Erica Wright Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

My #FridayReads is LEONARD AND HUNGRY PAUL, recommended by both @TheBookMaven and @ECLamb, so you know it's good. The gentlest book I've read in ages. https://t.co/X4rXgY9GVk

Out of stock

As a fifth grader at Cascade Elementary School in Bedford County, Tennessee, the school librarian noticed that I liked to make up gothic little stories with ghosts and witches and mythological beasts. She put WAIT TILL HELEN COMES by Mary Downing Hahn in my hands. 1/3

Oops, I had my Goodreads organized by date added. I read 22 books (not bad for a toddler parent!), and Leonard and Hungry Paul by Ronan Hession, What Happened to Paula by Katherine Dykstra, and The Trespasser by Tana French were all FANTASTIC.

I recently read @matthaig1's (lovely) novel THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, so I've been thinking about this a lot. I'd say moving to NYC. I could have avoided panic attacks and a generalized anxiety disorder, but I might not have found poetry. https://t.co/lNiOpoSg55

Finished @alex_segura’s SECRET IDENTITY last night, and it’s terrific. I love how the two narratives—one in the comic book industry, one in murder—blend together. https://t.co/24DDSu1n1y

@TheBookMaven I was in the mood for some Tana French, so I started The Searcher last night. #FridayReads

James Patterson's comments remind me of the actual sexist things that have been said to me at crime writing conferences including that a woman private investigator isn't believable because all women want is to be grandmothers.

Jane Hirshfield writes about this beautifully in her essay collection TEN WINDOWS. (And I write about Hirshfield writing about it in my essay collection SNAKE.)

Rereading Merwin’s The Lice, one of my touchstones, and communing with baby poet Erica who highlighted only the sincerest of lines. https://t.co/z9D9XQ4AJZ
