Huge congratulations, Marley! So excited to see this book in the world!

Here’s our announcement: greenmountainbookfestival.substack.com/p/announcing...

What an amazing list!! And thank you for including The Midnight Club!

I did book coverage for 17 years for an alt-weekly—small, rural, always meticulously fact-checked. This is a good response, but it hurts to know that this is the standard being set.

Alt-weeklies still do real book content—including reviews by writers (like me) who actually read the book!

Now we can fight the Nome King! (In the presciently titled TikTok of Oz (1914), eggs and TikTok are his nemeses. There’s also a joke about the price of eggs.)

Vielen Dank!!! (Entschuldigung, ich habe fast kein Deutsch mehr.)

Thank you—I may be curious enough to review it!

If I didn’t like The Greatest Showman and know none of Robbie Williams’ songs, is there a chance I’d still like it? The CG chimp is turning me off.

I review for a newspaper (yes! a real print alt-weekly), but our last art-house theater closed, and the local mainstream theaters sure aren’t promoting The Brutalist. I didn’t receive a screener and have no way of writing about it.

Oh wow, thank you so much!!

I think I just tried to read the same story. “Miniscule” was the last straw.

Another fave: “I couldn’t find your book in B&N. Why don’t you do something about that?” (Me: The internet says the book is in that B&N and there’s nothing I can “do.”)

It’s all relative. When other authors post about getting floods of emails and DMs from readers, I see that as a mark of success because it’s a rare thing for me. A ton of “loves” on Edelweiss is also good.
