I loved There are Rivers in the sky! Hope you enjoy it too.

Trust, very unique structure

Agree, very interesting take on the vampire trope.

Graphic for PEN America report titled 'Banned in the USA: The Normalization of Book Bans'. Features a stack of colorful books in front of a blackboard with '22,810 books banned in U.S. public schools, 2021-2025' written in chalk.

🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country.

Preparing to lead 2 book club discussions on this wonderful debut short story collection. Well worth the read! 💙📚 📚🖋️

Such a great podcast! ❤️ Evison, read his books!!!!! Something special happened up in the Pacific Northwest in the 80’s & 90’s.

Just finished There Is Rio Grande in Heaven and it is a fabulous short story.

So good!

The TBR list gets longer 🤣

And it’s a great read too!!!!!! Highly recommend.

There is also going to be a ton of extra pub action around this so keep an eye out!!! Hopefully it will be a big deal!! 🎉

Love to hear what you think about this one!

I loved it too!!

3. The Narrative style is unique but once you adjust it is propulsive. Ultimately this is a book about madness, all its forms, & what gives birth to it.

The Shining meets Gilligan’s Island.

For those who wanted Wild Dark Shore to be wilder & darker. 🤣

2. She is stranded along with a few others on a remote island where ghosts abide & white obliterates everything. Forced into survival mode everyone’s sanity is tested & as past deeds surface there will be reckoning.

1. Quan Barry’s The Unveiling which comes out in Oct. (Spooky Read!)
Who’s up for some Antarctic Horror? (It’s a sub genre I wasn’t even aware of!) A black film scout is on a trip to photograph potential locations for a big-budget movie when everything goes wrong!

# 26. Duel timeline readers will enjoy this one!

Good news in a rather bleak week!

Mohawk Skywalkers: The History Stephen Miller Whitewashed The Kanien'kéhá:ka Haudenosaunee ironworkers were vital to building Miller's favorite monuments to modern America

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Such a great cover too!!!

It was one thing to see them in the summer catalog but a whole other thing to unpack them from a box. They are the best covers in the bookstore right now!! Brilliant covers for brilliant books!

Just downloaded myself! 🙂📚💙

And # 23 for the year, on track for my 40 books per year!

2) An exploration of race, class, mental health, the publishing industry, & gun violence in America. At turns wildly funny, this book proves to be a gut punch of truth amid all the noise. Amazing Book!

1) Mott’s follow up to “He’ll of A Book”, which I cannot recommend more, is a bold continuation of an Author’s search for meaning & belonging.
