A million books is an amazing number. That being said, It is a shame that there isn't a metric that counts how many times someone has passed your book on to someone they love, declaring "you HAVE to read this. You'll love it." That number would be awfully high too, I think.

This is fantastic news about ONE MILLION BOOKS you’ve sold, Emma !! I was in Magic City books in Tulsa, where I was lucky to see you appear in May, and picked up Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures, so make that a million and one !!

I can only imagine how it must have been to get through Thanksgiving without your dad. Big hugs for that. Love your assigning Mom horticultural duties in his reading garden.

Thanks for the joy and wit you bring to us every day. I am thankful to have “discovered “ you this year.

Congratulations...that is HUGE! I love your books and I enjoy your heartfelt, all-in newsletters. I really appreciated your interviews during the quarantine, and I hope to visit your stores in the next few months.

Congratulations!! Also pioneer woman is a freaking boss when it comes to food. Soo good. So comforting. Usually pretty easy. I actually have enjoyed reading her autobiography and book of personal essays. I don’t always agree but I like reading her point of view and the life experiences she’s had. Especially when I remember she homeschooled four children. Alone. On a ranch. Voluntarily. 😳. Also Taylor swift. Sigh. There are not enough words to describe my love of her. One of my friends asked if I think she’s the younger generation’s Tori Amos. I wouldn’t go that far. But she is pretty freaking awesome. Lastly, your tributes to your dad are beautiful. My father died 17 years ago. We had a very difficult relationship but I miss him and love him, especially for who he might have become had he had more time.
