I've enjoyed a great run of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐reads lately and "Ghost Town" by Tom Perrotta is the latest. It's a fast, super-vivid and evocative look back at a 13-year-old boy's life-changing summer in 1974 small-town NJ. Highly recommend this intimate, powerful novel. #BookSky📚💙#authorssupportingauthors

100 pages into Ann Patchett's "Whistler" and it's excellent. Will it end up being as good as her last one, the superb "Tom Lake?" We'll see! Who's reading it? #booksky 📚💙

#doglovers will love THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD, a beautiful collection of essays edited by @ahoffmanwriter.bsky.social and penned by a fine group of authors about the dogs in their lives, past and present. Read it and weep--literally. #BookSky 💙📚
PLEASE COME TO BOSTON continues to find its fans. Thx to all who've read & supported! Boston, 1975: BU freshman Nicky DeMarco didn’t expect to fall for two people at once. Neither did Joe. Nor did Lori. This is their story. (Also the perfect #PrideMonth2026 read!) #comingofagefiction #BookSky💙📚
BEFORE I FORGET by Tori Henwood Hoen is my new favorite read. So well-drawn, involving & fast-paced. Great characters & many moving & amusing moments. Not sure I've ever seen anyone with Alzheimer's so lovingly & uniquely portrayed & with such warmth & humor. A wonderful piece of work. #BookSky 📚💙

"The Pitt" season two finale was not only an hour of great television but reconfirms the series as one of the best written, acted and produced dramas in line with "The Sopranos," "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "Six Feet Under." It's sometimes a tough watch, but so worth the effort.
Excellent finale to HBO Max's "DTF St. Louis." Kudos to the superb cast & creator Steven Conrad for 7 great episodes, so unique, twisty and bold. Above the mystery and the sexual component, a profound portrayal of male friendship unlike any I've seen. Won't be for everyone, but highly recommend.
@brucespringsteen.net and the E Street Band never disappoint! Last night's L.A. show at the Kia Forum was awesome. Moving, powerful and joyous. The best!
I’m excited to be speaking at Allegory, a day-long, writer-first conference highlighting craft, connection & career growth, March 21 in LA. Among the many great panels, I'll be hosting "A Novel Approach to Screenwriting." Register now & save 20% w/promo code GOLDSTEIN20. More info: allegory.live!
#MercuryRetrograde is back! Now till Mar 20. You know the drill--and if you don't: proceed w/caution, not a great time to sign contracts or start something all-new, be aware of miscommunications & tech glitches, and most of all, be patient! A good time to reconnect, reorganize, reflect, reconsider.
Had a blast at last night's staged reading event hosted by @FYCindependents & LACAE (LA Community of Acting & Entertainment) Theatre/School. Big thanks to Meredith Thomas for organizing and the Emmy-centric cast for bringing my TV comedy pilot "Correspondent!" to such vivid life. #writerslife
"Crime 101" is a terrific film, superbly acted, crafted and told. Evokes some of the great crime thrillers of past decades. The cast is excellent but Halle Berry is the film's MVP. Check it out!
LA Peeps: Reminder about Sunday eve's staged reading event in conjunction with FYC Independent & LACAE (LA Community of Actors & Entertainment). A starry cast of Emmy winners & nominees in back-to-back TV pilot scripts incl. my madcap TV news comedy "Correspondent!" Tickets/more info: bit.ly/4ko8jDK
LA Peeps! Honored that my zany TV comedy pilot "Correspondent!" will be performed Feb. 15 in an evening of staged readings hosted by FYC (For Your Consideration) Independent to benefit LACAE (LA Community of Acting & Entertainment) Theatre & School. Please join us! Tix/info: bit.ly/4ko8jDK
A terribly sad way to end a tough month. RIP to one of the greats. She will be deeply missed for sure. #catherineohara
