A Halloween installment of "Cryptic Crossword Clues That Don't Quite Work In My Accent": Spooner says torn head is occupied by spirits (7)

To celebrate the release of How to Talk to Your Dog About Murder, Spotify's hooked me up with a few free copies of the audiobook so I can spread the love. Make me laugh with a story about a silly pet! I'll pick a couple entries randomly and send access codes.

Happy #pubday to these mysteries and thrillers! @lynliaobutler.bsky.social, @emilysoderberg.bsky.social

Happy Book Birthday @emilysoderberg.bsky.social

Argh! *shakes fist at hypothetical commentary* "Imagine if they didn't have those three turnovers..." We brought you in to report what happens. Not suggest some counterfactual alternatives.

Sometimes, when you get acronyms with multiple possible meanings, the options are related to each other and have a high degree of overlap, so you have to pay careful attention to the context to decide which is meant. "Tackles for loss" and "thermo-fused laminate" are not like that.

Whatever your opinion about the watering-down of the word "literally," I think we can all agree that, when used as an intensifier, it should be paired with something a little hyperbolic. Tony Romo just said of a call, "This is going to be literally really close."

Ah, college football season. When it's suddenly acceptable for an announcer in his sixties to get up on TV and describe a nineteen-year-old as "a really good-looking tight end." I'm surprised shipping isn't a thing in sports yet (as far as I know.)

Time for an installment of "Cryptic Crossword Clues That Don't Quite Work In My Accent." Cease, or listen to playground equipment (6)

I just want to watch a low-stakes football game before conference play starts. I don't want to have to see Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Get off the screen! wps.

Last day for the Barnes & Noble preorder sale! Make sure you've reserved a copy of How to Talk to Your Dog About Murder! (Plus any other preorders you've had your eye on.) www.barnesandnoble.com/w/how-to-tal...

Just found out that Ariadne Oliver, Agatha Christie's mystery novelist character, has a book called "The Affair of the Second Goldfish." German must have a word for when you want to read a book, but its existence is purely fictional. Unerreichbarwegenfictivsehnsuchtkeit? Probably not. ☹️

Is this weird? I just started a nonfiction popular history audiobook. When quoting people like Herodotus and Ovid, the narrator used the same (British) accent as for the rest of the text. But when quoting Ibrahim ibn Yaqub, suddenly he started putting on a foreign accent.

You guys! As of today, Alec Frankel with IAG is going to be working with my agent, Michelle Hauck, and the team at Storm Literary as a co-agent for film and TV rights for How to Talk to Your Dog About Murder! 😳😳 So, yeah. I'm having a pretty good day!

Six flying vultures gaze upon my chalk outline, wishing they’d just been quicker. #pangramThursday

So excited to share the cover of @emilysoderberg.bsky.social upcoming book at @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social

"Sequoia” is a vexing, junk word for my pangram, because of the vowel blitz. #pangramThursday

Thrilled to share the news of a cozy mystery coming this fall from client Emily Soderberg! HOW TO TALK TO YOUR DOG ABOUT MURDER is fun and lighthearted and just the sort of book to sink into a forget the world! (It's on NetGalley next week!)

Wolf / big fuzzy dog mix-up exposes quack vet as major phony. #pangramThursday

I was trying to look up which episode of "Landscape Artist of the Year" had a segment on Dylan Thomas. Google AI super helpfully bumped relevant results down the page to tell me this:

"The Groovy Squeezebox," as the accordion joint was known, felt empty. #pangramThursday

Everybody knows the OG pangram, but I much prefer: The lazy brown dog "jumped" over the quick fox. With a sketch to communicate my vision.

I was all grumpy about a mistake in a NYT crossword puzzle, but I did some googling, and whada ya know? In 2016, Elmo moved into 123 Sesame Street. What a world we live in.
