swan_towerHappy book day to me! It feels a little strange saying that on a Friday. :-)
Driftwood goes on sale today. If you're getting a print book, I heartily encourage you to order it from a local bookstore; they need your support more than ever right now. I also recommend making use of IndieBound or Bookshop.org, both of which can help you support a local business (in the latter case, either directly or through your purchase going to a general pool for participating stores).
I'm . . . frankly astonished at how good the response to this book has been. I could wish it hadn't hit at the right time for "how do you decide what matters to you and hold into that in the face of destruction?" to be such a resonant question, but here we are, and it's gotten a trifecta of starred reviews from Publishers' Weekly, Booklist, and Kirkus, along with positive mentions from a score of other venues so far. The premise may be bleak -- worlds crumbling en route to their final destruction -- but ultimately this is a book about friendship, community, and not giving up. If that sounds like something you would want to read, maybe not today, but some day, then I heartily encourage you to pick it up.
Oh, and also? I GOT A FRICKIN' 3D AR COVER HOW COOL IS THAT. :-D :-D :-D
