Tomorrow marks FOUR YEARS since Crawdads first made the NYT Bestseller List! It has never dropped off and holds the record for the number one spot — more than a year and a half. It has sold more than 16 million copies. But the best part is the deep and lasting connections I have made with so many readers all over the world. Thank you with all my heart for being part of the Crawdads story.

It was a great honor to speak at the @kennedycenter last weekend, and especially to speak about conservation which is so close to my heart.
