Hobbes is real and this is genius at work.

It’s 1996 and I’m watching the original cast of Rent right before my first novel was published & when Roger sang One Song Glory, I remember thinking, this is my one chance, praying it would work and someone would read that first book. It’s 2026 & I’m watching the 30th anniversary livestream of Rent.

You Can See Everything is a storytelling and narrative masterpiece. The structure. The nuance. The filmmaking. All of it — from the very first shot. Take a bow nathanfielder and Lance Oppenheim — and @mingey too This one’s gonna live in my head for a long time. #youcanseeeverything

Shazbot, VisionQuest is SO MUCH FUN. We all knew Spader would be excellent, but they really built something worthy and full of humamity and depth. Paul Bettany carries us all. No spoilers, but I couldn’t be more excited by the painting in episode two. Mazel Tov. #visionquest

One way to honor Dolly Parton. Appreciate all of you have told me that you read I am Dolly Parton to your little one last night. RIP to the Queen of Kindness. #dollyparton

Writer. Philanthropist. Businesswoman. Kindest around. Her Imagination Library has gifted over 300 million books, and that number grows by 2 million every month! The first book she started with? The Little Engine that Could. She will forever amaze me. RIP Dolly Parton #dollyparton

Day 1 of the Tour of Monte Rosa nearly did me in. 12 miles. 34,000 steps. 4,800 feet up and 3750 down. I was fine on the up. The down was almost the end of me. Love you MB for making it happen. #hiking #hike #monterosa #italy #switzerland

Here’s my ballot for the top thrillers of the 21st century. As I told the New York Times, “Any list without Gone Girl in the #1 spot is a flawed list.” And it is #1. Full list at: NYTimes.com/50thrillers. Put your pick below. #books #thriller #bookstagram

Just loved it. And on the way to see it, a giant tree had fallen across our street, so we couldn’t go around it. Trapped! And then my son says the magic words, “C’mon, Spider-Man!” & my son and I are lifting these giant tree branches out of the way. With great power…! #spiderman

Direct quote from my son: “It must’ve been for $1,000.” Had no idea it aired last night until I suddenly started getting texts. Love you @jeopardy — and thanks @whoiskenjennings @chriseliopoulos and @penguinkids for building this. Special love to you, HK! #jeopardy #kidlit #books #bookstagram

Have still not recovered from all the beauty and emotion of Toy Story 5. There are moments where every person in the theater becomes the exact age they were when they saw the first movie, but the best parts are where we feel the isolation that is now hitting us all. LOVED it. #ToyStory5 #toystory
