>the superpowers of finding information for patrons, and respecting confidentiality. They are badass deities of ideas, information, and stories. Amen. Also, recommendation superpower: able to put the right book in a young girl’s hands in a single summer!

I’m a writer in part thanks to librarians who were so important to lonely 11-year-old me. Here’s my homage to them from the @kqednews.kqed.org @npr.org Great American Reads some years ago, and my photo from that library contest. Happy #NationalLibraryWeek www.kqed.org/perspectives... #booksky

Looking forward to the Oh Pioneers discussion. Love Willa Cather. (And love this deeper dive into specific books)

Perhaps it’s a metaphor? Notre Dame, nearly burned to the ground, is rebuilt to be even more inspiring than I have ever seen it. It’s done inside… #paris #notredame #writinginspiration #inspiration #art

Oh no. I studied under John Casey one year at the @sewaneewriters.bsky.social and learned so much. One story: his editor told him a novel was too long, so he revised…and made it longer, and then it wasn’t too long. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2... If you haven’t read him, start with Spartina.

washingtonpost.com

John Casey, prize-winning novelist of ‘Spartina,’ dies at 86

He won the National Book Award for his novel, which one reviewer called “possibly the best American novel about going fishing since ‘The Old Man and the Sea.’”

So proud of this! Opinion: In 2024, Hollywood managed to create at least one level playing field - Los Angeles Times www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... It’s a subject I plumb in the new novel—preorder at bit.ly/TB-BookPassage or bit.ly/TB-Keplers bit.ly/TB-Bookshop amzn.to/3YhZ25y or bit.ly/TB-BN

Opinion: Last year, Hollywood managed to create at least one level playing field

For the first time since researchers started counting, Hollywood's top-grossing movies featured the same number of male and female protagonists.

Just saw that Karen Solem died a few weeks ago. She was my first agent, when she was at Writers House before she started Spencer Hill, and such a sweetheart. Sigh.
