I read this and then walked a few blocks to where my fav used bookstore - The Book Deal - is moving (in Madison, WI). I am helping alphabetize the books before it opens next week. And I come across one of your dad's books (I took a picture) - Houses Without Doors!! https://thebookdeal.com/about/

Thank you for this Newsletter; it touches on everything human and is pure delight.

Emma I’ve loved your books and now I’m waiting for your letters to arrive!! So funny and kind and smart - just what our broken world needs 🩵 thank you! ps I call them letters because finding real one in our mailbox has become an event!

Sorry to ask this - what is A*#$on P$#@e Day?

Emma, I know you didn't write it out like that for this reason, but I actually have a filter on my Gmail to send all emails that contain the phrase "P$#@e Day" directly to the trash (publicists send an astonishing amount of email about this day and Black Friday). Delighted that yours wasn't sent there too.

Intrigued by the mask but haven’t quite figured out how falling asleep to audio book would work if you can’t easily remember at what point you fell asleep!
