This week, I got two very very cool packages.
I expected neither of them. Those are the best kind of cool packages, I reckon.
First it was a package from Brazil.
That's Ask the Passengers in Portuguese. And it's one awesome looking book. Also: that's me right after I wake up. |
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS BOOK IS. It's Reality Boy in Korean. It's a stunning cover--so hard to tell even from this image. |
Yes. I am wearing that hat every day while I revise the 2016 book. I wore a lab coat all last year when I revised I CRAWL THROUGH it. I am 100% comfortable with admitting this to you. I don't care if you think I'm weird.
✭ Review News
I can't share it yet, but Booklist gave I CRAWL THROUGH IT a really lovely review with a shiny star attached! That's three for this novel and I'm just thrilled with three. It's a magic number.
Best line ever
Tonight I was at Aaron's Books, my local Independent bookstore, celebrating their 10th anniversary and they asked me to sign books and set me up at a table and this was where I heard the best thing so far in my career.
"Are you, like, manning an A.S. King book table?"
Someone was behind me. I can't remember if it was Todd, but I think it was. He said, "That is A.S. King."
I smiled. She took two steps backward to stop and take it all in and then say hello.
Some days are just surreal, y'all.
I wrote a blog post over at Hippodilly Circus
You should check it out. It's about listening and how it can help us all treat each other better. After that, you should read the rest of the blog because it's awesome.
That's all I got.
Back to the cave in my hat.
