I am not on Letterboxd because I simply don’t want to, but here is my Letterboxd top 4 in case I’m ever on a red carpet and they ask: -(500) Days of Summer -Penelope -Back to the Future -Shrek (These choices will impress no one and I don’t care.)

OMZ* what a day of mixed-AF emotions: Zombie and Brain is an INSTANT NYTimes bestseller at NUMBER 5! Congrats to the whole Zombie team! @laancham.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @thejordache.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

It’s been about a year since I did a cut paper craft, but my yearly rewatch of Gravity Falls inspired me to make a little booklet! #gravityfalls

“If you don’t use AI now you’ll fall behind!” I’m sorry, do you think typing a prompt into a box is hard?

Constantly torn between wanting cook a bunch of food for my loved ones and hating having people in my house.

My prediction for how The Summer I Turned Pretty will differ from the book: Belly & Conrad do not kiss before the wedding. Belly makes the active choice not to marry Jeremiah instead of~*the drama*~ breaking them up. She will not immediately end up w/ Conrad. 1/2

OH MY ZODx2!! 💚🧠Look who's on this list from the Washington Post among so many other amazing creators of kidlit! 🧠💚 #ZombieAndBrainAreFriends @laancham.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social

ZOMG! Zombie and Brain is #1 on Barnes & Nobles' Best Books of September list!! "Ghoulishly sweet, this is a no-brainer when it comes to kids’ picture books." HOW DID THEY THINK OF A BRAIN PUN I DIDN'T INCLUDE IN THE BOOK?? @alexborbolla.bsky.social www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/septemb...

As the ppl in my life started having kids, I’ve made it a habit to always congratulate the parents on their child’s first birthday for surviving their first year of parenthood. It’s arguably a bigger accomplishment than whatever that baby has been up to.

So honored to have our book included on the ABA's Kids' Indie Next list for September/October! All the indie booksellers' love for this book has been AMAZING! @laancham.bsky.social @jemiscoe.bsky.social @thejordache.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social

Taylor Swift is scheming. I can feel it.

We don’t actually know what Hamilton’s zodiac sign is so @alexborbolla.bsky.social and I decided he’s an Aquarius (which matches Burr) (which would explain a lot about their dynamic)

Thought making my editing calendar for my Winter and Spring 27 books would make me feel better about my schedule for the rest of the year. It didn’t 🙃

Hot take: Living in the city isn’t as hard as people say it is. Some people just don’t like city life, and that’s totally fine—but they should admit that instead of blaming the city itself.

The rumors are true: KPop Demon Hunters is enormously fun and I will be listening to the soundtrack all day.

Just remembered I have a nemesis.

How am I doing? My fyp has reached levels of “sad Michael Scott edits set to ‘The Prophecy’ by Taylor Swift.”

Anyone else worry that one of the NYT Games editors is on the train with them and thinking how dumb you are for needing a hint in Strands? Just me?

Rank Zohran #1!!! DO NOT RANK CUOMO

I got my first mosquito bite of the season and it has already swelled up to the size of a ping pong ball. I hope all of you who wished for this summer hellscape are happy.

Oh, wow. To go from no books on the Bank Street lists to TWO in one year is truly amazing. I'm actually speechless in wonder and gratitude.

Thank you for this amazing review, @publisherswkly.bsky.social! @laancham.bsky.social @literaticat.bsky.social @jemiscoe.bsky.social @alexborbolla.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social

Watching Jason Mantzoukas on Taskmaster is the most patriotic I’ve felt in years.

I’m hiring an intern! If you or someone you know is enthusiastic about children’s books, apply at the link below (please do not DM me, it will not help your chances): recruiting.paylocity.com/Recruiting/J...

I can…log off early today? I don’t need to spend half my weekend editing? I forgot what this was like.

I’ve decided to have an NPC summer. I don’t want to be the main character. I want to pop into people’s stories with a funny one-liner and then sit in the background with nothing going on behind my eyes. That sounds like true peace.

