this is hard to say

I'm a midwestern boy who loathes promoting himself. It's almost painful smh. But, I've been working on this for the past 3 years, put my heart + soul into it, so here's my last effort to give it the spotlight it deserves . . . So, will you help me out? Anyways, thank YOU. love YOU. Excited to see you and meet you in two weeks ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, and hello from Connor's podcast. This is NOT Connor. It's his weekly audio/visual PODCAST. These having been going up every week for the past few months, so if you want more content...it's all here, baby ❤️

“i refuse to be afraid of myself any longer.” THIS HIT 🥺

It's so refreshing watching you being genuinely proud of yourself so openly. Can't wait to finally read the book after that little excerpt!

“talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular” my brain @ connor (pst can’t wait to see you in minnesota)

I personally have always found vulnerability to be a very attractive quality. Someone who is willing to be truthful about themselves is far preferable to someone who is always in hiding, I say that as someone who has done plenty of hiding in my past. When a person is vulnerable, they are the most themselves, and that’s what I want to see: people being themselves.

Hey Connor, I remember your first book being such a moment during my highschool days-everyone had a copy and we were writing angsty teenage essays off it for our english classes. Now here I am, about to graduate university as you release your next book. Crazy how time flies-one moment you're a Work in Progress and the next, you're about to be charged with arson. Always so proud of you 💕 Looking forward to the streaming event!

Ordered it a long while back. This old guy appreciates you.

Sir... I adore you with all my heart. Cannot wait for the book to come!

would like to take a moment and appreciate how his jacket matched the cover

it's such a privilege for us, chickpeas, to be able to have a piece of your truth and art in just a few weeks! I'm so so happy for you, Con, and I can't for my copy of House Fires to arrive! 🧡

Been following you since WAY back before you released a work in progress and swore I would support you when I was financially capable since I was just a middle schooler at the time. Watching how far you've come just makes me so proud and I can't begin to tell you how much you mean to me, even only virtually, as someone that's struggled and related to so much of your experiences 💜 I'm definitely ordering this book but sadly can't join your book tour cuz I'm not from the states 😢 wishing you all the best, con, and I do hope you get to do what makes you happy :)

whenever connor posts a video my serotonin instantly ✨ shoots up ✨

You’re such a lovely person and your poetry only adds depth to the goodness that’s already there 😔🤚 Thank you for your raw and honest influence. You inspire us to fully embrace ourselves, too.

So refreshing to see you again. I don’t know how you got lost in my YouTube but I am very glad to come back to this. Congratulations Connor💙

i will forever buy anything the connor puts out because he’s just always been that humble, midwestern guy. i always just felt like i just needed to see what his creative mind has accomplished. so, thank you, connor. I will forever be ready to be blessed by your creativeness and fantastic vibes. from, a long time fan from iowa, forever loving to see and hear what you do next

I'm so proud of you my sweet boy! I've supported you for years and I couldn't be prouder to support you still! I have all your other books and now I'm gonna get this one. 😌🥺🙌🏻❤️

I have absolutely loved every book you have written and I am beyond excited to read it. It’s already been preordered and I’m ready to have my heart be wrenched. That is all. Thank you.

Connor the authenticity, the vibes, the everything is fantastic! Thank you for being your beautiful self 💕

Yesss, love to see you owning and embracing your truth, Connor! 🙌 And an absolutely gorgeous except at the end 💜 Thank you for sharing xx
