what’s the word for when you’re excited to finally wear sweaters but also sad there will be no more rubies growing in the front yard....🤔

Dropped one of my recent favorite reads—Past Perfect Life by @elizabetheulberg —at the #littlefreelibrary outpost in my neighborhood!
.
BTW this is the 10th anniversary of Little Free Library, which fosters a global community of neighborhood “give a book, take a book” free book exchange libraries! I walk past this spot almost every day of the week, and watching books come and go gives me all the feels! 🥰

Happiest of happy birthdays to this total babe. I love you MM! ❤️❤️❤️

👀 The official #wearethewildcats cover reveal happens Wednesday afternoon!
.
📝 And there will be a sample chapter paired with it!
.
🤫 And because I’m the worst at keeping secrets, I’m gonna give you the teeeensiest tiiiiiiiiiiiniest peek behind the curtain until someone tells me to take it down. 😬😂

Xox,

Today I’ve got my game face on. Want to know why?
.
The online arc of We are the Wildcats is now avaIlable on Edelweiss. Physical arcs are at the printer. It’s all happening. The countdown to my official release date of March 31st, 2020 is on!
.
*deep breath*
.
Let me pause here and say that ✨I f u c k i n g love this book so much ✨ for so many reasons. The biggest is that, for way too many years, I accepted that depression was an unavoidable part of my creative process. Thanks to some big life changes I’ve made over the last year—both physical and mental—that’s no longer the case. And my reward for that not-always-super-pleasant journey is that every minute I spent working on Wildcats—the most complex and challenging story I’ve ever attempted to write—was a joyful one. 🥰 This book saved me. No lie. ❤️
.
Now. Though I’m incredibly excited for Wildcats to finallllllly be in the hands of readers, it’s also somewhat bittersweet. Why? 😬 Well, because—in classic Siobhan fashion—the version that’s being shared in the arc is *not* the final.
.
Let’s call it 95.5% final. 😉
.
Until my editor ( 👋🏻 @zareennycca ) pries my first pass pages out of my hands, I’m going to keep pushing myself to make it better. ✍🏻
.
The thing is...when it comes to writing, I’ve always loved the hustle. 💪🏻 And, for real, if you’re not motivated to go hard until the final buzzer, and take advantage of every second left on the clock, why bother playing at all? 😜

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
.
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
Well, you would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
.
(I cried while typing out these lyrics)
.
I love you @jennyhan ! Happy birthday to my best girl!

Agree. This is straight misogyny veiled as discourse. These men are attacking them in vile, sexualized, hateful way… https://t.co/uVo0HJci2Y
