Bummed I didn't get any shots of the full panel, but I had a blast visiting the Hyde Park Barnes & Noble (@BNBuzz) yesterday, talking all about #mglit.
Check out the beautiful new store, if you get the chance. The staff is amazing.

I was so honored to sit down with The Book Faire podcast, to talk about the wonders and woes of putting THE LOST THINGS CLUB out into the world.

"Art was the place were sole and soul could mean the same thing."
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of CANDLE ISLAND by Lauren Wolk, published by @penguinrandom. It's an amazingly beautiful, powerful piece of #mglit that will make you laugh and sob.

Wowzers, check out what I learned. @Amazon lists CAPTAIN SUPERLATIVE as a "Teacher's Pick." How cool is that? #Teachers and #Librarians, consider a copy for your classroom?

I'm watching the #TonyAwards and I breathed such a sigh of a relief during the performance from #TheLostBoys when I saw that they've kept the Sax Guy.

Struggling to come up with the perfect Father's Day gift? Get yourself to an independent bookstore, like @57thstreetbooks or Powell's Books. You never know what hidden treasures you may find!

Question for my parasocial friends at @ScreenCrush:
Hey, @ryanarey and @ColtonOgburn, is there a likelihood that Ned and MJ overlap with Riri Williams at @MIT?

Stay vigilant, author friends. The publishing industry is crushing enough, without these scams crawling around.

Which one of my cast of weirdos is most likely to do this? I'm not sure. Let me know.
And if you haven't read THE LOST THINGS CLUB, you can grab a copy online: hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

Independent bookstores are magical places. Exhibit A: Booked Evanston, which I had the pleasure of visiting over the long weekend. Head over yourself soon!

I took a day off work, and decided to spend it doing something completely brainless. So I watched all the way through "Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm." Shockingly, the series passes the Bechdel Test. I didn't have that on my bingo card.

So immensely grateful to Erin Zabawa of Iron Bluff Elementary, over in @ElkhornPS. Thank you for your kind words. Captain Superlative herself would approve!

May the 4th be with you.
Please enjoy a couple of #StarWars puns:
1. What's the internal body temperature of a taun-taun? Luke-warm.
2. Where do Sith buy their jeans? The Darth Maul.
3. When Leia fell for Han, she was looking for love in Alderaan places.
