UK Pub Day!

Plus Song Exploder, BINC, and The Magnetic Fields

Happy UK pub day to American Fantasy! She looks so good in green stripes.

And not for nothing, so do I!!

Speaking of Miss Piggy (pictured above), here is a long convo I had with an awesome guy all about how Miss Piggy’s Guide to Life (also pictured above) changed my life, and is the best book ever. It is.

Last night I got to emcee the BINC 30th Anniversary Gala, and I was not joking when I told the assembled crowd that I have been waiting my entire life to host a gala. I made jokes and I think people laughed?? I made a joke about being willing to commit espionage and/or murder for Ann Patchett, but you know what? It’s actually not a joke.

This week is also a big week for me as a fan! I got to go on my favorite podcast, Hrishikesh Hirway’s Song Exploder, to talk about The Magnetic Fields. You can listen here.

And! As if that wasn’t enough! We just announced that we are selling an EXCLUSIVE yellow vinyl edition of the Magnetic Fields’ record Love at the Bottom of the Sea, sold with a zine that we made of my tour diaries from 2012. If you liked my book tour diaries, you’ll love it! We’re having an event on 5/29! Come!

Also, you have one more day to sign up for my Blockhead Book Club! Don’t miss out!

It’s a busy week! You need a copy of American Fantasy heading into Memorial Day Weekend!
