Been holding on to this very good news for a while now. But today I can finally announce that my first picture book, Lost & Found Hanukkah, will arrive in 2025 from
@ChronicleBooks illustrated by the fabulous @LisaAnchin !

@JaneEspenson My favorite . Rewatch already done. It’s such a perfect episode! Thank you.

@johnnie_cakes Siblings. But all my tired brain cares about is that it’s a Lacey Christmas movie set in Scotland and in a perfect world, she’d pass thru the stones and find Jamie Fraser.

@Jan_Coco_Day Jan Coco Day!! Onward to new adventures!

@karianneholt I mean okay, but there is still no true point to that kind of review. Like am I going to review Shakespeare and say “this was written in 1595 and it shows!” ? Better to say it was an early book. Or just read and enjoy.

@MagEGordon Crust Pizza is family friendly. Various locations including one in The Heights. And they cut the pizza in smaller squares like Chicago thin crust, so pieces are kid friendly too.

Texas was the first state to ban my books, and the last time I was here people prayed at me. Anyways I’m back! Speaking at Brazos Bookstore tonight. I don’t think the praying worked 😇 come see me! We can pray my way 🌈🤠

@ElanaKArnold And like aren’t most weddings ‘custom made’ in at least some ways? So people! Enough with this ‘bespoke’ stuff!!

[Joy Preble @joypreble]

Did the word ‘bespoke’ suddenly become trendy while I wasn’t looking? Because suddenly I see it used everywhere.

[Joy Preble @joypreble]

@ElanaKArnold It’s so grossly pretentious

[Joy Preble @joypreble]

@ElanaKArnold It seems to get used when you could just say ‘custom-made’ like for a man’s dress shirt or whatever. But I don’t get where the ‘bespoke’ trend came from.

So happy it’s finally raining and raining, but dog has dug in her puppy heels about going out, and is doing her Bartley Scrivner. “I prefer not”

[Joy Preble @joypreble]

@buffalosean I think that’s it exactly- that some readers interpret interiority as ‘quiet’ ( however one defines that) but often this ignores the engines of the story and how they function.

[Joy Preble @joypreble]

In which I discuss how I wish people would stop describing books as ‘quiet.’ https://t.co/2oHtS0L4p7
