The Intimacy Experiment
Rosie Danan
Took a lazy-ish afternoon to finish reading @almakatsu's spy thriller Red Widow outside in the sun -- SO SATISFYING! -- and have now ordered curbside and am about to start @rosiedanan's The Intimacy Experiment (out today!). Good books are good.

Scandalized
Ivy Owens
@emteehall The solo title by one half of Christina Lauren Ivy Owens’ Scandalized is pure serotonin. See also Katherine Center’s The Bodyguard. And Mia Sosa’s books! I know I will immediately think of more.

Book Lovers
Emily Henry
Re: @GennHutchison’s point about praise in notes earlier, from Emily Henry’s Book Lovers, an agent and editor’s back and forth — and it’s so true. Never assume we know what’s working! https://t.co/19ZUn3N0mv

Light from Uncommon Stars
Ryka Aoki
Recommendations: I just read and adored Dead Collections by Isaac Fellman (vampire curator, romance, smart AF) and I won’t shut up about Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki (violins, deals with Hell, love of many types and donuts). https://twitter.com/jeremycshipp/status/1500559891588521985

The Book of Lamps and Banners
Elizabeth Hand
Spent this week reading @Liz_Hand’s latest Cass Neary book, The Book of Lamps and Banners, which was just the dark fever dream of a mystery I needed to disappear into. I love this series. (h/t to @lexpublib which is always my sudden mood book enabler!) https://t.co/ucmvXbVRpN

Beach Read
Emily Henry
We did @LexWritersRoom book club tonight in which @LisaHaneberg read her FIRST (!!! so exciting) romance novel, Emily Henry's Beach Read (counter programming for the season), and ended with a thirty second dance party. @ChristopherRowe pronounced it "the best book club ever." https://t.co/ccTnm22k5e
