I like the perspective that our libraries are our home books. The ones we grew up with. I vaguely remember reading a "big kid" book on my way to Florida with my family at 6 years old in 1988. I wish I knew what that book was now. But that led to lots of Sweet Valley High and later, Stephen King and now the incredible @joehill who's King Sorrow book came out today.

Thanks for all this wonderful information. I was wondering what your newsletter would be comprised of today as there are two comets passing by as well. I love learning from you. ❤️please keep helping to expand my mind! ✨️🤗📚 have a great rest of your week. ♥️

Thanks, Laura!

You should look at Joe Hill's Substack as he's on a book tour with King Sorrow and he lists the details. I know he'll be at World Fantasy Con in Brighton (where I'm going next week) for Saturday at least.

Yup! Definitely been looking at that the last few months and I always love reading what he posts! King Sorrow is good so far. Hard to put down. I unfortunately am too far away from his book tour at the moment. Hoping maybe he will extend it to Philly down the road as NYC isn't the most accessible for me at this time. ❤️ thanks!
