All my loved ones have bizarrely started spontaneously reciting this weird nursery rhyme lately. Should I be worried? It goes: "All work and no play / makes Jack a dull boy."

I'll start my own celebration by rec'ing THE EIGHTH LIFE (FOR BRILKA), by Georgian-German novelist Nino Haratischvili, translated from the German by Charlotte Collins & Ruth Martin. An 1100-page epic about the Georgian 20th century--I really enjoyed. #womenintranslation https://t.co/JcXHFhMhA3

The Westing Game (Puffin Modern Classics)

Ellen Raskin

Love Crumley; happy to be associated with evangelizing him. Credit due there to my hubs, @PaulDOliver (who introduced me). Dwyer, per your Q: my revelatory writer was Ellen Raskin (cf THE WESTING GAME). Read as a kid (100x) but scale-removing when I reread as an adult. https://t.co/f7TegydsJr

A Venetian Island: Environment, History and Change in Burano

Lidia D. Sciama
Juliet GramesJuliet Grames

But as much as Venice is a world apart from Italy, Burano is a world apart from Venice. It has existed on the painful margins since the 6th century, its history under-recorded. For the curious, I highly recommend Lidia Sciama's A VENETIAN ISLAND. #Venice1600 #Venezia1600 #Venezia
