Hi! My heart has been feeling full because last week I got to do an incredibly fun panel at the Novel Neighbor with romance authors Gabriella Gamez, Nisha J. Tuli, and Ana Holguin (who are so much fun to eat cheese puffs with!). I didn't think I could love this bookstore more and yet somehow I do? The booksellers at the Novel Neighbor are so warm and welcoming and hilarious, and we got to hang out with amazing readers at Procure at the Foundry (much love to my fellow whiteboarders and plotters out there). 🫶🏼

This week, I did another read-through of my next book (!!!!), which I can’t wait to share more about in the coming months. Also, film from Taiwan came back, so I’m sharing some pics below. If you’re interested in shooting film at night, I’ve got a great 35mm rec.

There’s also a sale going on at Bookshop.org, which ends in just a few days. You can get 20% off Yin Yang Love Song—use the code AAPI25 at checkout. ✨️💚

And now for the bites…

I put a lot of love and time into my posts. Your support makes a huge difference, so BIG thanks. If you want all the bites, bookish behind-the-scenes, book recs + all the author interviews where we talk about writing + romanticizing, maybe you’ll consider going paid? 🫶🏻
