This was my favorite book of 2024 and will absolutely be on a “best of all time” list for me!
THE REFORMATORY is out in paperback today!!!

I built the cute Lego bookshelf add-on; my first adult Lego project, and I absolutely loved it!

I need to post my final 3 top 20 books but I took this past weekend off of Bluesky and with my current social media break I was totally social media free and it was so lovely! Excited to set new boundaries all around as I come back online.

Next time you have an idea that seems too crazy, just remember that John Woo once walked into an office and said "I wanna make a movie where Nick Cage plays John Travolta playing Nick Cage, and John Travolta plays Nick Cage playing John Travolta," and someone wrote him a check for 80 million dollars
