I read Old Man's War twice and loved it so much. I hope you revisit some of the more "hard sci fi" stuff you've done. That's not to say Kaiju Preservation Society and other more humorous stories weren't also amazing though :)

👍🏼👍🏻👍🏿👍🏽👍👍🏾

Congratulations! Such a beautiful way to celebrate too 🫶

Oh that’s wonderful. Love this one! And Saint Dolly, of course.

Class in countless ways

A very good idea

Dude, I'm just glad for the pleasure of your company in a place where my psyche ISN'T getting bruised on the regular!

Nice!

I love her program What a wonderful gift!

I am a teacher and I am so glad you support this program! It doesn’t work in my area but I use a different program in my area. I was able to get a book for every kid in the school and some to update my school library books through a different program. I love programs like these!

We got a book once a month from that foundation for my daughter.

Dolly Parton is a great lady.

"Holy Buckets" *squints eyes* Iowa?

What do you get out of 200k followers? Earnest question. This is like the 5th/6th post in 20min about followers, about the 100th I've seen in the ~5 days I've been here. Are you getting paid? Getting a promotion at work? What?

6 followers and 2 beautiful pups, what more could you want?

Wow congratulations! And a worthwhile cause. ❤️ Educating kids in the greatest gift. Indoctrinating them with magical thinking is the greatest crime.

What a wonderful gesture! My kids grew up in Knoxville with books from the Imagination Library, it means a lot to us

That’s such a neat idea and so much cooler than showing us your cans! You’ve inspired me to make a donation as well when I cross follower milestones

Congratulations!

Congrats, and this is an awesome way to celebrate!

What a fantastic charity.

Hopefully the classic banned books like huck finn

What kind of books? Hope it's pro lgbtqia++ too!

damn massive congrats

Dolly Parton is a goddam national treasure. Is she over here just free balling it? I’ll have to go look.

Congrats and kind of you. This is what community is supposed to be!

Great! My grandson loves these books. Every child should sign up.

I just told someone about the time I made you red shirt cookie men 🤣 Good to see you here!

Wow!

I absolutely want to see a Scalzi copyright free children's book distributed by Dolly Parton. Like Red Shirts, but more animals...

Great way to celebrate!!!

I don’t even know who you are.

Thanks for that, John! We just got our son’s first book from Miss Dolly. The reimagined Little Engine That Could!

I followed you because of this post!!

Congratulations John! And Thanks for suggesting a Christmas gift in memory old friend. I wish my state has a Dolly.

Would you say you're in your....Starter Villain era? Jk congrats!

Thanks for your work in general, and especially the Little Fuzzy reboot. The original got me into Piper's work, and his era of SF in general. Your version showed how love for Piper's craft could be combed apart from his colonialism. - Could you do the same for all of Kipling's work, please?

As the parent of a child who is obsessed with reading and a I myself being a huge fan of your work, thank you for your donation! The Imagination Library is such an incredible gift to children everywhere!

Congrats! I just passed 93 followers so I’m somewhat of a celebrity myself 😎💙

I’ve never known of anyone else who says “Holy buckets” until now 😉

Good idea 💡 congratulations on your donation 👏

I need some of that! Send a few this way! LOL

perfect way to celebrate

Always had fun with your books. Thanks for writing them and being a positive presence here.

Awesomeness, Congratulations 👏 and a Big Thank You for the donation.

Hey John! Thrilled to follow you. Love you paying it forward to Imagination Library!

Amazing. Thank you for your words over the years!

Great way to celebrate! 🥳

That’s awesome - me, too - only not with as many zeros. I’m close to 200 at least. That’s progress, right?!

Thank you for that! Free books for kids is a wonderful thing & I appreciate you supporting Dolly's Imagination Library! 💝📚

THANK YOU! Books were such an integral part of my childhood & some of my fondest memories. ❤️📚❤️

I just followed you so add 1.

Oh, wow, congrats! 🎉

As a fan, this is not surprising. Please keep writing!

Congratulations ☺️

Both of my kids benefitted from this amazing program! Love it so much!

😀👍

Excellent! Now, it would be great to start following back the followers. We all grow stronger together! Thanks!!

Quality not quantity my friend.

Congratulations!!

How effin cool!

❤️

Where did the phrase Holy Buckets come from?

Holy buckets indeed!

This is one of my daughter’s Christmas gifts. Thank you for posting!!

that's great

My kids were enrolled in this. It's an amazing program!

Thank you! Also, Dolly Parton should be a saint in every religion.

we must begin a new age of enlightenment. our species depends on it.

Crossover episode

Hey, Hank. Hope your weekend is going well.

Great choice! As a retired public librarian, I’ve seen what a difference the Imagination Library makes in kids lives.

Wonderful charity

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." — Jiddu Krishnamurti

I have 29. All that I have learned here is that the library is actually empty. Nobody likes a writer. Everybody likes the commercial more than anything else. We live in the era of "I want it yesterday." It's where we belong, and the lessons we are about to learn are well deserved.

We love the Imagination Library. My two kiddos have both gotten books since birth from it. Such a wonderful service.

I guess that many followers definitely makes you a leader ...

My grandson is on that mailing list, he loves getting books in the mail!

Wow...I hope you'll follow back 😊

Amazing content, civil people, great conversations and a sprinkling of pet photos, what more could we want?! Glad to have you a part of my experience as well!

I follow you so would you please follow me?!? 💙

It’s great isn’t it I have 14 followers.

Thank the cat.

Banned books I hope

That's awesome! I used to follow you when you were on the bad place, and I was really happy to find you here.

Make it 200,001

I've fooled them all!

Congratulations! That's quite the achievement. I just got my first follower, so we're almost the same 😆

Please share some of those followers l o l

How do you do it!!

Wow! I thought I was kicking ass with 4 🤣

Amazing! This is how we make the world a better place! So happy for you, and for you paying it forward with the donation you made to the Imagination Library! “Imagination is more important than knowledge” - Albert Einstein

Congrats. This platform is crazy. I’ve never had over 1000 followers ever. In like 20 years of social media crap. I think it took me a week to get up to 1.1k.

Donated and love your animals💜🐾

Congratulations! I have 81 followers.

Yay!!! Exactly what I needed! 😁🥹🥰

A worthy cause for sure, and congratulations

I was gonna say the same about 40.

Well, we get to reinvent the timeline with icons of our choosing. Gas and Sip. youtu.be/rxTHeNHEG7M?...

My grandson’s get Dolly’s books every month and they are great!!

And that is why we appreciate you so much! Yay books for kids!

Thank you for the donation to a worthy program.

Can I get 5 followers?

🤣

👏 congrats

You just earned yourself a follow for supporting this amazing organization. Dolly Parton is the Queen and a great American.

Love Dolly , she is so giving, and a great example of a Christian women .

My wife grew up in rural Tennessee and benefitted greatly from Dolly's program. She even got to meet her when she was 7 in years old. She said Dolly gave her a hug and "had the kindest most gentle energy" she'd ever felt, my wife said she tried to never let go of that hug.

I know how that feels! I’m sitting at 34 and racing towards 50. Seriously, Dolly is the best.

Great cause! Thank you for supporting it!

Hello dear👋🏻♥️, I know we have not met before, but I am Diva. I need your help to help our friend Rana and her family in Gaza because she is suffering from harsh conditions of hunger, death and disease. She has the right to learn and live in peace like others🙏🏻💔 , Through its link👇🏻 gofund.me/75862933

Good man John. Keep sending that Karma forward

I just passed 100! Same energy!
