Just finished “The Ten Thousand Doors of January” by Alix Harrow. Loved the story. Loved the style of the physical book. Love when an author has a witty jacket bio. 💕

Before arguing with friends or family around the Thanksgiving table, take a look at the science behind arguing better. And it'll never hurt to try this: "Listen to people, get them to think about their own experience, and highlight your common humanity." https://t.co/AZC9kpqoqx

Jane Fonda moved to Washington in September to highlight the urgency of the climate crisis by staging protests at the Capitol. She has been arrested every Friday for the past 4 weeks and expects to turn 82 in jail, on Dec. 21. https://t.co/CRseH5cjo9

Happy Pride & Prejudice Day! On this day in 1813, Jane Austen published her famous novel and we still can't get enough of it today. Authors like @csittenfeld, Katherine J. Chen, and @SoniahKamal have since put their own spin on the classic story; check out their books below!

JUST IN: Poet Mary Oliver has died at 83. Oliver won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for poems about nature and animals which made her one of this country’s best-selling poets. To be understood, poetry "mustn't be fancy," she once told NPR.

[POETRY magazine @poetrymagazine]

I learned quickly that poetry does not have to be about flowers or trees when there is a poverty line, when there are hands without gloves in the winter, when there is always something we are running toward.
