Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

If only any news outlets had reported this BEFORE the election!

#TheWildRobot delivers a heartwarming story about the challenges and rewards of parenthood, the fears and discoveries we make along the way, and the magic of a found family. Great for all ages and surprisingly funny. #LupitaNyongo #PedroPascal #KitConnor #ShephanieHsu #MattBerry #MarkHamill
