My kids have figured out that YouTube is a wealth of fun things. Now they play “good vibes” music during chore-time. And this little boy loves Scratch Garden.

I’m learning how to crochet #amigurumi, thanks to my friend @b.kepner! My first project is a @woobles narwhal. 🐳
Amigurumi also reminds me of my fellow #scwbi #omawinner @ncheny, who recently had a book birthday for IT’S BOBA TIME FOR PEARL LI!

Posted @withregram • @mgin23 Two great MG books are out in the world TODAY! Happy book birthday to @mariajosewrites and @linh.s.nguyen!! 🎉🎉🎉

Essentially this is my job in a nutshell.
Happy Monday!

You’re so awesome, Dianne!! Thank you!!
Posted @withregram • @diannewrites What’s on my reading list? My friend, @kchowrites debut, MIRACLE! I can’t wait to dive in because this is a book about important things: family, cancer, loss, and ultimately… hope. Coming on March 28 from @christyottavianobooks @littlebrownyoungreaders

Thank you for reading, Cassie!!! ❤️🥰
Posted @withregram • @cassiemillerwrites What am I reading next? How about @kchowrites’ debut, Miracle? This trumpet (and piano) player cannot wait to start it!
Growing up, I craved books with main characters who were musicians, but I don’t remember ever reading about them. I’m so thankful that today’s youth have that opportunity. ☺️
Miracle hits the shelves March 28th! Watch this space for my review soon. 🎶💛

Countdown 18 days until MIRACLE releases! So I’m posting another #readmiracle pic of my friend Steve Son, who played trumpet when he was a kid. Thanks, Steve!!
Show me the instrument you played as a kid (or as a grownup) and tag me! Can’t wait to see your photos. ☺️

I don’t get to read as much as I’d like, but here is what is/has been/will be on the list. 🙂
Note: Lessons in Chemistry was a book club pick and it was fantastic! (great way to celebrate women in STEM)

I had wonderful author friends who took the time to read MIRACLE and give a blurb.
Thank you
@dustibowling @cindybaldwinbooks @amandahillauthor and Mary Lambert! You are the best!

Carney Springs Waterfall (via Shaka Cave trail). It rained on Wednesday and the water was flowing (and cold!). So pretty here. Top 5 hikes for sure.

I’m on my local indie bookstore’s events page! So exciting. I’ve been dreaming of having a book launch at @changinghands for years. I’ve celebrated so many launches with my local author friend here. And now it’s finally coming close. ❤️🥰

Since i’m less than a month away from book launch day, let’s launch a new trend! If you have an #arc of MIRACLE, I want to see what instrument you played as a kid (or as a grownup)!! Take a photo of the book with you and your instrument! And tag me @kchowrites. 🎉
This is my beautiful sister @erin_chow. She played viola for several years because she loved its sound. ❤️🥰😘
