Gotta admit, "rizz" is wholly new to me.
Per M-W: As a noun, rizz means “romantic appeal or charm” (as in “a bro who has rizz”); as a verb (typically used with up, as in “rizz up that cutie”) it means “to charm or seduce.” Internet-driven slang.
Cool, cool.

I won't jump from a plane to celebrate Candy Dahl's new picture book about the fearless woman who invented the parachute rip cord, but I will stand by a sign.
Belated happy book b-day to Candy Dahl & Maithili Joshi! TINY JUMPER

My latest read is the Call the Midwife trilogy. I’m a fan of the tv series and now of the books. The relationship between book and screen versions is a very pleasing one. I found the storytelling riveting and the audiobook narration just perfect.

Edited a novel featuring high tech while amongst nature at the San Diego Zoo. This is at The Bridge, a lovely spot at one end the pedestrian Bashor Bridge, which spans 450 feet across the Panda Canyon. Amazing views of San Diego. #MobileEditingOffice

Fun fact: The Hotel Del Was the First Commercial Building Lit by Electricity, lit be Thomas Edison himself. See comments for the full fact about this.

“she always made me feel as though I was her favorite person—and I suspect just about everyone felt that way around Eve.” Truth. I assisted on many of Eve’s books for Harcourt - she was as lovely as she was creative. Her body of work is a powerful gift. bit.ly/3PRRYbv

Finished my latest read. Good one! Multiple narratives + news clips and police transcripts. The audiobook has multiple voice narrators, for clarity with all those pieces and just for fun. I enjoyed it. #nickbrooks

Ahhhh…. Do you have a reading space that makes you sigh when you open your book and settle in? Literally SIGH? That’s my blue umbrella, and, my sigh when I sit down to read under it at the beach is truly delicious.
