Can't wait for the party! If I may, I have a piece of advice for the summer tour wardrobe. This skirt (which is on sale currently) from Roucha is amazing for traveling (doesn't need to be ironed) looks perfect with flats, sneaks, flip flops, heels- everything and takes up no space. I'm wearing it all summer with a t shirt, bandana around my neck and docksides. I don't know if you are a skirt type of person but can't recommend this skirt enough- I love everything I get from this company: https://roucha.com/products/p-02-005-shao-skirt
Congratulations on your soon to be book launch and book tour.
I can’t wait to have my hands on THE TREE COLLECTORS.
I enjoy giving THE DRUNKEN BOTANIST as a birthday present to my friends. Wish I could give it to family members too! Does it have a French version ?
Memory tips : muscle memories.
I use it with my students in French class.
The logical part of our brain is strong and useful, but unfortunately it becomes fickle and not very reliable under stress. That’s when muscle memory comes to the rescue. I condition the students to associate several different inputs with a new French word or sentence : a picture, a music, a gesture. With that technique the memory is stored in more than one part of the brain and it is easier to access.
I wish you the best on the coming weeks of your book tour !
I love it when siblings are friends and I love it when friends support each other. Yes! Brava to letting the world know about your brother's skills.
I have gotten a lot of work travel mileage from the work uniform. A denim/chambray shirt seems to look universally good, doesn't have to be ultra crisp, and is stain-forgiving. My first identical 3 were from Madewell (they all split in the armpit area year 7), but I've thrift-ed a nice inventory since. I like to pair them with (sometimes wild, sometimes not) wide-leg pants, but for example the very versatile Allison pant from Marine Layer (I got mine from eBay, but retail works too):
Looking forward to your book! And a Zoom launch party to boot!

I love one-and-done recommendations. Thank you!

There is a French edition: here you go:

I so enjoy your newsletter. I’m told I have a good eye for photography, but I can’t draw at all or I’d upgrade.
May I say, your brother is a very good-looking man? He is.
Hahaha yes, my parents saved all the best genes for him--I was kind of the trial run.
We're watching the last episode of Dark Matter tonite!
Congrats to your brother for being a part of it.
Thanks! It's very cool to see this show take off.

Excited for your launch!
Thanks for the recommendation!
I’d love to go to your zoom book launch, but sadly(?), I’ll be in Norway on vacation
Sounds nice! There will be a recording if you want to catch it later.
I totally will!!
I’m excited about the launch party! Just ordered books—one for my tree loving, tree planting husband. He could be one of these 50 vignettes. 🌳🌲
Much appreciated! Hope your husband enjoys the book.
