Cheers to Ted Lasso for completely upgrading this scene

Me: (I wonder why my daughter is into manga. It’s so hard to keep up with everything and all the storylines.) Also me to my daughter: They needed to get the approval of the queen, who is actually Queen Charlotte, and guess who she’s married to? George III, the same one from Hamilton….

If you have a ridiculously expensive house on or near a main road and celebrate Christmas, your decorations better be lit.

Rewatching Season 2 of Bridgerton for no particular reason and remembering that the third episode of the season is probably my favorite ever. Completely changed my opinion of Anthony, made me love Daphne and Penelope even more, and Benedict high at dinner? No notes

Two things that make me feel like Bob Cratchit: my salary and the temperature of my work place

I love when students are like, “Here’s this essay that’s three weeks late. Can you grade it immediately?” Sure thing, buddy, but I don’t think you’ll like it

I’m so sad to hear about the loss of Tom Stoppard. I fell in love with this play and it brought me to read more of his brilliant works

Just a warning to parents who haven’t watched Home Alone yet this year: all the house numbers start with 67

Helping a student write an essay about Inigo Montoya reminds me why I love my job

To WFH, perchance to have time to write….

I really appreciate when literary agents say right at the top of their MSWL that they’re closed for queries so I don’t scroll all the way through only to have my heart broken lol

If you’re looking forward to the film Hamnet, check out Elsinore, another view of one of Shakespeare’s most famous works

Imagine if Obama was carrying on building a new ballroom and telling Dems to change the rules instead of trying to talk to Republicans

Fun fact: Elsinore started out as a Nano project. It’s gone through quite a lot since then, but I still remember being very proud about hitting that word count before the buzzer Good luck to all those trying!

My 6 year old just told me that while trick or treating she had a new way to summon me at night She proceeded to show me: a whistle First of all, no. But also, what monster gave out whistles on Halloween?!

English major friends reading my book: I love it! Extended family reading my book: I love it! My sister reading my book: You spelled Britney Spears wrong.

The only thing sadder than people losing SNAP is knowing how many people in this country rely on it

Me right now. #booksky #writesky

Me: I’m going to think positive thoughts and try to have a good day today! Life: I’d like to present you with a new unprecedented problem with no obvious or easy solution to plague you for at least 24 hours. Probably more

Accidentally re-queried an agent with the same work 🤦‍♀️ I’m sorry!

People criticizing Deliver Me From Nowhere by its trailer: No way, man. Bruce smiles and sings songs like Dancing in the Dark, man. Me: Um, this is about his Nebraska era! Learn his eras!

Awww, a friend who already wrote a nice review for my activity book on Amazon just sent me another picture of her daughter coloring in it because she loves it so much! 😊

I’m only 3 episodes in to the Summer I Turned Pretty and I feel like the endgame is very clear…. The curse of being an English major who enjoys classic films

Watching Nightmare Before Christmas with my 6 year old and she asked why Sally was worried about Jack taking over Christmas

If you like books with: Mysterious deaths Haunted pasts Graveyards Old houses Nightmares Check out Elsinore, a modern take on the fate of Ophelia

Have to finish some September reads before I can move into spooky one #amreading

I did not think fighting fascism would feel like mediating a toddler tantrum but at least I’m used to that

Wait, no one has seen a certain someone today, October 3rd, also known as Mean Girls Day and the day of Taylor Swift’s new album release…. Is he hiding, or was the spell already cast?

Trump was familiar with Project 2025 this whole time? Surely you jest

It’s like the boys who weren’t allowed to sit next to each other in school are suddenly in charge of our country

The ongoing of struggle of trying to promote my book and being excited about my book but also being scared to tell people about my book in case they hate it

If you insist on always pointing fingers, I suggest you start with a mirror

As cool as she was, some of us millennials are satisfied with how Amelia Earhart’s legacy has been covered by the likes of Legends of the Hidden Temple and Night at the Smithsonian, as well as a feature film. So, just release the Epstein files already

I can understand why authors dream of having their work in bookstores. I’ve always dreamed of having mine in libraries

Finding the perfect Bruce Springsteen song to accompany my book about a modern Ophelia makes me so incredibly happy

Just made my first ever mood board for Elsinore #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

A colleague just started reading my book and just told me she loves finding all the Hamlet Easter eggs!

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder x Hamlet When a graduate student is forced to write about the tragic events that took place years ago in Elsinore, New York, she begins to reveal the truth about the fate of a young girl named Ophelia

Omg, Taylor Swift is promoting my book! www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainmen...

Just a little more summer, please

Let’s just add Tucker Carlson defending Jimmy Kimmel to the list of reasons I don’t understand reality anymore

The sheer hypocrisy of suspending Jimmy Kimmel for comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who apparently was the hero of free speech, is infuriating and terrifying.

I feel like I’m in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead: “We only know what we’re told, and that’s little enough. And for all we know it isn’t even true.”

The crazy thing about publishing is that you have to understand that not everyone will like your book, but you truly hope that someone will love it

As a Jersey girl, the roller coaster relationship I’m in with Cory Booker that he knows nothing about is exhausting

The only thing more heartbreaking than hearing about the hangings is not hearing about them from the mainstream media

I was feeling a little extra self conscious about promoting my book today. Then I remembered JD Vance also wrote one

A bit hypocritical to be firing people over their posts about Charlie Kirk, no?
