I wish I'd read this book when I was a teen--I think it may have helped me understand what I was going through more than The Bell Jar did. Love this piece by @lequincampe https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2022/05/i-never-promised-you-a-rose-garden-review/629941/

Book releases this week include!! @LyndsayFaye's "smart and suspenseful" Hamlet retelling THE KING OF INFINITE SPACE; @yz_chin's "subtly provocative" tech world novel EDGE CASE; & MRS. MARCH, which has intense Shirley Jackson vibes https://angelalashbrook.medium.com/new-book-releases-august-10-2021-3ff4badcc59e

In the midst of a home renovation nightmare, I was saved by Leigh Bardugo's Hell Bent and I am not sure how I'm gonna get through the next, like, 8 weeks now that I'm done

@blgtylr Alfonso, Lucrezia de Medici's husband in The Marriage Portrait! Chilling character. And Ansel Packer in Danya Kukafka's Notes on an Execution--that's honestly an incredible portrayal of a villain

I reviewed Gabrielle Zevin's outstanding novel "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow," which is about as close to perfect as it's possible for a book to be https://t.co/liuaddkyW4

@JoshSeybert ok so for a book about work with a surreal/fantastical element and a strong voice a la Temporary: GOLD DIGGERS by Sanjena Sathian. I'd also recommend PIRANESI by Susanna Clarke for a gentle, mind-bending, beautiful novel.
