Five more international editions arrived this week, and it felt like Chrismukkah. Seeing my work find a home in other countries is something I used to dream of, and I still feel giddy whenever I see a new cover or hear from a reader in Albania (!). . In the first pic, here’s where I keep my foreign editions... they’re almost outgrowing their shelf! In the second pic is the five newbies. Clockwise from top: Lithuanian, Dutch, Hebrew, Chinese (Taiwan), and Portuguese. 🌏
Why, yes, I DID just crouch beside the neighbor’s house for ten minutes while taking pictures of the leaves on my book cover against the leaves on the ground. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself otherwise. . These are my reading copies of #theimmortalists, which means they’ve traveled with me to dozens of tour stops since January 2018. They’re dog-eared and sticky-noted and far more worn than they look in this picture. When I do events, I almost always get questions about the cover—how we came up with it (all credit to the brilliant art department @putnambooks) and whether I love it as much as readers do (YES!). We went through a few different concepts before landing on this one, but when we did, my editor @sallyjkim and I knew it was right. I love the allusion to both a family tree and a tree of life, and the fact that leaves from all seasons are present at the same time gives it an extra kick of magic. Klara would approve. . Which do you guys like better, hardcover or paperback? There’s something so stately and magnificent about a hardcover, I think, but the paperback is spritely and easygoing and perfectly sized for fall wandering. 🍃🍂🍁
I’m currently obsessed with all shades of dusty lavender, so it’s no wonder that the hat and scarf I finished this month are both in that family. 🦄 . I wanted to find a really special shawl pattern for my @bleupoussiere #piedbleu, an 80% BFL/20% nylon sock yarn in one of the dreamiest hand-dyed colorways I’ve encountered—@woolychanterelle is truly an artist, and I’m so excited to try her Taiga and Nebula yarns next. I decided to knit @threadandladle’s #outlikealamb, a fingering-weight shawl with a scalloped lace border (my first!). The rest of the shawl is formed by short rows in garter—such a clever, one-more-row-inducing technique. . The hat is the #creamhat by @jonnahoo. I loved its big, squishy brim, and 6 inches of twisted rib was all worth it when it came time to connect the two ends of the brim. For this project, I paired @purlsoho’s heavenly #cashmeremerinobloom and @camelliafibercompany’s (sadly discontinued, I think!) Yak Lace. The Yak Lace leans slightly more purple and the Cashmere Merino Bloom more dusty pink, which creates the most beautiful heathered depth. . What color(s) are you addicted to lately? 🧶🤗
I know I posted wedding photos a few pictures back, so forgive me for sharing a few more—but today is my five year anniversary with @nathanjandl, and I have to mark the occasion. At this time five years ago, Nathan was over halfway into a seven-year PhD in English; I was just publishing my first book, writing on weekends while working in social services; and we didn’t even have ONE cat. . Five years later, life has given us more than we could’ve imagined in every way: dizzying highs and shocking lows both. I’d take a wee bit more neutrality in the next five years, but I do know how very lucky I am—especially to walk through it all with this man beside me. . Oh. And can you tell fall is my favorite season? We were married in Shelburne, VT on a day as stormy as the one I was born—a good omen, I’d say. 🍂🍁🍂
