Next up, my 16th book from the The Carnegies nominations (getting through all 64 was always going to be a struggle). Two days until the longlist!

Very excited to see the The Carnegies longlists tomorrow!

I'm waiting patiently for this to get its UK release.... It looks right up my street. When is it coming? Candlewick Press

Two stunning texts, both incredibly moving and full of heart. A tender reflection on boyhood and masculinity. So many parallels. Written so personally and authentically. Can’t praise enough 🙌 Thanks for putting ‘GB’ on my radar, Chris Baker Matt Goodfellow
