I’m back from #filguadalajara2022.
Three official presentations, one off-FIL reading at #EleganteVagancia bookstore, many long days, just a little sleep. I’m exhausted and super happy.
Time to organize my new books (gracias #filguadalajara), and yes, I’d be 100% sure that between these and the ones I brought from #filnyc and #miamibookfair I have enough reads for 2023. Only: I know I’ll “need” more.
A lot of work ahead and 2022 is almost over. Luckily, devotion is the mother of Time.

One of the highlights of the #MiamiBookFair was getting my son’s copy of Refugee signed by one of his favorite authors

It was an honor and a delight to speak with Ada Calhoun today at the Miami Book Fair about ANCESTOR TROUBLE and her wonderful book ALSO A POET. So much gratitude to the Miami Book Fair and Books and Books for having us, and to friends who braved the rain. My hair did an almost '60s/'90s flip sort of thing because of the weather, which confirms that if I lived here my hair would be curly again.

Wonderful panel at the #miamibookfair with Mecca Jamilah Sullivan and Jenny Tinghui Zhang in spite of the rain.

Xochitl Gonzalez (OLGA DIES DREAMING) and Kimberly Garza (THE LAST KARANKAWAS) discussed reluctant moms, writing as "colonized cousins," underrecognized climate aspects of their fiction, and much more.

Gonzalez compared Puerto Rico and the U.S. to a woman who's in a shitty relationship with a man who takes her paychecks and uses her for her beachfront property, and if you like that metaphor you should definitely read her book.

Will be at the #miamibookfair this weekend, in conversation with Mecca Jamilah Sullivan (Big Girl) and Jenny Tinghui Zhang (Four Treasures of the Sky)on Sunday at 4:30.

All book fair events are free and there’s a mind boggling number of them. And Miami is warmer then #losangeles right now (I don’t like cold weather).

Hanging in Miami for the weekend for #MiamiBookFair. We have already planned out the session we want to see. @jaymeb and I are pro nerds now.

Has anyone been to the #miamibookfair ? Just wondering what it’s like. #writers #booklovers
