Confession: I sleep with this book. Don’t worry—it’s the audiobook, and I have insomnia, The Same Bright Stars brings me so much joy that when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can easily slip into the world so artfully created by Ethan Joella and feel at peace.

I just built a raised bed garden and the next day it grew a dog! Can’t wait to see what happens when I plant the beans.

There’s a new Carl Hiaasen book coming out! Fever Beach drops on May 13th. I’m counting down the days like Christmas is coming. In celebration of the imminent arrival of Fever Beach, I decided to write a review of one of my favorite books. Read the review on IG www.instagram.com/p/DIO_v3aAX7...

Compassion is the crown jewel in the character of a truly noble man.” — Abraham Lincoln

I took the photo of Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt two years ago and have tried several times to write a review. Nothing I wrote could do it justice.

This book will make you smile and laugh and cry.

His name is Ansel, but he prefers King.

Hi! I’m happy to be here. This is Ansel. He’s a black and white dog named after a black and white photographer. This is how he looked election night. Dogs know.
