BLITZED: Drugs in the Third Reich by Norman Ohler

Did you know that your answers to just a handful of questions can predict the zip code of where you grew up? In 2013 Josh Katz accumulated and visually mapped over 350,000 unique survey responses to questions about word choice and pronunciation throughout America. His dialect quiz quickly became the most viewed webpage in the history of the New York Times. In Speaking American Katz offers a visual atlas of the American vernacular—who says what, and where they say it—revealing the history of our nation, our regions, and our language. 

To celebrate the release of DORIE’S COOKIES (10/25), author Dorie Greenspan is encouraging bakers everywhere to spread joy and kindness to others with the Cookies + Kindness project. Dorie wants to make the world a sweeter place by baking and sharing delicious cookies with others. She’s even released early recipes from the book to help bakers get started including these Two-Bite One Chip Cookies and Breakfast Biscotti.

Participating is simple… all you have to do is Bake. Share. Post. 

BAKE a batch of cookies (bonus points if it’s a recipe from DORIE’S COOKIES) SHARE your baked goods with others – we guarantee you’ll see some smiles POST your creations (or the goodies you’ve received!) on social media using #cookiesandkindness and tagging @doriegreenspan  - and don’t forget #Dories_Cookies if it’s a Dorie recipe! 

Still need a little help figuring out how to post? Here are great examples of what people are already sharing: http://doriegreenspan.com/look-what-bakers-have-shared-for-cookiesandkindness/ 

And there’s more! We’ve created cookie kits to help spruce up your cookies including greeting cards, stickers, and tags to make sharing even more decorative. Download your cookie kit using the link above.

The brilliant Marrow Island by Alexis Smith is out June 7.

Here's a way to spread body love and help us promote the new paperback of Dietland: Most of the messages we receive during the day, in advertisements and magazines and online, tell us that our bodies need improvement. Wouldn't it be great if we saw messages that told us to love our bodies instead?

Stick a post-it on every public bathroom mirror you encounter. Stick a post-it on magazine covers that make women feel bad about their bodies. Post a picture of your post-it notes in action on social media with the hashtag #JenniferLives. Help us spread the message of Dietland and add some body positivity to the world.

Email a link to your #JenniferLives post to [email protected] by 5:00 PM, June 30, 2016 and be entered to win one of three plum-tacular gift baskets (pictured above)! Three winners will be chosen at random. More rules here: http://hmhbooks.tumblr.com/giveawayrules.
