- Happy Halloween! This year our pumpkin was chicken approved and we were nostalgic for the time I made candy corn on the cob.
- Did you catch my conversation with @dekemoulton.bsky.social for thebookishstate? Deke is the author of the Nutmeg nominated book, “Don’t Want to be Your Monster” and I peppered her with kid questions about her book— so fun! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

- My friends we are 83% to our fundraising goal! Can you help us get to the finish line? If we get there, our $5K turns into $15k (thanks to corporate matching) and we won’t have to ask you for money again for a long time! Please support AAV @highlightsfound.bsky.social ! gofund.me/8a4a60441
- And that’s the 3rd #veryAsianbooktrip! Many thanks to all the bookstores that had us (please shop there)! Maybe we’ll see you next year?🤞🤞🤞
- The #veryasianbooktrip had a quick stop @possiblefuturesbooks before we ended. In honor of our AAV fundraiser for highlights (pls donate!) we asked (almost) every store to tell us about one of their favorite Asian American book. Lauren chose one of mine🥰. Such a sweet way to end the trip! 💜💜💜
- So the last day of #veryasianbooktrip was a Very Asian Disaster! Sadly, this might mean the end of our future #veryasianbooktrip 😢. Cross your fingers we can find the courage to continue🚗! But it was great fun and thank you to all the bookstores who had us!
- We are actually in the middle of a Very Asian Disaster but we filmed this before it happened…stay tuned! In the meantime, thank you @riverbendbookshop , @curiouscatbookshop , @oblongbooks and @thetreehousereading for having us yesterday.

- Today is the Double Seventh Festival or what I was taught (in the 80’s) to call “Chinese Valentine’s Day”! When I made this video a couple years back, saying the proper festival name hadn’t occurred to me😬. But I still think this is worth sharing because I think we all need to celebrate love. 💜

- To my great surprise, “Year of the Dog” hit the USA Today’s bestseller list at 130 a couple weeks back. This was my very first novel, published back in 2006(?). While it did receive a starred review, it didn’t do much else. It has never made any bestseller list…until now, almost 20 years later.

- Apologies if this is braggy (pls scroll by if it’s annoying) but “The Gate, the Girl and the Dragon” has made the Times AND the Indie list for 3 weeks in a row!🤩 This is longest any of my bks have been on the list! 1/3
- I made a little video using the photos I took from my Boston Chinatown trip! I may have gotten a little overzealous with the zoom feature but it was fun! I hope people are enjoying the book, if you are—please spread the word! I’d love for the book to reach as many readers as possible.💜🫶🙏
