I think they have a lot of appeal to gift-giving parents and grandparents, just not as much the kid. Kinda makes me wish we wish we could normalize adults reading and buying picture books for their own pleasure!
Definitely did NOT know what I was getting into with COLIN GETS PROMOTED AND DOOMS THE WORLD, but can't stop laughing. It's like the memoir of an employee of The Bad Place. If depraved mirth and demonic office politics tickle your fancy, this may be the book for you. @markwaddell.bsky.social

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.
Lauren Castillo isn’t on here, but I’m delighted to share the next book in her Our Friend Hedgehog series: SCHOOL FOR WOODLAND CREATURES! If you love little critters sporting backpacks and being kind to one another ala Winnie the Pooh, this one’s for you! 🦔❤️

Just realized Heidi is on Bluesky so tagging her here: @heidiroo.bsky.social
Thank you so much, Jess! It’s been super fun to see what it’s like on the author side 🥰
Just in time for Halloween, I’m delighted announce my new picture book, BUT I’M A PUMPKIN! It’s the story of a little watermelon seed who dreams of becoming a Jack-o-lantern… I can’t wait for you to see the adorably spooky art from Heidi Moreno!
Jenn, can we schedule an agent editor coffee just to process this season? So much mess…
If the Cronin prophecies continue to prove true we’re really in for it with DUCK FOR PRESIDENT

The year withers. Dead paths across the ghost soil are revealed. Colder magics rise. Our boots are muddied, we begin to breath like dragons. Our witcheries turn with the season and our ancestors talk a little louder. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

My face every time I read the news 👆
Tangent, but something I love about Bluesky is how people will jump into the chat to gently redirect a misinterpretation of someone else’s post with zero condescension or meanness. Don’t see enough of that elsewhere
Is it a hot take to say TLOASG is of equal quality to Taylor’s other albums? That’s not an insult or a compliment, really. I like some of the songs and not others 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would expect nothing less of my home state 🚲💪🇺🇸

As an editor, my distress can’t decide whether to focus on the medium or the message
Safe travels and much gratitude to Butch and Sundance, wherever the road takes them now
