Street art sticker of the character E.T. placed on a stone wall, cleverly aligned with a red metal fire hose fixture so that the two circular outlets resemble E.T.’s large eyes.

Desperately needed a pick-me-up, so I made a playlist for my new historical novel, The Miniaturist's Assistant. Songs inspired by and/or vibe with the novel: time travel, art, soul, early 2000s/early 1800s, Charleston, SC, love across centuries. open.spotify.com/playlist/776... #playlist #booksky

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Many readers now think of Margaret Wise Brown titles like “The Runaway Bunny” as tranquil introductions to storytelling. But the books, like their author, were radical for their time.
