Thank you πŸ™πŸ» last year I was very proud of having read 115 books and I think many of those were from authors on Substack/recommendations from writers and authors on Substack. πŸ˜… look forward to your next book and reading more of your backlist! 🫢🏻🀩

Yay!! The Incredible Kindness of Paper was one of my top reads of 2025 andI can't wait to have Ideal Life in my hands! I own an indie bookstore and I'm anxiously awaiting DRC availability 🫢🏼

ahhhh thank you, Priscilla, both for reading my books AND for being an indie bookseller? What's the name of your store and where is it located?

I heard that digital galleys are available now (I assume on NetGalley)!

Found it! I'd been checking NetGalley often and it must have popped up soon after I commented. ☺️ I'm all set!

My indie bookstore store is West Side Stories, which is also a bakeshop and coffeehouse. πŸ“šπŸ§β˜•οΈ We're located about half an hour from Dulles Airport in the Washington, DC, metro area.

If you're ever out this way . . . 🀞🏼

A bookstore/bakeshop/coffeeshop sounds like heaven! I'm glad you got a DRC on Netgalley. Enjoy!

Love the book cover and the colors! And the clock inside is a nice addition. I love the premise! Are you going to have another book party online? Last years for Incredible Kindness of Paper was

fun! No pressure! I know you have alot going on.

I am thinking about it! I'm glad you enjoyed it because that makes me more likely to do it, lol. But I'll have to brainstorm because there isn't an obvious activity this time, like origami making for The Incredible Kindness of Paper...
