Half-off me *could* mean a 31.5" tall Erika.
Alas, it is simply a full size (very good) novel at half the price.

So thrilled that PW asked me to do this Q&A with the brilliant, charming, incredibly talented Caroline O'Donoghue. Her new book, SKIPSHOCK, comes out soon, and I can't recommend it highly enough. In the meantime, here's a link to our chat: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
Q & A with Caroline O’Donoghue
Irish author Caroline O’Donoghue's latest YA novel, 'Skipshock,' a time-shifting fantasy, may well be her most ambitious project to date.

If I say "magical interworld post office" and you think, "oo, tell me more," then you should definitely check out Emily J. Taylor's latest, THE OTHERWHERE POST. It doesn't come out until 2/25, though, so in the meantime, here's a Q&A I did with her for PW: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Imagine you and your family becoming the unwitting enemies of a QAnon-style viral cult convinced you're about to trigger the apocalypse. That's the premise of Edgar winner @alisongaylin.bsky.social's riveting new novel, WE ARE WATCHING, which drops today. I freakin' loved it. Maybe you will too.

The Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie snubs are aggressively obtuse. Gosling's nomination, in the face of their absence, only underscores the point of Gerwig's film.

ME REX’s Giant Elk, out today, is the best album I’ve heard in ages—idiosyncratic, anthemic, and frequently breathtaking. If you’re the sort of hopeless relic who believes rock music still matters, you owe it to yourself to give it a spin.
