Thief of Time
Terry Pratchett
@JadeLHarding It’s from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld (the last “Death” book — “Thief of Time!” Basically there are beings that are not alive- they just make sure gravity works and things follow a logical process. So they hate all life for it’s unpredictability (and humans are worst of all!)

Good Night Pittsburgh
Mark Jasper
Hope's current "READ ME THIS AND ONLY THIS" choice is "Goodnight Pittsburgh." I've read it 50 times at least since Friday But I love this page because grammatically, the narrator suggests that the birdwatchers are beautiful too! #reading #parenting https://t.co/9LkGUyZ4Ia

Gift of Silence
Alfred Smith
Okay it’s kinda flattering when your kiddo brings you your own book and says “Read stories daddy?” If you would like to share her fine taste in literature, you can pick up a copy of my novelette “Gift of Silence” from @WaterDragonPub (link in pinned tweet!) https://t.co/vbjqKOsu26

Manifold: Time
Stephen Baxter
@kiraIeigh True!!! But when I think of “hard” stuff, the books that come mind are the Stephen Baxter Manifold books, which dive deeeeeep into theoretical physics. I read them in high school and couldn’t follow the science (which was apparently “real”) So those are always apart for me.
