookstore because they keep selling out. #Booksky

It’s been about a year and a half since Strings came out and I love hearing back from readers who connect with the anxieties in that book. Do you like reading things that make you anxious? #booksky

A milquetoast dad hunting for his son's murderer? I always envisioned Brendon Fraser in the role. Who would you cast as your book's protagonist. #booksky

Okay, hunky shirtless guy who was building up a nice sweat as you ran past me on the trail. Sure, you've got Hollywood abs and a chest I could iron my fanciest dress shirt on, but this goblin (in both sight and smell) has a question for you: How the fuck do you smell so good?

On my bike ride this morning a wasp flew unobstructed — missed my lips, my teeth, my tongue — and hit me directly in the back of the throat. I don’t even know if the little bastard stung me. All my happiness is gone.

This is one of those books that the further into it I got the slower I read. I wanted to stretch it out and really enjoy the story as it unfolded. Wonderful writing.

I’ve thought about doing it in the past, but I think I’m going to actually try to make 2025 the year of big books. Current TBR roster: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Chabon Anna Karenina by Tolstoy 1Q84 by Murakami Jerusalem by Moore Wanderers by Wendig

I haven’t watched everything, but here are my top five movies of 2024. The movies I liked, I really liked, but overall felt like it was a down year – that might just be me. 1. A Real Pain 2. We Live in Time 3. Spaceman 4. The Wild Robot 5. Monkey Man

Dementus’s speech at the end of Furiosa saved it from 3 stars and bumped it up to 4. The idea of never-ending and ever-evolving grief nails it and I really brought the whole movie home.

For some reason, nothing makes me feel my mortality more than looking at year-by-year photos of the Beatles.

One thing that I love about IDLES is how none of them look like they should be in a band with one another.

I just finished up with I Saw the TV Glow and there’s so much here that I like, but overall it didn’t quite click for me. It’s funny because I can’t point to anything in particular because I loved the writing and the look of it.

Fantastically paced and, IMO, the story is cooked to perfection. It’d be easy to over write this one, but they found a good balance. Artwork is top notch too.
