In AmLit we’re studying legacy and the way people who have immigrated to America engage with cultural heritage and memory. We read @markdoesstuff.bsky.social’s ‘No Me Dejas’ and my students, who’ve read a hundred different texts this year, were INVOLVED. Teach it! slate.com/technology/2...

Popular books in the Fort Worth Public Library System in 2024. Thank you Forth Worth Library Patrons! We love seeing both The Chalice of the Gods and now in paperback the Nico and Will book The Sun and the Star by authors @markdoesstuff.bsky.social and @rickriordan.bsky.social

My 1st @markdoesstuff.bsky.social of the year! They do such an amazing job of writing grief, and showing that it can be a long process. (I know I will probably be walking into the kitchen looking for Baby Kitty forever!) Also, it’s just a good, creepy story that highlights the strength of family!

Gen ai is poisoning our power grid, stealing intellectual property, using precious water, and ruining the internet with unreliable information and garbage imagery. Don't use it, and don't normalize it, even for laughs.

I just finished Jasmine is Haunted by @markdoesstuff.bsky.social and…my heart 😭😭, it’s a beauuutiful middle grades book.

US friends, I'm very excited to announce that @tordotcom.bsky.social is sending me on tour for THE RIVER HAS ROOTS next year! Confirmed so far are stops in NYC, Portland ME, Chapel Hill, Cincinatti, & St. Louis, & you can book your tickets now! us.macmillan.com/tours/amal-e...

FWIW: I genuinely & firmly believe that Palestine is one of very few instances where Posting About It actually makes a material difference (because of Palestine Exception bullshit, ironclad media silencing of Palestinian voices, & the COST of speaking up), so if you haven't? Maybe consider it?

Two more days until my San Francisco event and final event of 2024!!! Come hang, friends! 👻

this is an open letter to publishers from @authorsabb.bsky.social. it should give you an idea of what authors are currently up against in the united states, especially those who are making books that contain marginalized characters (even and especially if those "characters" are ourselves).

Hi, one of the best things I’ve read all year. 👽

It's almost like the IDF has a pattern of testing the waters on horrific actions, brushing them aside successfully on the world stage by promising an investigation, and then continuing to do the exact same horrific actions they pretended to investigate It's almost like this is super predictable!

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen. What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

There’s an Amazon picket line, so don’t cross it. Buy books from Libro.fm or bookshop.org instead and support your local indies!! (Maybe even try out an enemies to lovers rom com written by yours truly idk idk)

Yara is raising money for her family's survival in Gaza. Please give if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

Do what @shariwrites.bsky.social says ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

I love this book so much!!! And there’s a giveaway attached to this 👀

I know airports are already liminal spaces, but airports at 4:30am are another realm. A Muzak version of Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” on a loop in the bathroom. Watched someone buy an iced coffee, down the whole thing in one go, then whisper, “Goddamn it.” Lawless place.

If you’re in New York City today, come out to the Brooklyn Book Festival! I’ll be on a panel today at 4pm!!

I am still reading stuff here! Just in case you wondered. I will one day participate more, I swear. 🫡

I do occasionally check this so how. I have a wonderful contribution up for #BooksForMaui: a complete signed collection of my books AND a one-hour school visit ✌🏽❤️ www.32auctions.com/organization...
