And yall… SO many beautiful books and jigsaw puzzles. Love Flame Tree’s new hardback covers.

It was wonderful to get to visit my publisher’s @flametreepress office in London while I was there and meet the Flame Tree team in person. Here with Olivia and my latest, A Rebel’s History of Mars (sequel out in two months!) #author #publishing #books

Psst! The sequel to A Rebel’s History of Mars is available on Net Galley. If you like space pirates, anti-authoritarian uprisings and found family narratives, you’ll love A Fugitive’s History of the Known Universe!

Our bestest boi, Dunkin, goes into surgery this morning for an ACL tear. Doing my best not to be an emotional mess. He’s old but healthy, and we hope this short-term challenge leads to better quality of life for his elder years.

The discourse around many people using travel as a means of escaping community - setting roots in a place and committing to those around you - is brutal and also true.

I love to travel, but the younger version of me was definitely using it as an unhealthy form of escape.

The joy of encountering your books in the wild, whether in a store or the library, never gets old.

[Nadia Afifi @Nadoodles]

Being an author is especially surreal these days.

“Hi! The world is burning and being eaten alive by late stage capitalism, but can I interest you in my book, available where books are sold?”

#author #books #writinglife

[Nadia Afifi @Nadoodles]

Heart-breaking, and obscene, that people live like this so that the capitalist class can continue hoarding wealth. So much suffering, every day. Housing is a human right, not something you should lose thanks to a medical crisis or missed paycheck. #taxtherich

A homeless man has captured the attention of thousands, not for begging, but for the way he rocks his dog to sleep every night. When asked why, he explained that life hadn’t always been this way. “When I first got him, we had an apartment,” he said softly. “Living on the street has been a hard adjustment for him. The honking, the sirens, the people, it keeps him up. So every night, I make sure he’s asleep before I close my eyes.” #dog #wholesome #dogs #doglover

[Nadia Afifi @Nadoodles]

Only a week to go until A Rebel’s History of Mars hits the shelves! What better time to reveal some personal backstory behind the book? 🧵

[Nadia Afifi @Nadoodles]

I’m a huge history buff, which drove the theme and the “what if” at the heart of the novel… what if you could see a true, unvarnished version of the past and see how it’s shaped your varnished present?
