    This is your advanced notice that the wifey & I have purchased & plan to wear floor length sweat shirt dress/tunics for our Thanksgiving break. I’ve never been so excited about matching loungewear. Can you imagine being straight? Not I.

    Yay! has been booklooked by ❣️ Gorgeous badass Asian woman overload! She captured so much of the mood here, too. If you haven’t read it, Jenny’s memoir is among my favorite adoptee works. She’s somehow as talented as she is beautiful. 🥰

    Asian woman looking off to the side. Her brown hair is down and she has black eyeshadow with glitters on top. The eyeliner is running as tho she has been crying
    Book cover features an Asian person with their hands over their mouth. It is a close up on their face. Fireworks are superimposed on top.
    Today a shout out to ’s new Everyone Was Falling 💛. For how about buying -authored books?

    BOOK NEWS: My book about queer kids in Kentucky is going to be published!! This story means everything to me, and the love and enthusiasm Nikki & the LBYR team have shown for it has made me happy-cry so many times already 😭 I'm so excited for it to find its readers! 🌳🌈🎉

    screenshot from Children's Bookshelf announcement placed over aerial shot of a forest. Text: Nikki Garcia at Little, Brown has bought, at auction, world English rights to The Best Liars in Riverview, as well as an untitled novel, by Lambda Literary Fellow and debut author Lin Thompson. The middle grade novel stars 12-year-old Aubrey, who has been quietly questioning their gender identity, and their search for their missing best friend in the woods that used to be the kids' personal sanctuary. Publication is set for winter 2022; Beth Phelan at Gallt & Zacker brokered the deal.

    To be fair, Angel was the right boyfriend for Buffy coming into her power. Spike was the right man to be with as she became the power.

    Y'all we have lived thru a trauma. 2020 has tested all of us. So many lives lost during this pandemic. Children are without their parents. Black lives have been taken. Maybe we can finally start to heal and start this work. I know I'm ready.
