Tapping the Source
Kem Nunn
Thank you! Tapping the Source was a game changer for me when it first came out. My template for Generation Loss. I've lost track of how many times I've read TTS, most recently last year. RT @patrickmcoleman: Very stoked to know you (whose books I adore) also love Kem Nunn.

Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object
Laurie Colwin
Two by Laurie Colwin: Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object, and Happy All the Time. I reread them at least once a year, ideally when it's raining gently. https://t.co/vBivs2gW1F

Jane Pek
Thanks so much! RT @1stClueReviews: An interview with Jane Pek on her new book The Verifiers plus reviews of forthcoming books by @ZacBissonnette, @jclarkab, @Liz_Hand, and @BrianKlingborg. And a big mistake by me...you'll see... https://t.co/0TShwIVu9t

Lisa Levy @RealLiveCritic of @CrimeReads said that "I would follow Elizabeth Hand anywhere" — but what about into the forest off Hokuloa Road (pictured below)? https://t.co/TTzdVZYFgS https://t.co/ViNjeoW1dC

The Book of Lamps and Banners
Elizabeth Hand
Cass will still respect you if you take psychedelics. RT @timpratt: Reading The Book of Lamps and Banners by @Liz_Hand and it is great and makes me want to visit tiny cluttered used bookshops (and also drink heavily and take amphetamines)

Sin Eater
Megan Campisi
I loved this book! (As you can see from my review.) RT @BookWorld: NOW IN PAPERBACK "Sin Eater" by Megan Campisi. Set in an alternate Tudor England, her wonderful debut novel is a riveting depiction of hard-won female empowerment @AtriaBooks @Liz_Hand https://t.co/iQneFNHFi8

The Fall of NĂşmenor: And Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-Earth
J. R. R. Tolkien
A trove of source material about one of Middle-earth’s most intriguing and central backstories ... the book is a handy addendum for any Tolkien completist and also a neat introduction for those whose sole knowledge of the doomed island comes from “The Rings of Power.”

Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music
Rob Young
@laquiglette Thanks, Lisa — I love that music too. Have you read "Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music," by Rob Young? Great book on UK folk music, from the late 1800s on, with a long journey through the 1970s.

The Book of the Most Precious Substance
Sara Gran
Just finished reading Sara Gran & @dreamland108's The Book of the Most Precious Substance — sexy bibliophilia in the purest sense of the word & also unexpectedly poignant. I loved it.
