REPORT #61: May Report
PLUS! A giveaway from my publisher that you need to know about.
Hi guys. Happy Pride, Knicks in 5.
May was the first month in over a year that I wasn‘t drafting, editing, or actively crying over my book. Which means it was also the first month I remembered how to be a person. I took my mom to Scotland, read other people’s books for fun instead of for research, and ate a full meal without mentally rewriting a paragraph. It was extremely weird and extremely necessary.
The book itself is now at the part of the process where it’s officially out of my hands. Advanced copies are going out to early readers, which means strangers are reading my most embarrassing dating stories before any of you. Deeply specific kind of panic. My publisher also just launched a Goodreads Giveaway, so if you want a free advanced copy before September, the link is below.
Anyway. Here’s my report for May.
READING:
Yesteryear: A clever, nostalgic time-travel novel that will make you grateful social media didn’t exist in high school.
Famesick: If you’ve ever wondered whether success actually fixes anything, Lena Dunham’s answer is a fascinating, messy, and surprisingly vulnerable no.
Count My Lies: The kind of twisty psychological thriller that makes you cancel plans because you need to know what happens next.
Phoebe Berman’s Gonna Lose It: Equal parts hilarious and unhinged, with a heroine you’ll root for even as she’s actively spiraling.
Also! My publisher just launched a Goodreads Giveaway, where you can win an *advanced copy* of Let’s F*cking Date. Entering takes approximately 7 seconds. Less time than you've spent overthinking his last text. Add the book to your Goodreads shelf and enter to win. Good luck!
