Dear lovelies: In this dark time of #corinavirus and #selfisolation and #quarantine and #socialdistancing there are still bright places. What are some of yours right now? ✨💛 Mine include family and friends, near and far. Our five cats. Reading. Watching ATBP on @netflix (still pinching myself that it’s real!). Spontaneous dance parties with @silent_rhino and kids. Writing. YOU. Thank you for being my bright places, as bright as the stars in the sky. 💫💖 #mybrightplaces #youaremybrightplaces #allthebrightplaces #allthebrightplacesmovie #infinitecapacities #isolate2gether #brightplacesindarktimes #pleasewatchthemovie #stayhome #staywell #staybright https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XM9lGJ1lJ/?igshid=1vyewyf0e2mr9

The Violet Rhino Writing Studio. Where ideas come to life and Sam hides creepily behind the blinds. Dear lovelies: Who would like to join @angelo_surmelis and me for a (free) IG Live weekly writing workshop? Can we see a show of hands? Let’s stay home and let our imaginations do the wandering right now! 🌸🦏💻 #writingstudio #homeoffice #samanddean #writingworkshop #writinglife #angelosurmelis #violetrhino #write #whereiwork #mybrightplaces #stayhome #isolate2gether #letswrite https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kNMOdJLON/?igshid=d3ajdabqf6ah

I am becoming quite the cat photographer during quarantine. Thankfully we have five very photogenic and eccentric and WILD subjects, including this sweet rescue fluff @lunalovefold 💙 Who of course has her own IG. (Please follow her, lovelies!) 🐾💛 #mybrightplaces #quarantinelife #catphotos #lunalovegood #fluffycat #scottishfold #scottishfoldcat #adoptdontshop #rescuecat #catsofinstagram #glamourshots #somuchfluff https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Z3pOjpzRR/?igshid=1kjcegja6batc

In the middle of this pandemic and this lockdown, I’m focusing as much as I can on the bright places. So grateful to be with my wonderful, amazing husband @silent_rhino and our kitties and kiddos in our home, safe and healthy (knock wood) and able to write and work. So grateful for friends and family and loved ones across the globe, including you, my lovelies. Stay well and safe, and remember that even in this time of social distancing and self isolation, you are not alone. ❤️ #youmakemelovely #covid_19 #coronavirus #flattenthecurve #stayhome #gratitude #mybrightplaces #thankful #staysafe #stayhealty #selfie #youarenotalone https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Tn0Jkp8cA/?igshid=1sxauhuumb4ri

On #worldbookday I’m so thankful for every book I’ve ever read and written. For every bookseller, librarian, educator, bibliophile, publisher, and reader. For my amazing mom, an author herself, and my amazing dad, for passing down their love of books to me. Read on, lovelies! And thank you for being you! 📚📚📚💖 (photo of all my books: @silent_rhino Not pictured: BREATHLESS, coming Oct 6!!!) #worldbookday2020 #books #read #mybooks #reading #ilovebooks #ilovereading #gratitude #mybrightplaces #velvajean #theicemaster #adablackjack #aquanetdiaries #holdinguptheuniverse #allthebrightplaces https://www.instagram.com/p/B_V1H_OJxWy/?igshid=1wru9tdt0tnt6

Book shopping. Who else buys multiple copies of their favorite books when they stumble across new and different versions? And which book do you have the most copies of? (Me: Little Women, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Secret Garden, Jane Eyre, The Wind in the Willows, In Cold Blood, Dracula, We Have Always Lived In the Castle, and The Haunting of Hill House.) 📚❤️ #books #ilovebooks #canterburyclassics #bookshopping #airportbookstore #chicago #bookstagram #mybrightplaces #bookcovers #myfavoritebooks #ireadclassics (pc: @silent_rhino ) (at Chicago O'Hare International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B40F9EqJZfX/?igshid=mcnuc2eysd34

17 years ago today I lost my dad. 💔 He was smart and funny and full of mischief. When I was growing up, he loved to embarrass me by answering the house phone and making my friends or (worse!) boyfriends think they’d reached Domino’s or the Waffle House or some other business in town. He made my dates stand outside while they waited for me, even in the dead of Indiana winter because, as he told my mom (when she said, “But, Jack, they’re only teenage boys...”), “I was a teenage boy once.” He was a marathon runner who once chased on foot my best friend @kraemersj and some of the cutest boys in our high school class after he interrupted them toilet papering our house. 😳😑 He was protective and artistic. A little gruff. A little stubborn. He loved the sea, adventure, music, art. He was a gourmet chef in his spare time, but he once made me six boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese because it was my favorite. No one was prouder when I sold my first book. When I was little, I used to ride everywhere on his shoulders. 👨‍👧💞Dear lovelies: Make the most of every minute and the people who are here. ❤️ And thank you @artbypudge for this lovely fan art, which somehow reminds me of him. 💛 #mybrightplaces #imissmydad #fatherdaughter #hewashere #fanartfriday #allthebrightplaces #hemademelovely #love #makethemostofeveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/B3McGxgpXW-/?igshid=1beofm852s6e5

Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies! On this day and every day I’m so incredibly grateful for you! And I’m so incredibly grateful for my family. Husband, kids, aunts, uncle, cousins. Food, home, unconditional love, laughter, lots of silliness, joy, and snuggles. My heart is full. ❤️ #Thanksgiving #happythanksgiving #family #familyiseverything #love #ilovemyfamily #somuchlove #mybrightplaces #theymakemelovely (at Holden Beach, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5cEdkmpzDw/?igshid=1wd5c8km5rozt

Dear lovelies: This is for you. 🌸💕Thank you for always making me smile. For making it lovely. For the love you show not only Finch and Violet and Libby and Jack but the love you show me and each other. For the way you reach out to one another when someone says they’re hurting, even if you don’t know them. For the very personal stories you share. For the beautiful fan art you create and the heartfelt messages and posts. For reading and rereading and being so patient about the ATBP film (!). For brightening my world and the world around you just by being you. I love you!

Happy #fanartfriday to all the lovelies! One of my favorite days of the week! This has been a rough one— food poisoning is no joke— but I am feeling better and stronger and so, so happy to be moving around again. Thank you for keeping me company these past few days while I recover— your posts, fan arts, messages. You are the best in all the world and you make me happy, you make me smile! 💞🌸🐦 #youmakemelovely #fanart #allthebrightplaces #comingsoon #theodorefinch #violetmarkey #ellefanning #justicesmith #mybrightplaces
