If you're heading to your local bookstore over the weekend, here are a few books that I loved this year: 1) Around The World In 80 Trees by Jonathan Drori I learned so much from this book about the natural & human history of trees. And it is BEAUTIFUL. https://bookshop.org/books/around-the-world-in-80-trees/9781786276063 https://t.co/eVtmvHeZx5

@superkash Lots of great recommendations already. I can't recommend Squirrel Girl enough. The original run of Ms. Marvel is excellent. N.K. Jemisin's Far Sector was incredible: https://t.co/7kRIUH6MuQ

When I was starting to write Living in Data I did #1000wordsofsummer. I worked on a novel and not the book I was under deadline for but it was exactly what I needed to build up my strength and stamina. Will you join me this year? https://t.co/jWRjgmItVr
