@homebakedheidi Shut UP THAT'S SO CUTE

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@weretaire Ughghghghgh. We're also gonna try FF this year if possible, and everyone we talk to is all, "BUT!"

For realsies, if you want to support your local library, use it and donate if you can. Don't complain about it making life easier for literally everybody.

me at the funeral home: sorry, yes, thank you, it's been difficult, thank you, please excuse me I really have to take a picture of that glitter-encrusted urn over there because w o w? wow.

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@weretaire So like... You gonna link me so I can give it to MY teens? (Also maybe for me, but that's neither here nor there.)

Hey, @caffedarte your morning Sea/Tac team at N gate is amazing! I straight up dropped my fresh breakfast sammich on the floor and was prepared to eat it anyway like an animal. They insisted on replacing it for me. Much appreciated after a long night of flying. (And tasty, too!)

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@homebakedheidi Because they are literally a Premiere Storytelling Experience, and I love them.

Man, either it's been too long since I saw a spook movie, or Lights Out is really good.

(Does it help I can see glowing cat eyes in two corners of my room? No. No, it does not.)

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@weretaire I feel this deep in my bones.

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@Joanna_Shwaba @homebakedheidi Awesome! It's not my usual style of book contents (I tend towards fantastical), but it was extremely well done, everything about it. Congrats! Also, I could personally lead you to every single location in that book, and it's wild. 😂

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@Joanna_Shwaba @homebakedheidi I read it when it came out! My parents actually went to school with the author, haha! (Also because SOLDOTNA. Heidi tells me you worked on it!)

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@Joanna_Shwaba @homebakedheidi BEES ARE GENETICALLY DESIGNED TO RECOGNIZE ROYALTY!!! (yes, yes I am)

So I'm a youth services librarian in rural Alaska, and I found a patron who really felt some kinda way about @AdamSilvera and They Both Die At the End. (The book has been fixed and returned to the shelf for the next victim--uh, reader.)

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@homebakedheidi I have the original first draft, but honestly I've been thinking about rewriting it just for funsies. Because let's be real. We're there.

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@homebakedheidi I SURE FUCKING DID. happily never after, here we come. #dystasia

[Leslie Lynn @lessofalie]

@Mattwilljackson No, but I've had to stay past closing once or twice because there was a moose in the employee parking!
