@JennyMcLachlan1 Very good idea! I will. Also I thought I'd mention if helpful that there are a few sibling pairs in the club, who I think will be very interested in what your book shows about sibling rivalry and hope for re-connection!

@JennyMcLachlan1 My 11-year old daughter and her book club are reading ROAR for their meeting this Thursday. They would be over the moon to receive a video message from you!

"The imaginative reworking of the mythology of death and the afterlife creates a remarkable mode for examining love and loss. McKetta uses language with an artistry that evokes sensory experience."—@ALA_Booklist on SHE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE OCEAN (coming 3/2) @ConsortiumBooks

@vitaminwater, this will be fun: 2019 I will spend learning lost arts in the 3D world, such as simple auto maintenance, teaching pet mice tricks, and doing weird science projects with my kids. #nophoneforayear #contest

@ClaireDederer CD: cheers on a powerhouse essay. The swerve toward female selfishness stopped me in my tracks. I am a writer/mother who had been feeling bad about my "monstrosity" earlier in the day. I hope many people read your piece and take its issues to heart.

Is there any scholarship about the role of Prince Charming in fairy tales? #fairytales #scholarship #research #storytelling #Education
