I know there’s so much pain in the world right now, but one of the families I supported during the wildfires is seeking help for a dear friend. Serena’s story touched me deeply, and I hope you’ll consider donating or sharing their GFM. gofund.me/29c10259

😐 Yeah, you know the drill. Call and raise hell with your reps.

Tomorrow is going to be a book distribution event for the ages. If you lost your books in the Los Angeles wildfires, you absolutely need to stop by Diesel Bookstore in Santa Monica from 3-6 to “shop” our selection of new and like new books. Please share this thread so folks can find us. 🙏📚❤️‍🩹

Surprise! We have another book distribution event this Sunday for folks who lost their books in the Los Angeles wildfires. We will have thousands of brand new (and like new) books for people to use to rebuild their classroom and personal libraries. Please help us spread the word! 📚❤️‍🩹🙏

One of the biggest jump scares for me is when someone starts telling me that they loved a book and how the NYT bestselling author is one of their favorites… …meanwhile, I ghostwrote the book they’re talking about and have to pretend I’ve never heard of it. 😮‍💨

I started reading Hamlet with my students. They clocked that boy from the very first scene. Student: RIP Hamlet, you would’ve loved My Chemical Romance.

Hey all. So, unfortunately, the Technicolor closure news hits a little close to home. And by that I mean my spouse’s entire company has been dissolved and he and all of his coworkers are out of jobs. Sort of in shock at the moment (considering we found out Friday and he was terminated today).

Amazon's changing the way the Kindle works on Tuesday, so if you want to download and de-DRM your books, you have until the 26th to get it done. I wrote a quick how-to, for anyone who is interested: next.content.town/p/kindle-drm...

Yes. See thread below for resources. Measles has an R0 of 12-18. That means every person with the measles infects 12-18 other people. In comparison, COVID's R0 is about 2-3. **If you're immunocompromised, travel a lot, work w/immunocompromised people or work in healthcare, ask your PCP abt booster!

As a girl with ADHD, audiobooks have been a lifesaver. I have been able to read so much more because of audiobooks. And now, I get to listen to potential narrators for the audiobook production of my debut novel. I get to hear master storytellers read words that I wrote.

Any Buffy fans out there??? If so, you might be excited about the very first blurb for DIFFICULT GIRLS. 👀👀👀

I am humbled and grateful to have our book drive work recognized by Los Angeles leaders! This would not be possible without the support of every donor, volunteer, and bookstore who jumped into action to support those who lost their libraries in the Los Angeles wildfires. Thank you all so much!

Los Angeles/Pasadena/Altadena! We still have thousands of new and like new books at @dympasadena! We will be here until 5 p.m. All books are free and we have books for all ages!

All of these books are available for anyone who lost their libraries in the Los Angeles wildfires! We are at DYM Books & Boba in Pasadena until 5 today and back from 10-5 tomorrow. Come on down! Thank you to all of our amazing donors for making this possible. ❤️‍🩹📚

Calling all book lovers looking to help those who lost books in the LA fires! A school librarian needs books for their annual sci-fi festival. Purchasing books also supports Octavia’s Bookshelf, an indie that stepped up to help victims of the fires with necessities. tinyurl.com/OEBbookfair2...

Authors, publishers, and other bookish folks! I come to you with a specific ask for the book drive that I hope you will share widely. Essentially, I need specific books to meet the needs of teachers/families who lost their books in the LA wildfires. 🙏 Here is that list: tinyurl.com/LAFireBookDr...

We’re not done yet! We’re doing another event in Pasadena at Dym to support anyone affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. We’ll have a fresh selection of new and like new books for anyone affected by the fires to shop. Please share widely so we can support as many people as possible! 📚❤️‍🩹🙏

Our book distribution event at Diesel Bookstore was an enormous success! We were able to give away over 5,000 new and like new books to teachers and families who lost their libraries in the wildfires. ❤️‍🩹📚

Yesterday, one of my HS students came up to me fighting back tears. A student who told me back in August that they didn’t love reading. She was just about to finish the book I had recommended she read.

I am extraordinarily humbled and grateful to say that our book drive efforts have been covered by Marc Weingarten and the Los Angeles Times! I am so thankful for the coverage as it helps us connect with more people in need. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

With the book drive, I haven't had time to make a graphic for the B&N sale for my @getunderlined.bsky.social book (out 7/8). Luckily, Bodhi volunteered to take the lead on the task. Please tell him what a good job he did because graphic design is his passion and he really tried his best. 🥹

I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for all of you! Over the past week, I have picked up six full hampers of boxes of books at the post office. I spent this weekend organizing and making deliveries all over the Altadena/Pasadena area where families and teachers have relocated.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Help educators and readers affected by the Los Angeles wildfires! 🧡 Visit Diesel Bookstore from 2-6 pm on February 8. Thousands of books for all ages to choose from. Contact @veronicabane.bsky.social for more info 😊

Thrilled to announce our next event to support those who lost their books in the Los Angeles fires. This one will support those affected by the Palisades Fire, so please help us spread the word. 🙏❤️‍🩹📚

When I sent out the call to support teachers and readers who lost their libraries in the Los Angeles wildfires, I knew the author and bookish community would respond. But I have been blown away.

During today’s event, we gave out over 2,000 books to families and teachers who lost their libraries in the Los Angeles wildfires. We were able to spend $1700 to buy a portion of those books from a local indie bookstore. The remaining new and like new books were donated by the bookish community. 📚❤️‍🩹

Boost - if you want to talk to me about politics OR hear stories about my cats? It's all to help LA fire relief.

Los Angeles! If you are a reader or teacher who lost your library to the fires, we have over 5,000 brand new or like new books for you to help you rebuild. 📚❤️‍🩹 We will be hosting our first event at Black Cat Fables this Fri/Saturday for you to “shop” our donations. Please boost! 🙏

Incredibly grateful to Forbes and Toni Fitzgerald for such fantastic reporting on our efforts to get books into the hands of teachers and readers who lost their libraries in the Los Angeles fires! Thank you for helping us spread the word. 📚❤️‍🩹 www.forbes.com/sites/tonifi...

I have been curating book boxes for teachers and readers who lost their libraries in the fire using donations from the bookish community, and I think I deserve a lil commotion for this YA box. What a fantastic start for a classroom library. Look at these gems! Thank you donors for these books. 🥹📚❤️‍🩹

Here is a full trunk of boxes of books that I delivered today to teachers who lost their classroom libraries in the Los Angeles fires. This is all thanks to incredible donors who are supporting our LA community. I truly cannot thank you all enough.

Sending out the call again because I am now in desperate need of middle grade and sci-fi/fantasy YA books! 🙏 Oh, and graphic novels and (middle/HS appropriate) manga! Please boost so we can reach as many folks as possible! ❤️‍🩹📚

A huge evening thank you to everyone who kindly responded to questions for me in the replies of my last thread. It was a busy teaching day today through lunch and after school, so your help made a world of difference. ❤️ Hoping to get caught up on emails tomorrow. Thank you for your patience! 📚❤️‍🩹

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Thank you so much Diana! This community is absolutely the best. 🥹

Thanks to all of you, I had the distinct privilege today of dropping off the first boxes of books at a school that’s rebuilding from the LA wildfires. Because of your donations, teachers and children who lost everything have new books to read. And the best part is we’re only getting started! ❤️‍🩹📚

I am overwhelmed with gratitude! Thank you @slj.com for boosting our efforts so that we can get as many books to as many LA teachers and readers as possible. Please keep sharing so we can get to all of them! ❤️‍🩹🙏 www.schoollibraryjournal.com/story/YA-Aut...
