The best part of working at Goodreads was working on the April Fools' Day joke! This was last year's- a literary gossip magazine - and it still makes me laugh! http://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/632-announcing-the-new-goodreads-literary-mag...
It was a total thrill to talk about #thewangsvstheworld on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night—he is an incredibly generous host and makes it all feel so easy and fun!

The lovely Jan at #BookPeople in Austin with a basketful of freshly signed books!
Wandering around Dallas today before my event at B&N here tonight for #thewangsvstheworld - so glad I got to visit Wild Detectives, a bookstore/cafe/bar named after the Roberto Bolano novel! Felt like an oasis on a dark day. Picked up a paperback of The Sellout and can't wait to finish reading it.
So glad to be on the shelf at @Powells in Portland! But being here also makes me feel like no one ever needs to write another book, ever. How are there so many words in so many different configurations in the world?? #getindie
And special thanks to #ElliotBayBooks bookseller extraordinaire Mary, who helped set up the #wangsvstheworld reading! She recommends Over Pour, a new book of poetry by Jane Wong! #getindie
Thanks so much to the amazing #ElliotBayBooks in Seattle for hosting #thewangsvstheworld last week! Best reading backdrop! #getindie
Love #LeftBankBooks in Seattle, even though they don't carry #wangsvstheworld. (Guys, the Wangs are total revolutionaries, too!) But I did spot the fantastic Shrill by Lindy West front and center! #getindie
Here's a great and unexpected thing about being on book tour - when you do an event at a bookstore, sometimes they offer you a free book to take home! My choice for tonight? I am Lucy barton by Elizabeth Strout!
Did the #wangsvstheworld SF launch at Books Inc at Opera Plaza tonight, and met these two excellent and enthusiastic booksellers with their current fave reads: Barbarian Days and Grief is the Thing With Feathers!
