Leah: Chain Gang All-Stars by Nana K. and it is blowing my mind. Adam: Oh my gosh, so many! The one I'm enjoying the most is Empty Theatre by Jac Jemc which will probably end up as one of my favorites of the year.

T.J. Newman’s thriller “Drowning” is one of four debut books on the latest hardcover fiction best-seller list. nyti.ms/3J1qfTg

book recs: "yellow face" by Rebecca F. Kuang, "the mythmakers" by @keziahweir, "all the sinners bleed" by S.A.Cosby, "glassworks" by Olivia Wolfgang-Smith, "empty theatre" by Jac Jemc, "house woman" by Adorah, "the late americans" by Brandon, & "losing music" by @smalllights

It’s such a privilege to review for Ryan Ornelas. Honestly my whole career has been having low expectations, but going for it anyway, and this is one of those things I never thought I’d be invited to do. This book is a really troubling summer read. You’ll tear through it.

Week 1 of Clarion is underway with Andy Duncan!

"He was not an octogenarian. He also wasn't dead. The woman had hired him to attend the party in a professional capacity, as a Regis Philbin impersonator." Read "Final Answer" by Jac Jemc: thediagram.com/23_2/jemc.html

On this date, the American colonies declared their independence. Also on this date, my new monster joke book illustrated by Marc Brown was released.

This week at Clarion!! I’ve been assigning Tochi Onyebuchi’s story “How to Pay Reparations: a Documentary” for a few years now and love this book so hard, so I’m so excited to work with him and learn from him in workshop! 💜

Received some good news today that after Clarion wraps in early August I’ll be on leave until late March. I feel so lucky. My ambitions might be too big, but I feel like I can finish one project and get a solid draft done on two others. 🤞I am going to make the most of this time.

That’s what I call mine, too.

This is such a huge honor!!

Reading The Grip of It by Jac Jemc because I spotted it on this picture I shared online. I’ve read most of these, but that one missed me. And now I’m outraged it took this long to find me. That’s that bone-deep-fear kinda writing. Love it.

I regret to inform you, the left’s memes are getting good.
