Happy Sunday, dear chickens.

And Happy Father's Day to all you incredible Daddies out there, especially my own, who is one of the greatest joys in my life. I come to you today from the grand Rocky Mountains, as I am still touring cross-country for the FIELD OF GRAVES launch. I've so enjoyed getting to meet some of you, hearing your stories (sounds like you're just as glad that I am that Taylor's back!), and getting to say hi to bookseller friends old and new. It's been a hard week for so many reasons, and in the midst of the darkness, I'm so glad to connect with my people, the reading community. Y'all are such a thoughtful, imaginative group, and I'm glad you're mine.

And without further ado . . .

If you're interested in finding some simplicity this week, this lost of suggestions is absolute perfection. I felt peaceful just reading it.

And closer to home:

My love for Freedom is no secret; I've written more than a million words using this distraction-blocking app. I talked to my friends at Freedom about how I use their app and loads of other tools to write, and you can read our chat here and here.

Also, book recommendation: I'm in the middle of SWEETBITTER by Stephanie Danler. Oh my, chickens—I am utterly entranced. It's the real deal. Methinks you need to read this one.
