So we're hosting a virtual event to support those who could not get tickets and to support our beloved local independent bookstores. All the proceeds from this virtual event are going to these local bookstores. They show up for us. We're showing up for them. May 6th.
If you pre-ordered the book from an independent bookstore, you don't have to buy it again to come to the event. Please register for the event by uploading your indie order at treatmedia.com. And just click the option that says, I've already pre-ordered from another indie. Okay, we'll see you there. Yay! We did it! We did it! Yay! How are you? It is such a treat to meet you. Good.

Nice to meet you all.
This is really an honor to be with you. Look at that cute book you've got on your shelf there.
I mean, it's so cute.
Also, I was looking at it this morning and it's all like banged up, which I feel like is my only the books that I've really like grip brought into the bathtub with me carried in my purse. That's what this book has been. It's been on many journeys.
So glad you've brought that book into the bathroom. Yeah. Deeply honored. That's the first feedback to that degree that I've gotten.
