HWA Showcase XII-wow. Put a post-it on all the poems that particularly moved me-it's half the book! My poem snuck in, so can't review it objectively, but Stephanie W & co are amazing company! #newcollection #darkpoetry #honored

It was 20 years ago this week that Oprah Winfrey picked MIDWIVES for her Book Club -- one of the greatest professional blessings of my life. Thank you again, Oprah. Thank you for celebrating day-in and day-out what words and reading and books can mean to the soul. #Honored #Grateful

My battered library copy of Authority says, "Hello, Litsy!" #firstpost

This book was terrific. It was thrilling and suspenseful would also tackling some tough issues. I felt so bad for Cassie the whole time even when she kept screwing up. I could barely put it down!

@Sahar is so incredibly awesome and important with the issues she brings to the fore in her books! A very good friend who makes life seem distant pre-friendship. A truly remarkable woman whom you should definitely become familiar with 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. @BookBabe and I are lucky to call her a friend. #LitsyLovesLibraries
