Once I started reading I couldn't put this devious, sharp, engrossing mystery down. I loved Her Many Faces. #bookreview

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi - The Gilmore Guide to Books Sometimes all you need in your reading is a raucous tale of adventure and fun and I found it in Shannon Chakraborty‘s novel, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi. Amina is a middle-aged woman, a mother, ...

I loved everything about this fantasy novel and can't wait for the sequel. My favorite kind of reading- fun and escapist. Thank you, @shannonchakraborty.bsky.social! #bookreview #gilmoreguidetobooks

The Next Day - The Gilmore Guide to Books Nonfiction has not been rewarding for me this year. My guess is the petulant part of my brain feels that it is already working too hard to process this country’s current reality and has no room for mo...

I loved this book from Melinda French Gates. The Next Day was exactly the reading I needed. #bookreview @flatironbooks.bsky.social

ME [coming back to therapy after a bunch of really bad things happened and it turned out all that anxiety we’ve been working on this whole time was really just intuition]: ah-HA!

THERAPIST: …

Maintain your sanity, friends. Maintain your joy and peace while you continue to put your back into the work that needs doing.

All the Water in the World - The Gilmore Guide to Books [book-info] The time has come. Thanks to climate change coastal cities are being abandoned for those further inland. In Manhattan, a small group of people has stayed behind, creating an encampment on ...

I thought this novel about a post-apocalyptic East Coast under water and the girl who has to navigate her way through this new world was really well done. Somber, gripping, but hopeful. #bookreview

The Last Days of Night - The Gilmore Guide to Books [book-info] It’s hard to imagine that an ordinary and ubiquitous household item could be the source of riveting fiction, but in The Last Days of Night it is. Author Graham Moore makes a new, young law...

Who knew historical fiction about the light bulb and electricity could be so riveting? I loved this novel about the battle between Edison and Westinghouse. #bookreview #booksky #historicalfiction

Oh damn! I'm deeply intrigued, but this sounds like it could be the kind of reading that lands me on the 10 o'clock news.

Give it time, they'll show up. Until then enjoy the quiet. With a cocktail, of course. 😉

No, but adore Kathy Bates and trust you so this is going on my list. p.s. Happy to have found you here friend.

Yes, of course! I'm strongly opposed to any change at all as you know, but am trying to adapt. Ha!

The Sequel by Jean Hanff Korelitz - The Gilmore Guide to Books [book-info] More devious, delicious, escape reading! The Sequel is just that, the sequel to Jean Hanff Korelitz’s novel The Plot. Anna Williams-Bonner is the widow of critically acclaimed author Jacob...

I'm always up for an unlikable unreliable narrator! Thank you, @jeanhanff.bsky.social for a messy, twisted ride- just what my reading needed.

Just saw CNN headline that Voyager 1 spacecraft has stopped communicants with Earth. Can you blame it?

Completely senile but somehow also devilishly crafty President Biden continues to destroy the US economy….
