emma!

in good news today, books

i am overbooked and over-booked

people often talk about querying success like it's a matter of when, not if. i think it's ok to hope, but it's also ok to know you'll be ok even if that "yes" never comes #amquerying

rereading childhood favorites. love when books are as good as i remembered. #booksky

this account is new but i'm not new to the group! outside of my day job i write contemporary YA/NA :)

Gentle reminder to use alt text here when posting anything visual. This is a place where accessibility is a foundational part of the community.

As more new people join (welcome!), I'm seeing a lot more posts without alt text.

writing, not looking away, but keeping my eyes on the fire

looking for books that are well-written but don't require much brain power! any genre, MG and up 👀 #booksky

me: oh no
911 operator: what's wrong
me: my carefully staggered libby holds have all become available at once
911: OH NO

first ones that come to mind: strange the dreamer, the bear and the nightingale, anxious people, when you wish upon a lantern

i didn't think i did, but i loved maggie stiefvater's wolves of mercy falls series!

reading is not an escape today. no matter. onwards to tomorrow

i miss having the time and brain-space to read multiple books per day as a kid. being an adult is hard.

Obvious statement is obvious, but what‘s happening with TikTok is total social manipulation.

It’s going to encourage hundreds of thousands to be thankful to Trump, which is absolute BS considering he wanted to ban the app in the first place.

Call. It. Out.

goal this year: find or create a real-life #writingcommunity where i am

You can dislike a book and express your personal opinions without disrespecting, insulting, shaming, and making fun of the authors and the readers who enjoy it.
