Book Reviews
With the holiday shopping season right around the corner (if not already here!), I think book reviews are so important this time of year. If you’ve read my latest book, The Escape Manual for Introverts, I would love so much if you could share an honest review of it online (on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or GoodReads). More reviews will help the book’s ranking and in turn help it appear in front of more potential readers like you. 💜
New Book Deal Announcement! 🌱
A couple posts ago I mentioned to you that I had just finished up a new book and was waiting for some paperwork to go through on the book deal. I'm excited to announce that it's officially a real thing and my new book, called MY LIFE IN PLANTS, is going to be published next September! This will be my fourth book with Andrews McMeel Publishing and I'm feeling very lucky to get to continue working with a publisher that feels like a true home for my work!
MY LIFE IN PLANTS is an illustrated memoir told through the flowers and plants that bore witness to my journey to adulthood. From stumpy potted houseplants, to pretty flower arrangements on important occasions, to outdoor shrubs and gardens surrounding the homes I’ve lived in, flowers and plants have always been in the background of my life. In MY LIFE IN PLANTS, I tell the story of my life through thirty-nine plants that have played both leading and supporting roles, from my childhood to my wedding day, from a homegrown wildflower bouquet wrapped in duct tape that I carried on stage at age three, to a fragrant, potted basil plant that brought not only my kitchen but also myself back to life after grief. These are stories about the simplicity of home, the sharpness of loss, the lesson of learning to be present in the moment, and the journey of finding one’s own way in life.
This book is SO different from anything I've done before, which is making me feel super excited to share it with you, but also very vulnerable! It’s truly my most favorite thing I’ve worked on to date. I'm really looking forward to sharing much more about it over the coming months!💚🌱
Pre-Order The Escape Manual for Introverts
I have something exciting to share! 🎉My third book, THE ESCAPE MANUAL FOR INTROVERTS, is coming August 6th from Andrews McMeel Publishing and you can pre-order it now!
A blend of humor and inspiration, THE ESCAPE MANUAL FOR INTROVERTS is a funny, sometimes absurd guide to escaping the painfully awkward situations of everyday life as an introvert. The book guides readers through a range of social scenarios that introverts dread, such as being trapped on an airplane with a chatterbox or hosting a dinner party with people who just won’t leave, and offers escapes and tips for each situation. From the silly to the sincere, these clever, hilarious escape plans and bizarre excuses speak to the introvert in all of us.
I'm really excited about this book because being an introvert is something that I think really defines me and has my whole life. I enjoyed so much getting to create a funny book about my interpretation of the introvert experience. 😃
