This one was too real. Hard to believe it was written in 1922. #booksky @ndbooks.bsky.social

Autumn has come to the farmers market!

I’ve got my October reading stacked up. Lots from the National Book Awards. Looking forward to the @goldsmithsprize.bsky.social shortlist. #booksky @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @ndbooks.bsky.social @citylightsbooks.bsky.social #proustsky @graywolfpress.bsky.social

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

Puzzling. Keep ‘em coming, @andotherstories.bsky.social #booksky

I liked the inventive structure of Makenna Goodman’s new book throughout, but I was really won over by the final pages. @coffeehousepress.bsky.social #booksky

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

I just finished Audition yesterday. So happy it made the Booker shortlist! @katiekitamura.bsky.social @thebookerprizes.com #booksky

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. #booksky

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

Look at this! Going to the top of my TBR list for an upcoming road trip. Thanks, @tinhouse.bsky.social #booksky

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

I’ve got some great reading lined up (well, stacked up) for August! @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @ndbooks.bsky.social #booksky

And here’s how I rounded out the month of July…#booksky

Look what just showed up on the doorstep! ❤️📚 @dseuss.bsky.social @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social #booksky

Special delivery! @waidner.bsky.social #booksky

I’ve got some promising books lined up for the week. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @penguinclassicsusa.bsky.social @fantagraphics.bsky.social

Finished this week: Ian Penman’s “Erik Satie Three Piece Suite,” SJ Kim’s “This Part is Silent,” and Georgi Gospodinov’s “The Phyics of Sorrow.” @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @andotherstories.bsky.social @liveright.bsky.social #booksky

What a strange and wonderful book. @pipadam.bsky.social @coffeehousepress.bsky.social #booksky

I’ll be starting these beauties this week. @andotherstories.bsky.social @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

Check out this find! @ndbooks.bsky.social

Finished this week…and some great books on tap for next week. Loving rainy days. ❤️📚

Best reread of the year! …and I’ve got Diamond Stuff on order. Life is good. @graywolfpress.bsky.social @waidner.bsky.social

I just finished this terrific collection. These stories take me back to the many places I’ve lived all over the South. I loved spending time with these characters. Fave story: “The Happy Land.” Thanks for the ARC, @tinhouse.bsky.social ❤️❤️

My first book by Matthias Énard. I loved how the two stories paced around one another without engaging patly. I’ve already got Zone on order. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social

Oh, excited to start this one, too! @coffeehousepress.bsky.social

Books I’ll start this week. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @liveright.bsky.social

Finished this week. Thoroughly enjoyed both, especially the twisty Natalja’s Stories - the latest in my New Directions subscription. @ndbooks.bsky.social

Books I’m starting this week. ❤️ @tinhouse.bsky.social @ndbooks.bsky.social @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @dseuss.bsky.social @waidner.bsky.social @coffeehousepress.bsky.social @graywolfpress.bsky.social

Finished this week. Flower and Barley Patch were good, but resisted my affection. Companion Piece, like all of Ali Smith's books, was easy to love. McNally's plays managed to get me as fired up as they did back in the 1990s. @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @andotherstories.bsky.social
