Listening to old college mixtapes that I had converted into playlists. Lots of Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Cure, Kate Bush, OMD, and Roxy Music. Inspired after moderating the most Gen X panel Ever. @americanbookseller.bsky.social @minjinlee.bsky.social @colsonwhitehead.com #ABAWinterInstitute

Despite lagging MG sales, the #ABAWinterInstitute MG panel reported some encouraging areas of growth - including dragons, adventure stories, robots, and wilderness stories. (Yes, I quietly cheered about that last one, given my April MG release!)
Hand holding novel THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES by Kate Messner. The title font is yellow against a blue sky with puffy white clouds. The cover features a middle school boy with an orange backpack, standing on a mountaintop with a Burmese mountain dog gazing up at him. Behind the book is a narrow waterfall trickling down rocks into a pond with boulders and fallen leaves.
