TCR | 2014.12.01 | "In 1977, when I was in 8th grade, I won two tickets from a local radio station to see this new movie Star Wars, two weeks before it came out nationally. I loved it. But at school on Monday I couldn’t explain how everything was different now because nobody had seen it. They thought my Darth Vader impression was just asthma. Then the movie comes out and everybody’s saying it’s the greatest thing ever but I saw it first. I have been a Star Wars fan two we...

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around?

I’ve always loved this quote fromYou’ve Got Mail.We’re taught a very narrow set of parameters of what makes a happy, fulfilled life. Marriage, kids, money, property, job, friends. You have to go out on the weekends wi...

Sometimes you open a box and really amazing things are inside. (Preorder your copy of This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner today!) (There’s also a really pretty poster!)

Yes, there’s still time! You can either request to get it by Christmas if it’s gift, or you can choose to wait until January and have us sign it in person (rather than receiving the signed bookplates).
