From #thepowerofparting, why #abuse #survivors should consider taking #mothersday off. Or quitting this awful job altogether

★ Chloe Benjamin blends speculative fiction and romance in this sui generis story of an erstwhile couple who discover a parallel universe. This captivates. @PutnamBooks buff.ly/hdigwqw

I’m captivated by lyrical, rhyming picture books for their lovely, lively read-aloud quality. The LouAnn books by @carriefinison.bsky.social and #briannefarley are some of my favorites. Plenty of Pancakes is as deliciously delightful as Dozens of Doughnuts. #nationalpoetrymonth #poetry #putnambooks

I fervently hope you’ll read every sentence in #thepowerofparting (& thanks so much to those who have!), but I feel obliged to highlight what I consider its most important sentence

#Booksky If you are on #NetGalley, the latest book in the Pickett series, The Crossroads by C.J. Box, is now listed. From #PutnamBooks. Feb 2026. I put in my request this morning and await judgement.

If you were wondering why this week feels … different from all other weeks, maybe it’s because @theweekmag has just named me #authoroftheweek. Or maybe that’s not the reason at all. In any case, I’m quite happy about it!
