Can't wait to get my hands on that book with Elissa! Also, recently listened to your interview in the How to Write Funny podcast and found some of your tips really helpful, like the list of 10s and going from the broad to the specific, and the long lists to get past the shitty ideas and get to the good parts. I hope you enjoy your break! Here are my viewing recommendations: John Mulaney's Everybody's in L.A., The Roast of Tom Brady. Reading: https://waitbutwhy.com/

Thanks for the book recommendations, I adore Matt Haig novels but alas have read them all, the fiction you listed reminds me of his stories. All holds placed at the library so living in sweet anticipation :-)

Congrats on this exciting time in your life! I can't wait to read your new book with Elissa, how cool! Wrong Place Wrong Time and The Paper Palace are both good page-turners. And Interesting Facts About Space is very witty and clever too. <3

Congrats on taking leave (and on your book with Elissa, which I can't wait to read). Some reading recs: Beautyland by Marie Helene Bertino for unexpected and wonderful; Wellness by Nathan Hill for satire; Monsters by Claire Dederer for makes-you-think nonfiction.
