It’s #RevPit season! And this week you can meet all our amazing editors. Join me on TODAY on Bluesky and you can ask me all the burning questions you have. Do I love to read? (Obviously, why would you even ask that?), Do I have cats? (Yes, two! Let’s discuss their cuteness), Or the really hard questions like what even are books? (they are good things and uh I love them).
