A week after the release of her new book, Dylan has been sharing details about various signing events she has coming up.

After promoting one of her tour dates, a few fans pointed out how a local would’ve written her Instagram caption.

Dylan wrote: “Anyone want to join me in Long Island this Saturday??

“I’ll be signing Misty the Cloud books at @barnesandnoble in Carle Place and I’d love meet you!!”

The Today host’s followers noticed she said “in Long Island,” which those around the area would not have said.

One fan realized this and decided to help Dylan learn the local lingo ahead of her event, writing: “It’s on Long Island!”

A second told her: “Sorry Dylan but we natives say ‘on Long Island,’” along with a laughing-crying emoji.

Despite the little flub on how best to share she’s heading to Long Island for her book tour, fans are excited about the possibility of seeing her in person at the event.

One excited fan commented: “We love Misty the Cloud! Will try to join you on Saturday!”

Another told her: “Would love to meet you! You are so cute!”

A third said: “Damn wish I could OMG!”

Dylan had a little on-air celebration for the release of her new book last Tuesday during Today’s Pop Start pop culture news segment.

She sat around with her co-hosts as they all smiled and congratulated her on the new title.

The author shared on Twitter a clip from the sweet on-air moment, writing with it: “I’m just so excited to finally get this out to you all! I hope you enjoy this new adventure in the sky!!”

She also gushed on social media how the moment was a “dream come true,” but a rude troll tried to step on that dream.

The mean commenter wrote: “Just because she was chosen to work at Today, she, like Hoda and Savannah are cashing in.

“Would anyone be buying this book is she wasn’t on the Today show? NO!

“Would she have even written it? NO!”

Dylan saw the rude note and clapped back, writing: “Thanks for crushing peoples’ dreams! You should pick up a copy of my book and learn about kindness!”

Fans jumped in to have the Today host’s back, defending her against the mean message and supporting her new book.

One follower told her: “Perfect response!”

Another said: “She’s very good at her job which is why she is there. Also very talented. She’s earned respect..”

A third wrote: “We have enough unkindness in the world. This book sounds very sweet. Congratulations!

“Here is an idea for Yay thinkers as opposed to Nayers. I don’t have kiddies in my life, but I would like to donate a few books. If you can recommend where to donate books, let us know.”

Dylan’s new book is a follow-up to her first, Misty the Cloud: A Very Stormy Day, which was published in October 2021.
