Horrifying to see my own face on the timeline with that "well yeah it is bad" look on it so many times, but DEEPLY touched to see the reposts and shares. We love you bookternet. We also love supporting authors with preorders and shares! Thank you thank you! -Hannah

Just finished many hours of signing the books you all have preordered from @loyaltybooks.bsky.social. Shout out to those who got books not only for yourself but for your kids, your grandchildren, your students, and even the kid down the street who keeps riding his bike over your lawn. I’m grateful.

Listen, I think if it is gonna storm every afternoon for some random amount of time it should count as automatic reading breaks. We all just stop, drop, and read. No email, no real life, just book. Seems entirely reasonable to me.

Rolling Stone has excerpted an essay from my forthcoming book. It's about what happens when you get all of your info about the world from the TV (cops are heroes!), and then go out into the world and see for yourself. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Copaganda and Me

Maris Kreizman writes about the way police are mythologized in popular culture in this excerpt from her book 'I Want to Burn This Place Down'

Because we are a tiny staff run by overwhelmed elder millennials and mainly by one with rather intense ADHD we sometimes forget to say hi on here. But HI! The bookish community here has been so kind and we're grateful for you tags, props, and questions. 💕
