On this day, six years ago, I found out that some copies of my book (FURIOUSLY HAPPY) were randomly interspersed with pages from Game of Thrones. I replaced all the ones I found, but I suspect there are still some out there, confusing the shit out of readers who thought I just made a weird choice.

Played Cards Against Humanity with my mom, my child and their sweetheart. So awkward. So hilarious. Dorothy Barker also played by choosing random cards and she did shockingly well.

Our Black Friday deal at @nowherebookshop.bsky.social is that we’re closing to give our whole team a paid holiday on Thursday and Friday. :) I’m not sure we’re doing capitalism right but it feels good.

We’re taking Hailey and their partner on a road trip to @meowwolfgrapevine for their 19th birthday and then dropping them back at college on the way home so that means 4am birthday cake. WE PLAN THINGS SO WELL.
