Pocket Friends! Why did no one tell me @jensookfonglee.bsky.social has a new novel out? I swear I was just going into the bookstore to soak up the vibes and now I have a book about complex women and family trauma to read! Sorry, Katie, I was going to finish yours but this is a reading emergency!

Happy second birthday to Grey Dog! This book has changed my life in so many ways, and I am so grateful that I was given the chance to share it with the world. (Thanks, @ecwpress.bsky.social!)

In #TheHungerWePassDown, @jensookfonglee.bsky.social has written a terrifying, visceral story of generational trauma and how it is passed down through five generations of women. #BookSky TY to #NetGalley and @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social for the ARC for my honest review here:

It's so rare to see real book reviews in Canada anymore, so I really treasure this one from the Winnipeg Free Press by Keith Cadieux. "A novel of excellent literary merit and a pitch-perfect ghost story." www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

Not every class needs to be a masterclass. I'm happy with a Mostly Competent Class.

Some great words & people found at @wordvancouver.bsky.social Great to meet Gary Jones who hosted @wongski.bsky.social & I on our books about #Vancouver music and venues. …And honoured to moderate a discussion w/ #scottalexanderhoward & @jensookfonglee.bsky.social on their new books!

Well, look at that. THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN is a Globe bestseller in its first week of life! I had better celebrate this weekend because this may never happen again lol.

"I did not scare myself. I *delighted* myself." 🔥 The iconic and delightful @jensookfonglee.bsky.social speaks to @harrisonmooney.bsky.social about her new book, The Hunger We Pass Down. I can't wait to read it. thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

Spooky music for your spooky reading time! You know you want it! music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

TFW you talk about your long retired therapist on national public radio and she messages you because she heard it and you immediately panic because the one person in the world you do not want to piss off is the mental health practitioner who knows all your secrets.

It's very on brand for me to talk about the indignities of the female body but did you also know I can talk about GHOSTS? My interview with Q on CBC is online now! www.cbc.ca/arts/q/jen-s...

Every white guy musician at the MTV VMAs this year looks like Wheels from Degrassi.

TFW you find out your university has published a "prominent alumnus" profile about a classmate who was always a super douche and now is very wealthy from investing in things no one likes and is also a straight white man, but have never featured you or your THIRTEEN books in anything at all.

I've been saving this blurb for last because I am the biggest Kelly Link fan ever. KELLY LIKES MY BOOK. What is this dream I am living in?? Anyway, THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN comes out next Tuesday in Canada, September 30th in the US. I love you, I want to scare you.

Most Canadians oppose book bans. Most Canadians want their kids to have access to a wide range of books. Most Canadians trust teachers and librarians to build library collections. The government should not be telling teens what they can and can't read. Now is an important time to speak up.

I don't know if 90s Burnout is a genre of person yet, but it should be.

MONIKA GETS MY BOOK. I am so pleased that the brilliant, sharp, and all around amazing author Monika Kim likes The Hunger We Pass Down. In bookstores across North America this September!

Okay, this new Devo documentary is legit one of the best manifestos for using comedy and art as resistance. God, these guys. The best.

I'm so excited to share my love for Denison Avenue by Christina Wong & Daniel Innes in my Stop! Look! Listen! spot on @fiddlehd.bsky.social online! This and much more in my latest #Substack post: Hyperfixation, New Published Work, and Comedy. open.substack.com/pub/juicygre... #writerlife

AINSLIE HOGARTH LIKES MY BOOK. We are nearing publication in September!

You guys, @daviddemchuk.com likes THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN! My little horror loving heart is full! Out this September in the US and Canada.

A very special blurb from the inimitable @jessicastellaa.bsky.social! This one made me cry. THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN, out September 9 in Canada, September 30 in the US!

The countdown to THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN is on! I'll be sharing more nice things in the weeks to come, but for now here is a very lovely blurb from the brilliant Alex Gonzalez. You can preorder now! Publishing on September 9 in Canada and September 30 in the US. MORE FROM ME SOON.

A STARRED REVIEW FOR THE HUNGER WE PASS DOWN! So nice to see people picking up the spookiness I'm putting down. www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

you have to like women to connect with them

The thing about the Sydney denim ad is that she has been touted by incels and white supremcists as the ideal Aryan woman for a while, which she and her team should be well aware of. The ad then is exploiting that, not refuting it. This is abhorrent and craven capitalist behaviour.

THREAD .1 We have a new signed book that I want to tell you about: It Can't Rain All The Time, an appreciation of The Crow (1994). It's a powerful piece of personal writing as well as film criticism: the first book by the brilliant @alishamgl.bsky.social of Toronto. mzs.press/SIGNED-It-Ca...

Six years ago, when @staceymayfowles.bsky.social and I published Whatever Gets You Through: 12 Survivors on Life After Sexual Assault, we had hoped for better. If you need it, the book is at libraries and retailers and, if you need me, I am holding you in my grief. greystonebooks.com/products/wha...

The Hunger We Pass Down is featured!

I don't know how Post Malone became the post-racial shapeshifter of our time but here we are, I guess.
