Ann Bauer Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@ElleMandell @MmeBlackBalloon @davidemccune Dennis Lehane is marvelous (though predictable). Old school: Graham Greene! I'm afraid I know nothing about the current Gillian Flynn sort of mystery - Gone Girl was readable but after that I was done.

For everyone who asked me for book recommendations, after my screed abt Midnight Library -- I can't believe I forgot.... THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY. Lovely, compassionate, hopeful. It's a story about story. Wholesome but real. Every character is a hero. Loved💘 https://t.co/DHgShydPH4

@traceyjayj Truman Capote, A Christmas Memory

@MoMoPerry It did remind me of that Tom Perrotta novel, Little Children.

After several adult women told me "The Midnight Library" was their fav book, I picked it up. I'm so underwhelmed. It's plodding, saccharine and simplistic - a single theme, repeated over and over for emphasis, written in the style of YA. Here's a rave.??? https://t.co/CasXoSZFxn

@meghan_daum I just read this, upon waking, in one big swallow. Yes, this is exactly what I meant! Thank you. Why doesn't anyone write pieces like this any more? For that matter @meghan_daum - one of the last book of essays I remember buying and loving was YOURS. https://t.co/iIsVZmSfcm

Am I to understand that Junot Díaz, author of one of the most powerful, vibrant short stories I've ever read ("This Is How You Lose Her" - run, don't walk, to check it out) was cancelled and his career destroyed because of a kiss on the cheek?? https://t.co/6mKQQLsXcU

@CorradoStar Those feel charming and wholesome compared to today's constant barrage. (Much as I LOATHE Howard Stern in 2023, Private Parts was a sweet movie)