Daredevil is filming at the diner on our block, which I guess makes sense since it was also the subject of an episode of Kitchen Nightmares—you’d have to be a daredevil to eat there!

Ladies, never introduce your man to your best friend because they might start a D&D campaign and you’ll have no one to bother with your every thought on Thursday nights.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Book people really are the best people 🥲

I have been anxious for so long. It is like I am trying to break the world record for how long you can consecutively be anxious.

I am THRILLED to announce that I’ve partnered with Jay’s House Bookshop & Bakery, an indie bookstore owned by Black women, to offer their first ever LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR’S BOX featuring LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE!! Buy 🔗: jayshousebooks.com/products/lov...

HERE IT IS!! I haven’t shared much of the completely swoony and gorgeous character art I commissioned of Cayden + Khy because I was waiting to reveal it for this!!! If you’ve already preordered a copy or plan to do so, you’ll get the gorgeous page overlay and a signed book plate!!

Thank you so much, @slj.com, for including Hummingbird Season on this incredible list of books. "A lyrical exploration of mental health through the contrast of the two brothers and their attempts to find hope." www.slj.com/story/togeth...

As a frequent consumer of Scooby Doo content, I don’t know how I feel.

RELEASE DAY! It's RELEASE DAY!! The second book of my VERSUS series has arrived! Place your bets on the outcome when a mummy fights a g-g-ghost! www.amazon.com/Mummy-Vs-You...

There is no insult I love more than, “Have the day you deserve.” So simple. So cutting. Forces such harsh self reflection yet leaves me smelling like a rose.

If you’re looking for a cute & fluffy romance with layers, this book is for you. There’s lots of swoons but also is a coming-of-age story. It dives into the impacts of gentrification, classist attitudes, forging your own path when it might not be what your family desires & healing family rifts.

Still thinking about this & I want to add: I get why Mark S chose Helly. It was clear from season 1 he had no idea who Gemma/Miss Casey was to his outie. But perhaps the show failed slightly developing the Mark S/Helly romance if 1 episode of Mark/Gemma was enough to make me root for them instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m gonna be honest: I never bought Mark S. and Helly R. as a couple. And I still don’t. Still enjoyed the finale, though. #severance

Sometimes I think about how some of my favorite movies when I was 8-10 years old were the live action Josie and the Pussycats, Legally Blonde, Miss Congeniality, and Bring It On and wonder how my parents are surprised I became an anti-capitalist intersectional feminist.

Win or Lose was SUCH an excellent show—the stories were heartfelt and the animation was fresh and imaginative with strong visual metaphors. (Although it was very obvious which episode they adjusted to take out the trans storyline, & it is worse for it 🙃)

Love Spells Trouble is out in just under 4 months! If you haven’t preordered your copy yet, now’s the time to do so and save your receipt because an awesome preorder campaign is going to be announced soon!

Five years ago today. And then I started writing. I needed to document what my kids -- what all of our kids -- were going through. I needed it to let them know it was messed up and that it was okay to not be okay. @thejordache.bsky.social sold it to @alexborbolla.bsky.social.

Reminder, I have a sweet battle-horror series of middle grade books coming out. THE VERSUS! Here are my unboxing photos for the first volume. www.amazon.com/Vampire-Vs-Y...

Here’s a non-spoilery but swoony snippet from LOVE SPELLS TROUBLE where Cayden is delusional over how bad she has it for Khy, the celebutante witch prince she’s only pretending to date in exchange for viral social media fame that’s flooding her family’s struggling bakery with new customers 💕

Hey. NYers. Do me a favor and support the following assembly bills: NY A05464 aka the Freedom to Read Act, which will protect libraries & librarians & NY A05416 aka the Books Save Lives Act, which will require school libraries to maintain a collection of diverse books here's how🧵

Here's my UNBOXING PHOTOS for the second book in the Versus series...MY MUMMY VERSUS YOUR GHOST! It was quite a fight and, uh, didn't go so well for me. But YOU'RE in luck, because the book is almost out! Preorder now! www.amazon.com/Mummy-Vs-You...
