Cover of She Isn't Herself Tonight by Hailey Piper, art by Caroline Johnson, depicting a woman caught between neon lights, her face fracturing into reflections of itself. Beneath the title is a quote from Rachel Harrison calling the novel "Blissfully twisted and genuinely heartfelt."

Cover reveal day!

I'm thrilled to announce my new novel coming from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social, SHE ISN'T HERSELF TONIGHT

Alien abductions, a break-up from hell, and what we become when our worst enemies are ourselves.

Light your skies, October 27th 🛸

A book cover with the title “Children of Owl” and a girl looking up at a mountain with an owl boy prominent in the background.

CHILDREN OF OWL HAS A COVER!!!! With art by Abigail Rajunov, who also illustrated 25 pages of comics in the book. It was an honor to work with her; I couldn’t be happier!! 🥹💕

I love Statler 🥹

12 Must-Read Books of March 2026 - Chicago Review of Books Here are the 12 books you need to read in March 2026.

"Few authors understand the art of thrills like Daniel Kraus, and in Partially Devoured his knowledge is on full display. . . Partially Devoured is filled with grief, love, and fascination throughout every frame and word." — @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social

A hardcover of Daniel Kraus’s PARTIALLY DEVOURED sits on a grey furry blanket between a skeleton hand, black jeaned-leg and my arm so I can show off a little of my octopus tattoo. I hold a black mug of coffee in my hand. The photo is edited to be dark and moody.

The #bookmail I just got from @catapultbooks.bsky.social 💀

PARTIALLY DEVOURED by @danielkraus.com comes out on the 10th!

It is irreversible 😭😭 luckily I am at the very end of my tax preparation but I was not ready.

I clicked a button on my Quickbooks and now it is powered by AI and I had a meltdown bc, of course, you can’t undo it 🫠

Kaz the black Bombay cat sitting on the corner of the gray headboard against a white wall, up-lit by a lamp. He is begging for attention because I am playing with Ari and not him.

I haven’t posted Kaz in a few days, I’m sorry! He was looking incredibly cute last night 🥹

nothing says "a fun place to shop" like waiting for someone to unlock the shampoo for you while you hope ICE agents don't come down that aisle

I really love the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. If you have the time!

He’s doing all the work too 🤩

A white and grey but also looking brown in the lighting lynx point Siamese turning his head to look back at camera. He is backlit by a window.

Ari says hey.

Great way to start the day!

This is what they've done.

Cannot wait to bring my copy home today!! #BookSky

A photograph of a white person’s hand holding the corner of THE CARTOONISTS CLUB graphic novel (uncorrected proof & not for sale) by Raina Telgemeier & Scott McCloud on a grey furry blanket. The cover features a lavender-ish to light blue gradient and four middle schoolers: Art (they/them), Makayla (she/her), Howard (he/him), and Lynda (she/her). There is also a mug of coffee to the right and a white skeleton hand to the left because why not??

I finally read this delightfully funny and informative middle grade graphic novel by Reina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud (ARC from work). I made my own comics when I was a kid and was terrible at it 😂

I take comfort in DNFs bc that means it will be the right book for someone else

Query critique for a cause! See this thread for info:

I should do book promo—
*ICE murder several blocks from me*
*sheltering in place bc of racial profiling*
*mutual aid*
*mutual aid*

Ok real talk — I don’t find Stardew cozy 😅 there’s too much to do and fishing stresses me out.

Honestly yeah, I think it would be excellent especially if you are an audiobook reader. I don’t do well with fantasy in audio on first reads 😅

Tbh I wish I'd done that. My notes from my audiobook read are kind of a mess. I have to go back and mark it up!

I read seven books this way, and still retained all of it. My brain is happy.

For anyone wondering, yes the audiobooks of the Green Bone Saga are perfect for rereads. The narrator is fantastic. This is my third reread of the series. One of my all-time faves!

Really loved Bingo Love, too! I've been meaning to get to Vanessa Lillie's next book in the series, so thank you for the reminder.

Stratton Jade War by Fonda Lee A Wild Radiance by Maria Ingrande Mora Tombs by Junji Ito You Started It by Jackie Khalilieh The Fire This Time edited by Jasmyn Ward Notes on Infinity by Austin Taylor The Murder at World's End by Ross Montgomery The Fall of Iris Henley by Jennifer Graham

Somehow I read 17 books in Feb, proving that it was, in fact, the longest month ever--my usual number is 8 or 9. Joking aside, I read a few audiobooks while playing Stardew Valley and this is now my favorite form of procrastination. #BookSky

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Exactly. Anyone crying “distraction” isn’t paying attention.

👏🏼 The Palestine Laboratory 👏🏼 I’m still thinking about that one.
