THAT Stan Lee pic! 🤩 I also loved the many Mabels, and this mass-of-Mabels moment!

I am so, so behind on my reading (😨), but this is the kick in the pants I need to set up another book haul!

Good luck at the Ohioana Festival, and thanks for this fun "behind the book" look!

Maybe Snickers saves up all her barks for my calls so that she cements herself in all your psyches and then into your work. I’m bound to have a treasure trove of Snickers outtakes soon enough. Also … Mabel 😍

I loved everything in this post. What a great love letter to the things we love even when people don't get them. (And oh my gosh, that video of your son and the picture of you with Stan Lee? Treasures!)
