@ShamblesAndFuss Ooh okay. I think you’d very much like Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens. Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda isn’t escapism but is excellent and easy to read. Also Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow if you haven’t got to it yet!

@LisforLia Have you read Little Deaths by Emma Flint? More of a slow burn thriller but it is SO good and I read the whole thing in one evening.

@alicemjslater If Curtis Sittenfeld can write Rodham, then I do not see why TJR cannot do this.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be speaking with Gabrielle Zevin at @WaterstonesPicc on 20th July about the astoundingly good Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Come along and see what @vintagebooks have got planned for the installation..! https://t.co/VqZFDHA3CZ

I was just tagged in a two star review of Tilly and the Lost Fairy Tales with a trigger warning for animal death because the Big Bad Wolf dies when they bookwander into Little Red Riding Hood...

@exitthelemming I have everything apart from an animal companion in my books, if you’ll excuse the self promotion, but if an animal is a dealbreaker then Fireborn by Aisling Fowler might be a good fit!

@elnorry_writer One of my all time favourites is What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi which just about fits this theme. Also loved An Unrestored Woman by Shobha Rao. And A Visit from the Goon Squad is either v linked short stories or a v disparate novel & is excellent either way!

@rochdowdenlordy I am sorry if we talked about this and I forgot but Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood. Also Educated by Tara Westover maybe. And you’ve read Transcendent Kingdom judging by the other tweet?
