Why is some small part of my brain always thinking about REBECCA by Daphne du Maurier? Literally always. Can she stop…haunting me?

1. THE PRINCESS BRIDE by William Goldman This "classic tale of true love and high adventure" follows Princess Buttercup as she escapes a dastardly prince with her beloved. Like the movie, it is hilariously satirical. Lots of fencing and miracle working. https://t.co/Mm57zxr0T7

When I say my reading taste is all over the place, I mean this week I read FUN HOME by Alison Bechdel, finished A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama, started THE CATCHER IN THE RYE by J. D. Salinger, and started THE HATING GAME by Sally Thorne.

3. HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE by Diana Wynne Jones This is the coziest fantasy you'll ever read. It follows a hatter named Sophie who enlists the heartless wizard Howl to help her break a curse. There are flowers and a fire demon and Howl is the blueprint. https://t.co/qtEVlz46hz

@Dewiwrites You NEED to read Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It’s written all in the letters the characters send, and as their city’s alphabet disappears, the letters in their correspondence do too! It’s so well done.

@christykhealy I will! They’re how I’m clinging to sanity. I’m taking a break to read The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik, but I shall post when I start book 2.

9. LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE by Celeste Ng This one isn't fantasy, but Celeste Ng creates a whole world in this upscale community, where a house burns down and two woman start a legal war over a baby. The themes of race, class, and perfection are superb. https://t.co/BW0ZxISbRN

Well, this has been on my shelf since 2017, but I finally read THE ESSEX SERPENT by Sarah Perry! If you’re looking for gorgeously written gothic romance, I highly recommend this. (Also, is this not the most beautiful cover you’ve ever seen?!) https://t.co/AXOhmToQSI

10. A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN by Virginia Woolf This is the most inspirational essay I've ever read. In her signature "stream of consciousness" style, Woolf analyzes the diametrically opposed roles of women in literature and in history. A feminist staple. https://t.co/wGEi959iNf
