After 13.5 amazing years, I'm leaving Publishers Weekly. My last day is November 3.

(Let's hope it's someone else's last day on the job as well.)

It's been a really good run. I'll miss my colleagues and reviewers so much; there have been a lot of tearful emails and phone calls over the last week. But it's time.

I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I'm joining the PCMag team as a managing editor. I'm especially happy to be working with Wendy Sheehan Donnell, a superb editor, and with my high school buddy Sascha Segan. Tech has always been just as much a part of my life as books, and I'm looking forward to diving back into that world.

For the first time since 2002, I get to just read books and have my own opinions about them. How fucking wild is that?

The ad for my job at PW is posted here. If you're interested, please email me at rose@booklife.com for more details.

It's a pretty weird time to be sharing good news, especially such BIG good news. But I'm so happy to have something good in my life, and I think it's important to talk about good things in hard times. If there's goodness in your life, large or small—even just something you ate that was tasty or something you saw that was pretty—please share in the comments. I'd love to hear about it.

Belated reply - I hope your last few days go OK!
