about their stories, I hope that a bookseller will look beyond repetitive best-of lists & become the force that propells an unknown title into the hands of readers.

There are so many amazing books that aren't on a list that deserve spotlight. Thinking of them and their talented authors. ❤️ 3/3

The forces at play that winnow the thousands down to the handful are unseen and frankly still mysterious to me. At this time of year, I want the authors of books that aren't on the lists to know that they are worthy too and I hope they find devoted readers who will talk enthusiastically 2/?

I should probably drop a link here to help you also find a copy of this award-winning, genre-blending mystery/suspense/speculative cli-fi novel written by a nerdy climate policy professional: www.lisabrideau.com/adrift

I am always here to see souvenir fountain pens (or other stationary treats) but you have me extra intrigued!

This is the best explanation that there could have been, honestly. “With this photo there is a mystery, so you have to make it last.” amazing.

I've never seen anything like it before! Nature really is wild.

oh, oh, I want to know all about the stationary shops!

Hello! Thanks! I'm excited to make stuff and learn. Nice to have it locked in for 2026.

Thanks for having me, Hisham - it's a big topic your class is grappling with! Hope you all have rich discussions. Appreciate the shout out for Adrift too! 😊

Wow, I had no idea!! This probably explains how the PW review of my debut got the plot wrong in its summary - someone was skimming because they were being paid in couch change and pocket lint for their time.

Love this so much. ❤️❤️
