I’m THRILLED and CHILLED to participate in the cover reveal for @gwenythreitz.bsky.social ‘s debut YA romcom: YOU’RE DEAD TO ME, REED WALKER!

Congratulations on the gorgeous cover, Gwen! I can’t wait to read it!

Cover: Jacqueline Li
Out 5/5/26 from @macmillanusa.bsky.social (Roaring Brook Press)

The cover of YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, REED WALKER by Gwenyth Reitz; a ghostly girl and boy stand in front of a clearly haunted house. The tropes are: Academic rivals to lovers Forced proximity
Decrepit mansion setting
Haunted hijinks
Swoony romance
He falls first
There's only one moth-eaten bed
Out May 6, 2026!

A swoonworthy YA supernatural romcom where two academic rivals are trapped as ghosts to haunt the same house.
They'd kill each other.. if they weren't already dead.
Tessa Sinclair is a winner. Winner of spelling bees, science fairs, and scholarships. So when she finds herself unexpectedly dead in an abandoned mansion graduation party, she's none too pleased.
What's worse, her academic rival-the Harvard-bound, Mr. Perfect Reed Walker-is there too, deceased, smug, and annoying as hell. Being a ghost is hard enough, but it's a thousand times worse having to haunt the same house with your nemesis.
But as Tessa and Reed retreat to R.I.P in their respective corners of the mansion, a mystery begins to unfurl about the exact cause of their deaths. Though they'd rather die (again) than work together, they'll need to find a way to overcome their differences in order to hunt down a murderer on the loose. And should they happen to fall for each other along the way...Who ever said you can't find love after death?

Adulthood is just making tough decisions and crying through them all, huh?

Excuse me, what the hell? #Meta suspended my #threads account? I literally just lurk, like, and occasionally post/reply to people!

Is anyone else on #bookthreads or #booksky experiencing this issue?

I knew there were writing memes in there somewhere.

Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans on a photo shoot for the movie The Materialists. Dakota, labeled “Me,” hugs Pedro Pascal, labeled “My Newest Novel.” Chris Evans is tossing rose petals at them. He is labeled “My shelved novels, which may never see the light of day, but helped me develop my skills.”

A few weeks ago, I sat on the Capitol steps from dawn to dusk to sound the alarm about the coming Republican tax bill—and how it would hurt kids, seniors, and middle-class Americans who are just trying to get by.

The bill is now here. And it's worse than many expected ⬇️

This is how that conversation went, right?

Brennan: Murph, we’d love for you to be part of our wrestling season at D20. Are you able to take a break from NADDPOD?

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman.bsky.social · Apr 1

If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Simpsons meme: “Don’t Forget: You’re Here Forever” covered up with pictures leaving letters spelling “Do It For Her” visible. The pictures of Maggie Simpson are replaced with scenes from the Spider-Verse film series, including the announcement of the third film’s 2027 release date.

Is there a kosher Indian restaurant called Masala Tov?

If not, there really should be.

*Ms. Casey voice* Your Audi makes smooth hairpin turns. Your Audi makes other cars happy to be around it. Your Audi can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in three point three-and-a-half seconds.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

a tiny white dog stands on a tile floor and looks up at you. they’re wearing a big plush yellow star around their teensy noggin, like the world’s most congratulatory lion mane. we really needed to see her today.

Unrelated to CR but I LOVE your letterpress prints!!! I’ve been to Hatch Show Print twice, it’s such a staple.

Oof that’s a LOT. 🫠 is there any room to get yourself a little treat to break up the stress?

Guy on the train nearly forgot his phone he left charging.
I said “Aah! Timing is everything!”
He laughed and said “Will you marry me?”
“What??”
“Would you marry a Moroccan guy?”
All my flustered brain could think to say was “not today!”

I needed the smile, thanks, guy. :)
