“Let every child inside me find her shoes.”

Hey, if you’re in the East Bay tomorrow (May 25th), come help me celebrate the publication of EVERY LIVING THING at the lovely, lively bookstore Mrs. Dalloway’s Literary and Garden Arts (@MrsDsBooks) in Berkeley. The perfect green venue for the book! eventbrite.com/e/jason-rober…?

Honored to be invited to address the CA Independent Booksellers (@CalibaBooks) meeting in Long Beach on Wednesday. Thanks to @lcamfio for making our stacks of EVERY LIVING THING promptly disappear.

Opening the Sunday paper and seeing EVERY LIVING THING named a New York Times Editor’s Choice. How cool is that? #NYT #BookTwitter #books

I’ll admit it was a rush to open today’s New York Times Book Review and see EVERY LIVING THING being given the full page treatment. “The snark is not merely entertainment—the portrait is central to the main thesis of Roberts’s engaging and thought-provoking book.”

YOU’RE INVITED to the book launch party for EVERY LIVING THING, Sat., April 13th, 4-6 pm at Book Passage in Corte Madera, CA. Drinks, hors d’oeuvres, a conversation with @ElizabethStix, plus party gifts that you can add to your own personal collection of living things. Do come!

Anyone else feel like the act of eating a pear remains a semi-mystical experience?

FYI, Every Living Thing is the true-life story of the quest to survey all life on Earth. It features duels, shipwrecks, lifelong rivalries, beasts with seven heads, and Thomas Jefferson dragging a giant moose from Vermont to Paris. It’s not your ninth-grade biology textbook.

It’s here! Hitting bookshelves April 9th. Official cover reveal from @randomhouse of my new nonfiction work, EVERY LIVING THING. #books #bookstoread #nonfiction

Morning bagel seems eager to get a start on the day.
