Thank you! _James_is stunning. I don’t know if you’re on insta but The New Yorker posted a brief Reel with Parul

Seghal talking about her top three books this year so far. And _James_ is one of them. The way she talks about it is so compelling!

And yes love DiCamillo! She goes beyond genre categories in my mind ⭐️😍

Thank you for these! Heavy is not only a beautiful book, it connects others outside it's cover and builds community. Thank you for the new additions to my TBR (not that I needed any of those).
