I can’t believe my first book turns one next week. What a year it’s been! Here’s one of my favorite pages. If you haven’t gotten a copy yet, go to the link in my bio where you’ll find links to select stores carrying it and the rest of the @chroniclebooks line of Disappointing Affirmations products, including the brand new sticker book and card game, plus a link to preorder the 2026 wall calendar that’s dropping in July. Book two is coming out on October 7th, and I’m currently talking with my publisher about a desk calendar. It’s going to be another fun year.
