Book launch day

It’s February 18th, which means that A Curse for the Homesick is out today. I’m too emotional to write anything revelatory here, but I’ve collected some bits and bobs that may be helpful if you’re looking for more information about the book.

Wait, what book?

This book.

Where can I buy it?

• You should be able to buy it at the bookstore of your choice. This is a great option because indie bookstores are The Best.

• You can also order it here from Bookshop.org (Bookshop works with indie bookstores. This is a fab choice!)

• Or the HarperCollins website.

• Also Target, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

• I would also love it if you got it from your local library!

And if I’m not in the US?

Unfortunately, the UK/Australia publication has been a wee bit delayed, but it’s still coming your way this year. I hope to have more info shortly!

What are the launch event details?

The launch event is this Thursday, February 20th, at the Corner Bookstore. You can buy a copy there (and it would be rad if you did)! I’ll be there from 6:00-7:30 talking about the book, answering questions, and signing books. Please come up with a list of 15-25 questions because I’m terrified no one will have any. If you’re in New York, come through!

How should I celebrate A Curse for the Homesick being out in the world?

I am so glad you asked.

• Wear a sweater

• Eat a cardamom bun

• Stare longingly at the ocean

• Text your ex (the nice one)

• Translate some old poetry

• Call your long-distance best friends and tell them you texted your ex (the nice one)

• Go to a diner

• Feel conflicted about the country of your birth

• Strike up a flirtatious relationship with someone via book recommendations! If I may be so bold, I have a suggestion for your first rec

So… What’s next?

I said in October that I’d be back with more Retrograder and other book news in December. Alas! I lied. I will drop some cool news at the book launch in a few days and online in the coming weeks/months.

Anything else?

Thank you all. Thank you for reading.
