  1. @deadwhiteguys Aw... it seems you've stumbled across perhaps the only downside to working in a bookshop.
  2. @deadwhiteguys I have no idea where you are but run!
  3. @msemilymccombs No, actually. I don't. :(
  4. In case there was any doubt I'm a nerd: I was feeling stressed about the # of great books to be read. So I made a to-do list of my top ones.
  5. The "no-cook summer porridge" I just ate should really be called "no-cook all seasons choc. pudding of deliciousness." bit.ly/IqI8mp
  6. @eastsidebride Don't do it. Think of all the sweat stains.
  7. @sarahw I only just started reading it, but it's a great idea for a collection, and I like that it covers so many different perspectives.
  8. @felsull Awesome! I just started it. I've only read the first essay by Henry Alford. But now I can't wait to get to yours!
  9. My #fridayreads "Money Changes Everything: 22 Writers Tackle the Last Taboo" goes out to @sarahw & her intersection btwn writers & $$ tweet!
  10. @eleanorwrites I don't know that that's a card I'd give anyone on any day.
  11. @MarinkaNYC Or better yet just record and watch later w/o the "commercials."
  12. @mariskreizman It's like no matter how hard we try everything comes back to the Brooklyn Jonathans.
  13. Whoa. Note to self, googling images of cysts is a bad idea.
  14. @GraywolfPress If someone has a car (or a Zipcar membership), there's always Costco in Queens. Their cakes are surprisingly not bad.
  15. ATTN @TanaFrench fans aka everyone I know on Twitter: MT @JulieBritt: @TanaFrench fans out there? She has a new 1 this summer (via @LitChat)
  16. @JustBethanne Nope, I don't believe she has. But I do believe that being Helen Mirren's ghostwriter is my dream job.
  17. @kaytsukel @JustBethanne I love the instantaneous replies that Ms. Mirren generates. Awesome.
  18. @GraywolfPress @mcnallyjackson It sounds like you need a couple of boxes of Duncan Hines and a big cake pan. Or a suburban grocery store.
  19. So many reasons I wish I was Helen Mirren. Including that she has a plant named after her & made this face 4 the press: wilderquarterly.com/2012/05/in-pic…
  20. @GraywolfPress @mcnallyjackson Try the fantastic Dominique Ansel Bakery on Spring! Awesome cake.
