My sister is a Jet Blue pilot. As kids, we both got really fucking good at Super Mario Bros 3. We've gotten every white mushroom house & treasure ship. We've beat it more times than we can count.
She just found out she's about to fly the MARIO PLANE. www.travelandleisure.com/jetblue-supe...

Lynch was foundational to my work in many ways, but this is what I've thought about the most the past few years: just how much fun you can see him having in Twin Peaks: The Return. Professional transmitter of joy all the way through.

First book of the year, and one I'll be pressing into people's hands forever. Percival Everett is one of our best and funniest writers.

Some *news*: I wrote a haunted house book about suicidal ideation, the horrors of modern motherhood and the mental load, and the creepy doll we found in our yard, and I’m OVER THE DANG MOON to be working on it with Daphne Durham at Putnam.
