sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand
About

This is our new favorite blog ever.

ALSO! Author-friend/fiancée CKHB has published a short short in Boston Literary Magazine! Woooo CKHB!!!!

Also! Beloved interview alumnus/coolest YA author in universe Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich is reading TOMORROW at the Brooklyn Central Library as part of NYC Teen Author Fest, along with about a million other totally fabulous people, so you should probably go. She's also signing books in Manhattan Friday and Saturday, also with some other totally fabulous people, including the brilliant Neesha Meminger (whose Shine, Coconut Moon is currently in the vast pile of to-be-read books threatening to collapse our apartment). If you don't live here THEY MAKE THESE CRAZY THINGS CALLED AIRPLANES.

Aw, thanks for the plug! I'm really very happy with it.

(For those of you who don't already know me, when you click the Boston Lit Mag link, you can tell which author I am because of the initials. "CKHB" was never a terribly clever screen name.)

No! No! I am thrashing in pleasure over the ampersand site! God THAT'S LOVELY. That's made my day so it has.

Congrats, CKHB!

And the ampersand blog proves my point that you CAN do the same thing over and over again, as long as it's different every time.

Wrap your head around that one.

Congrats, CKHB!

And I'll come to the reading. If, you know, you pay for the ticket. Since you're raking in that big literary assistant money.

And did you go to the Elif Batuman reading? Was it good? Because now, thanks to you, I. must. read. that. book.

Dear Neesha, we have MANY fiance/es, if you are not careful you will end up on the list also, based solely on your killer blog.

Dear Ink, yes, we went, Elif was even more awesome than we thought, we will tell everyone about it next week when we are not so SLEEPY.

Oh Le R, you and I both know that my "author-acquaintances" is the New Coke to your Classic "author-friends."

And I totally don't get to wear metal shirts to work. I am wearing a tie right now. I am visibly upset.
