yeah it was hard to find for a while (it released in November iirc) because all the bookstores showed two different hardcover editions without specifying that one of them was large print! it seems like recently more of them do actually clarify that the one is large print, so hopefully that'll help people find it <3

annotated hardcover giveaway

it's The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher's first birthday, so I'm celebrating with games and giveaways on social media all week! for my own sanity, the full schedule of events will happen only on Instagram, but this giveaway and select other events are happening across platforms.

if you're interested in reading the silly comments I left on this hardcover - including roasting my own characters, letting you know where I was doing my annotating that day, and occasional insights into the writing of Remarkable Retirement - here's how to enter:

this giveaway is open internationally to anywhere that can accept shipments from USPS. while it is taking place across platforms, there will only be one winner because it took me months to annotate a single copy.

the giveaway will run until 9a.m. EST this Friday, 26 April 2024.

in the meantime, you can take a quiz to find out which character from The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher you are: click here to take quiz on UQuiz

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

congratulations to @shyflameweasel for winning the annotated hardcover giveaway! I'll DM you shortly for a mailing address.

thank you so much to everyone who entered! this was my first time running a giveaway across platforms, as well as my first time running a giveaway for an annotated book, so I'm so grateful to all of you for your enthusiasm.

the audiobook should be dropping today, but the person who's been finalizing the sound edits came down with COVID. please send all your best get-well-soon vibes to them, and thank you for your patience as they finish up this work!

I have another book coming out in March 2025, The Keeper of Lonely Spirits, so please keep your eyes peeled for that. it's a cozy fantasy in which an old man cursed with immortality hunts ghosts rather than making mortal friends who will die one day. when a small Ohio town's residents adopt him as their own, he must decide: leave to protect his heart, or stay to save their lives?

(I don't have links for that yet, but you'll know when I do because I will shout it from the rooftops.)

thanks again to everyone for entering this giveaway, spreading the word, and tagging friends! I'm constantly amazed by and grateful for the support for Edna on this site <3

@caffeinated-bibliophile I personally would not know if someone were rb from a side blog or a main blog lol and also idc, rb from whatever blog you want for a chance to win!

also just an update for everyone that I am currently working on tallying up all the remaining entries in the hopes I can announce a giveaway winner in the next hour or so. it's been a very hectic and busy week at day job, plus I'll be at a convention this weekend which I am vastly underprepared for bc I've had no time to prep so despite my notification to myself I still managed to forget about this until about 15 minutes ago and then went AH SHIT FUCK THE GIVEAWAY

so if you're anxiously awaiting the winner announcement, hold tight! I'm working on it as we speak

okay good your tags are making me feel better bc I admit that during the time of the actual annotation I kept going "lmao am I even doing this right" but I just kept doing it bc I was having fun, so like whatever amiright, but I'm glad to hear there is at least one person who will enjoy exactly what I have done 😅

and for the night crowd! if you ask a question and I don't respond until morning, it's because this is my bedtime lol which is why I'm so little around for the night crowd unless it is the night crowd from somewhere many time zones removed from me

the Remarkable Retirement birthday shenanigans continue! this being Tumblr, I probably should've scheduled this for last night lol but oh well. anyway, I'll be answering questions all day about THE REMARKABLE RETIREMENT OF EDNA FISHER or my upcoming cozy fantasy THE KEEPER OF LONELY SPIRITS, so stop by and ask your questions!

it's so kind of you to call my random shitpost-like thoughts "info" 😂 I mean I guess there is some actual technical INFO but sometimes it's less about how a scene came together and more about where I was or what I was eating while annotating it lmao, bon appetite everyone

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one
