I don’t know who needs to see it but here are some pictures of Chris Pine walking out of an indie bookstore with a GIANT bag of books while also wearing a mask.

Happy pub day to @theljsharks! Her debut novel, Inconvenient Daughter, is the subject of June’s #splitcitytoasts.

Sharkey examines tough topics like abandonment and transracial adoption, but keeps us smiling with dad wisdoms and diner food. Check it out!

Y’all love to message people and say: “oh, I hated that book. It was boring and I couldn’t get into it!”

Like, shut up and sit down. The only books you read are The Help and American Dirt

MARY TOFT was one of Melanie’s fav books of 2019, too! Such a weird premise that examines faith versus reason, group think, and how comforting it is to believe in a miracle—even when all evidence indicates it can’t be real.

We have a new Split City Asks—with our very own @Stintzi! They’re a Kansas City-based writer, Grendel’s zaza, and the design ghost behind our super cute website. (They do this for free. We owe them so many beers.)

HERE IT IS ✨ I was asked to write about 7 books for @RealSimple that people should read to learn more about race. I wrote about 15 😬 Some classics; some newer titles. All deserving to be read. I should know: I picked them! 💕 https://t.co/fsihJOlPFV

What the actual fuck

[Jesmyn Ward @jesmimi]

Even after Salvage the Bones won the NBA, my publishing company did not want to give me 100k for my next novel. My agent and I fought and fought before we wrestled our way to that number.

As if we needed another reason to love @splitlippress and @suburbanprairie, I mean COME ON.
