There's something about a stack of hermetically sealed library books that triggers intense nostalgia.
Weekend homework was to read 1st chapter of these mostly #middlegradereads. Tough job putting them down at that time point but enabled some brilliant #booktalk today at #checkout #buildyourstack #librarylife

This COVER. It's like liquid magic. 👀 I hear the innards are similarly fantastic.
Happy Friday surprise--the cover for THE KEY OF LOST THINGS is out in the world! It's absolutely gorgeous, and further example that @peturantonsson is pretty much the greatest MG cover artist in the world. AND the book is up for preorder! 😮😬😱 #pitchwars amazon.com/dp/1534437878/

Happy book birthday to THE UNSPEAKABLE UNKNOWN by @Hey_buster! It's the wild, warm-hearted, and hilarious sci-fi sequel to A PROBLEMATIC PARADOX (now available in paperback!) and reads like a middle grade THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. @jgetzler @penguinkids @PenguinClass

I personally recommend this one. :)
A PROBLEMATIC PARADOX is on the 2019 LITA Excellence in Science Fiction Notable List! (And the paperback goes on-sale today!) If you're looking for a middle grade THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, this is it. Congrats to @Hey_buster @jgetzler @penguinkids @PenguinClass!

This is my favorite review of "The Unspeakable Unknown" so far: nextgen.yourhub.com/2018/12/…

:D
Did you read Problematic Paradox yet? I was pleasantly surprised as science fiction is not usually my favorite genre! It definitely made me laugh out loud! @Hey_buster @kmcmac74 #mglit #scifi

For some MG kids, Thanksgiving is lonely. Give those kids exciting books that will take them somewhere else for a while. #MGLit #NerdyBookClub #MGbookvillage #kidlit @AuthorEasley @bradmcbooks @dianemagras @kaliphyte

Thread. 100%
Saw a comment about me from someone who hasn't read my work bemoaning "non-STEM people" writing scifi. I get this assumption a lot, and usually delight in casually saying that in fact I studied theoretical astrophysics, and what did THEY study? But I feel differently today...
