I do book stuff when I'm not doing other things

@NYCMayor How will you be providing support for city employees with school-aged kids? We need to repeal the 2 case rule and get kids back in school! #keepNYCschoolsopen

Oh my fucking god it’s real. The Trump team booked the wrong “four seasons” and now it all ends in a landscaping firm parking lot. Unbelievable. It should be illegal to be this happy

In an effort to feel something other than anxiety last night, I started watching Normal People. And...mission accomplished. 💔

Trump wants to go to war with Philadelphia? Seriously? Good luck with that, writes @AdrienneLaF: https://t.co/WgNdml5yES

A few things got me through the 2000 election. Nice to see that alcohol and @ElieNYC are still here 20 years later being the MVPs of election week. @rizzleperizzle

It just occurred to me that this election is following the plot of The Notebook:

- A white house
- Mail that wasn’t received
- A lot of fighting
- It wasn’t over
- It still isn’t over

I learned from a literary agent yesterday that one impact from Covid is that debut book sales are down. People aren’t browsing the “New Releases” table in bookstores. Can you name one debut author you’ve joyfully discovered this year so we can spread the word?

Of all the things I like about Folklore, the earnest singing of the words “meet me behind the mall” is at the top of the list.

New data on child care centers. 57,000 providers. No increased COVID-19 risk of providing care in person.

Happy pub day to new PLM client @justjuliawhelan, whose novel MY OXFORD YEAR is out from @WmMorrowBooks! Perfect for fans of ME BEFORE YOU, Kirkus aptly called it "a beautiful, romantic story that focuses on big ideas—love, death, poetry, and what really matters in the end."

@NYCTSubway why take a full s/b F train of people 1 stop to 2nd Ave (w/o announcement) only to terminate!? The platform crowding was unsafe!

[Abby Koons @abbykoons]

@NYCTSubway where are the n/b R trains at Union St? Packed platform. Waiting 15+ min and can't get on the one that just arrived.
