This one was too real. Hard to believe it was written in 1922.

Horrifying, with a tiny glimmer of hope at the end. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @arielsaramandi.bsky.social

I liked the inventive structure of Makenna Goodman’s new book throughout, but I was really won over by the final pages.

I loved it so much, I hate risking spoilers, but I’ll say it puts me in mind of a favorite Albee play, as different as they are.

Thanks for this moving book, @grady-chambers.bsky.social , and thanks for the ARC, @tinhouse.bsky.social

With this one, I’ve finished (and loved) the 100 volumes of the Collectors’ Wodehouse. #booksky @everymanslibrary.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social

Why did I wait so long to read this? So good. I can’t for the next book from @waidner.bsky.social : As If. Preordered.

Just finished these two today. Very different. Both formidably written (and translated). #booksky #WITMonth @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

My favorite way to experience a city? Running through its empty streets hours before dawn, catching breaths of chilled air blowing under the glass doors of the office buildings, knowing that before long, the streets and sidewalks will be packed. #booksky @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

What a fun book! Every time I recognized one of the sources, I got a little jolt of joy. #booksky @tomcomitta.bsky.social @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

Just finished my second book by Ben Myers. “The Gallows Pole” was terrific, as was “Cuddy.” Which of his books should I read next? #booksky

Looking for a good read for Women in Translation Month? Try Gabriela Cabezón Cámara’s “We Are Green and Trembling,” translated by Robin Myers. It’s a winner. #booksky @ndbooks.bsky.social
