Wretched Waterpark
Kiersten White
Wonderful horror for middle-grade readers (and, if I'm being honest, adults, too). My kid adored this, and still talks about it. (He also recently loved @kierstenwhite's WRETCHED WATERPARK and @AllyMalinenko's GHOST GIRL, if you dig his recs.) https://twitter.com/Lora013/status/1541751935530807296

Camp Scare
Delilah S. Dawson
My kiddo read both CAMP SCARE and THIS APPEARING HOUSE this last week (hell, one day he raced through 150 pages of Camp Scare) and loved the hell out of them, so this should be a good event, and go get some cool MG books, willya? https://t.co/uH9BOjetGv

All Hallows
Christopher Golden
Congrats to @ChristophGolden on ALL HALLOWS -- what to me felt like some classic old-school horror (with new-school sensibilities) that makes any day Halloween. (And while you're at it, grab ROAD OF BONES too, because you're a person of discerning taste.)

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
Eric Larocca
@BNBuzz @HachetteBooks As for re-reads -- I try to read McCammon's SWAN SONG every few years, and also two books that are fast becoming regular (short!) re-reads are Sara Gran's COME CLOSER and @hystericteeth's THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE.

An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us
Ed Yong
I’m reading Ed Yong’s newest, “An Immense World.” I’m a huge fan of his pandemic writing (in The Atlantic) and of his book about the human microbiome, “I Contain Multitudes.” He makes science writing fun to read.
