Bathtub Tears, Old Clothes, and Hooting in the Corner

We’ve rounded up some of the best of what our authors have been doing, reading, and thinking this week. From bestsellers to old clothes to live owls, we’ve got your #FF covered.

Look on the bright side. If ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power, either way you’re a winner.

…and what if I do a Southern Reach reading with a live owl AND a live rabbit…& what if the owl reads and I hoot in a corner? Enticing?
