Hello, Friends! We’re doing a new feature here at Cuddlebuggery showcasing our favorite literary (authors, bloggers, readers, general bookish community) tweets of the week. This week will be a bit short, but hopefully full of goodness.
It’s always fun when authors take the time to reach out on Twitter…
Hello new followers!
You have made a terrible mistake. Run while you can.

Ah, those #booknerdproblems:
Getting rid of books, and it feels like I'm losing a vital body parts. So hard to part ways with books, but I need to clear up some space.

I'm doing a super shit job of not being on twitter.
— meg (@megsaysthings) June 8, 2015
(that’s okay, Meg, we love you anyway!)
And let’s not forget some of the great tweets in the Tor mess (and if you’re wondering what that is, we will cover it in Buzz on Monday!):
Overconfidence? Hypersensitivity? Venomous jealousy? Congratulations! You're a toddler. Or a writer. Either one.

1. Man gets called homophobic.
2. Man denies, an in process makes GROSSLY HOMOPHOBIC REMARKS.
3. Man feels vindicated.
4. Man repeats.— Victoria/V.E. Schwab (@veschwab) June 9, 2015

But for now, we leave you with the thought of the week:
Greatness is opposite of perfectionism. To achieve greatness at anything, you have to suck at other things. You have to let things go.
— Justine Musk (@justinemusk) June 9, 2015
And the picture of the week. (yum!)
