Correction: not historical fiction. Thankfully. But still very good

Novellas count as books! If I may recommend one: Even Though I Knew The End, C L Polk. :)

You can do it!

Strange Houses, by Uketsu (book cover)

Strange Houses, by Uketsu (book cover)

Uketsu slaps (good job Jim Rion, on the translation!). I liked Strange Pictures even more; both are a delight if you want to toss your brain around. If these great covers have been teasing you - yeah, they are worth picking up. <3

I just preordered Strange Buildings, out March 3rd! #books #booksky

Joined Libro.fmโ€˜s audiobook challenge for July - making good progress so far.

I admit I am a newer enjoyer of this media format vs rabid consumption of the eyeball-media type (print/ebook) - whatโ€˜s your favorite way to enjoy an audiobook? ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™blog.libro.fm/heat/

Itโ€™s on Libro.fm as well, in case youโ€™re looking for audiobooks that support local indie bookshops. :)

Understandable, but your writing speaks for itself. Itโ€™s eloquent and witty, sneakily insightful and deep, soโ€ฆ thatโ€™s what I say when I recommend you to people.

Best of all worlds, by Kenneth Oppel

Best of all worlds, by Kenneth Oppel

This book is fresh out today and it was a very interesting Bradbury-like read. I read it its ARC to see what the hype was about and yeah, I get it.

I feel like itโ€™s going to be a book to hit high school required reading lists someday. Captures a lot about our current moment. A lot of the dread. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

What if a gelatinous cube was also a mimic and also kinda loved you a bit, like so much she wants to store eggs in your lady curves? Yeah. Itโ€™s surprisingly sweet and funny for as scream-inducing the plot is. Reminds me of Alien Clay: I loved it & winced

Apparently the audio is great; I read a physical book this time. I hope you enjoy it when you get there!

I did not know what I was getting into here. Itโ€™s gritty magic and rather dark (and my book group was icked out) BUT I enjoyed it and the ladiesโ€™ relationship. I am looking forward to the next one - itโ€™s a series!

This YA horror novel thrashed me. Itโ€™s a fabulous, sensitive work with two trans characters, one with autism. I loved that the author wrote the reader a caution letter to start. Itโ€™s grim in there, but also GREAT.

I definitely ran out and hunted candidates for the Wonder as soon as humanly possible. Itโ€™s definitely about the apple :D

Let Them Stare by Jonathan Van Ness and Julie Murphy. Narrated by Van Ness and Jeremy Arthur. Brought to me by the excellent employee-owned & profit-sharing (with indie bookstores) company Libro.fm. Cannot recommend them more.

Narrated & co-written by Queer Eye star Van Ness, this book is hilarious, empowering and will give you life. Do it. Fall for the haunted vintage handbag and our delightful non-binary protag. You will only have a good time.

Is this the UK cover? I like it so much more than the version I bought (and hugely enjoyed) in the U.S.

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š so I donโ€™t know if there are awards for incredible work and artistry on a particular bookโ€™s binding/printing but there should be and I want to know about it

The sweater is fuzzy!! (Also this book is wonderful if you have not read it)

I work as a bookseller and we got our copies in a few days early. Having to wait to sell it was torture. lol

Small town stories: driving downtown, behind a school bus and an SUV. Some wee kids in the back of the bus were waving their arms excitedly to the SUV in front of me, begging for honks.

When the light turned the SUV tooted a bunch of short beeps and the school bus became 40 happy tiny jazz hands โ˜€๏ธ

An ARC called The Dilemmas of Working Women, a bestseller in Japan, new to English readers this August. Itโ€™s deeply semi-comfortably (?) relatable; I totally get why it won the Naoki Prize. Plus they are short stories, which I think is super nice to slot in between other works. :)

Heck yes, sing it, friend. It is so astonishingly fantastic and the art is incredible. I think about it every time someone tells me about a novelโ€™s drawn magic system and somehow they havenโ€™t discovered this manga.
