Alex London Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@miriamjayne Hey Kiddo by @StudioJJK Anything Tillie Walden has done. I loved On a Sunbeam Legend of Brightblade by @EthanMAldridge Monstress by @marjoriemliu and the utterly epic, long running Saga by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples

Finished IN MEMORIAM by Alice Winn. Wow. A brutal, beautiful book that I could not put down. So much I could say about why I loved it, but for now, just that the central romance is a refreshingly far cry from the “mashing Ken Dolls together” we so often get in popular m|m stories

@melissa_marr @jcharbonneau Okay, off the top of my head, for dark creepy/horror there’s The Blade Between by Sam Miller, realistic there’s the recent (and wonderful and Pulitzer winning) Less by Andrew Sean Greer, obviously the classic Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin

Out of stock

@whtabtpineapple My anti-capitalist cyberpunk novel PROXY has been pretty popular with choosy teen reader boys, but barring self-promo, seconding @KyleLukoff's recommendation of Cory Doctorow's LITTLE BROTHER

@KidlitKat The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch is amazing

Thanks to the rest forced on me this morning, I’ve finished “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin. This book is wonderful. Work & life & creativity & friendship & family & gaming & grief & love and how those are kind of all synonyms https://t.co/v2MXBOhi7h

Rereading Station Eleven by @EmilyMandel and it’s just as astonishing as the first time I read it. Survival is insufficient…but I love the way it explores how insistently possible life is.
