Finally reading A Long Stretch of Bad Days by @mindymcginnis.bsky.social Every time I open up one of her books, I'm reminded how amazing her skill is with making realistic teen characters who act in ways that aren't watered down or "nice". If you haven't checked her books out yet, HERE'S YOUR SIGN.

A gritty #YA #adventure story by the queen of gore @mindymcginnis.bsky.social This one has been out a while, but I think it was the only one I’d yet to read from her. Amazing, as always. amzn.to/4cqGjea #library #books #librarian #librarians

Typo changed a character's "brown hair" to "brain hair" and now I can't shake the visual.

My buddy Natalie D. Richards and I both write dark, terrible, murder mysteries where horrible things happen. But when we talk about them, it's funny. We're complicated people. #ALAN #NCTE

Today at NCTE an educator told me a student read Heroine in class and then checked herself into rehab. Heroine is banned for “glorifying drug use.” Square that for me.

Conversation about what it takes to survive as a writer : Current workload - YA ms due 1/15, 2 adult projects, 2 ghostwriting projects. I also have done 87 events this year. You don’t get to stop and there are no breaks.

Met Henry Winkler last night!! Thank you @thurberhouse for the opportunity! I use Henry as my social media litmus test - if my feed starts getting too dark, I follow him and the algorithm promptly cleanses itself.

I mark favorite passages in books that I read, so seeing students who have done the same with my titles is pretty incredible!

This is my luggage, a present for my confirmation at age 13. I asked for a shotgun. I got this and a Bible. I’ve never leveled up. I enjoy checking into 5 star hotels with it, especially when it still has some bird shit on it from errant visitors in the attic.
