The Stand by @stephenking.bsky.social is one of my favorite books. The End of the World as We Know It collects stories set in this world from a bevy of great authors! @meggardiner.bsky.social @chuckwendig.bsky.social @ronaldmalfi.bsky.social @tananarivedue.bsky.social @timlebbon.bsky.social

The Twilight Zone was an imaginative series with stories that still impress and resonate 60 years later. I'm excited to read new stories that honor that legacy, written by some real heavyweights! @torbooks.bsky.social @whitleystrieber.bsky.social @lauralippman.bsky.social @joerlansdale.bsky.social

A standalone thriller from Phillip Margolin comes out this November! False Witness introduces defense attorney Karen Wyatt. Freed from wrongful imprisonment, and now with something to prove. Margolin writes fast-paced, interesting legal thrillers, and this looks exciting! @minotaurbooks.bsky.social

Session 9 and Frailty are two that stuck with me. Great psychological horror

The new Gabriel Ward historical mystery from Sally Smith comes out this November! A Case of Life and Limb sees Gabriel hard at work on a libel case when a severed hand shows up at the Inner Temple. More parts follow, and it's clear the Temple is the target! @bloomsburybooksus.bsky.social

The Kindom trilogy by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social concludes with This Brutal Moon, which comes out this December. This is hands down one of the best SF series I've read in the last 10 years. If you haven't read the first two yet, what are you waiting for?! @orbitbooks.bsky.social

I thought he was the guy on the Steelers the Packers could have drafted instead of Kevin King, no?

Happy to find some books I'd been curious about at The Book Deal, including The Maid by Nita Prose. This appears to be a smart mystery with an intriguing main character. Can't wait to read!

Who doesn't love a good thriller about a hitman? Assassin Eighteen by @johnbrownlow.bsky.social looks like a lot of high-octane fun! Happy to find at a bookstore I hadn't visited before, The Book Sale.

Found a book I've wanted to pick up for a while and couldn't resist. The Grim Company by @lukescull.bsky.social Action, battles, and a fun story. That's what I love, and this book looks like it will deliver! Excited to read. @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

I love legal thrillers. Grave Danger by James Grippando looks like a great one. Jack Swyteck takes the case of a mother fleeing to Miami from Iran with her daughter and a father who wants her back—a fight in international court and a strain on his own marriage loom. @harpercollins.bsky.social

I couldn't escape this book on social media, and I understand why. Not Quite Dead Yet by @hojay92.bsky.social is about a young woman who is attacked and suffers an injury that leaves her with 7 days to live. Jet has just enough time to solve her own murder! @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

Caddyshack is a legendary movie that people have been discovering, rewatching, and quoting for more than 40 years. In Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story, Chris Nashawaty goes behind the scenes with the tale of how this irreverent story became a classic! @flatironbooks.bsky.social

Tad Ottman @tottman.bsky.social · Sep 24

Amazing to think of how many great, classic movies came out in the summer of 1982, one after the other. E.T, Blade Runner, The Road Warrior and more! The Future Was Now by Chris Nashawaty chronicles it all. Blockbusters, apparent failures, all classics. Love them all! @flatironbooks.bsky.social

One of the best books of the year has arrived! The Killer Question by @janicehallett.bsky.social is deliciously good! This is a must for mystery lovers! Check out the review: bit.ly/46QV8Wu @atriabooks.bsky.social

I love @janicehallett.bsky.social 's writing style! It's a unique method of storytelling using texts, app messages, police reports and news accounts. She manages to build suspense and add thrills in totally unexpected ways. I can't wait to read The Examiner! @atriabooks.bsky.social

What a great time to return to the Old Man's War universe with The Shattering Peace by @scalzi.com . It's been 10 years of peace, but trouble is always looming. Check out the review: bit.ly/422CcBr This is another good one! #bookthreads @torbooks.bsky.social

David Rosenfelt keeps the hits coming with great Andy Carpenter books. Dogged Pursuit, a prequel, is one of the best ones yet. Great place to start for new readers and a real treat for fans of the series. Check out the review: bit.ly/4nyuuYP
