Jonathan Fiedler Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Jonathan Fiedler

Fiction lovers: pre-order @rebeccamakkai's I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, coming 2/21/23, preferably from your local indie or @Bookshop_Org. It's a page-turning & emotional story, masterfully told. Thanks for the egalley @riverheadbooks. I'll still be buying my own print copy!

@svershbow Have you read THE SWIMMERS by Julie Otsuka or CHORUS by Rebecca Kauffman or VERY COLD PEOPLE by Sarah Manguso? All were excellent and memorable one-day reads for this not very fast reader. And all are 2022 books, if that matters!

Yay! @MaggieShipstead was on @MorningEdition talking about GREAT CIRCLE. I was fortunate to read this sweeping, beautiful novel as an electronic ARC. I don't reread often, but I'll reread this one in print. I lost something reading in e. You'll be hearing about this one. @AAKnopf

@jde2022 @mervatim Julie Otsuka!!!!, any of her three, but probably THE BUDDHA IN THE ATTIC.

@chrismpadgett @matthaig1 Kent Haruf is a writer who I need to remember to read more of. I've only read OUR SOULS AT NIGHT

@TheBookMaven I'm not sure any of these would live up to my memory of them on a 2nd reading, but a few books I've read, remembered & heard few other talk about: A Marker to Measure Drift by @AlexanderMaksik; The Right-Hand Shore by Christopher Tilghman; Remember Sophie Wilder by @chrisbeha

@svershbow @annie_hartnett @kamilashamsie @RuthWareWriter @ayadakhtar @DeliaEphron @MaggieShipstead @Egangoonsquad Indeed. Before you and Annie. 2002. But my dive into publishing wasn't until 2012. Unlikely Animals and Home Fire in that stack definitely made me go "hmm," even before Annie piped up. :) Great Circle is a real treat. I still need to read my signed copy of Unlikely Animals!

@KirkusReviews Happy New Year! Clicking on the review for CLOUDMAKER by Malcolm Brooks, yields a 1963 book by the same name! https://www.kirkusreviews.com/author/malcolm-brooks/ @lauriemuchnick Hoping to check out the real review next week.

I look forward to returning to an e-galley of THE QUIET ZONE by @StephenKurczy later and have a copy of MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS by @JoshuaHenkin to pick up from @TerraceBooks! https://t.co/0FKiC0dJ3D
