Picture book friends, do what you will.

Sometimes I just want to hear a little Brubeck, so I call my dermatologist’s office.

A fun conversation I am having with myself currently. Rebecca Sherman: Wow, you really aren’t being very productive today. Me: Hello! I have Covid. Give me a break. And scene. (My overachievers, my strivers, my Type As… you feel this, right? Right?!)

Starting to watch Station Eleven when you have Covid and know better because you read the book just before the election in 2016… is a choice only I would make.

Hey MAGA politicians, you understand that wishing us an easy fast on Wednesday doesn’t work when you defend Kanye’s anti-Semitism on Sunday, right? xoxo, one of your “friends”

“Some days, doing “the best we can” may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect—on any front—and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.”

Publishing friends, I hope you will appreciate this indicator of how long today was and how much was on my schedule... ...I just thought to myself, "Huh. I should have The List by now." Friends, we get the NYT Bestseller list on Wednesdays around 5:30. YEP; it's still Monday.

How long do you think they spent deciding whether the title should be "The Spare" or "Spare?" (and did they pick the wrong one?)

Late October 2018, right before our last midterms, pipe bombs were sent to Democratic leaders & the Tree of Life Massacre happened. We don’t have to wonder about motivations. We have to stop this violence and anti-Semitism and vote, vote, VOTE for Democrats.

Happy #BookBirthday to Grace Lin's SHE PERSISTED: MAYA LIN. The latest book in Chelsea Clinton's chapter book biography series highlights Maya Lin, the creator of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, one the most memorable monuments in the country.

Katie's first picture book!

If I am stuck on a runway and about to miss my first trip to the theater in over a month, at least I can finally celebrate Matt Phelan LEAVE IT TO PLUM on the Texas Bluebonnet List!

I wish it would have been Julián.

I think now is a good time to let you know that I also locked down the handle RebeccAuthor years ago… you know, just in case.

This may be the straw. I am on Insta at the same username.

Also trying Hive. Same username.
