Leny 🐀 Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@QueerwolfArden @LilySimpson1312 I think it’s the “incredibly famous” that makes it $2. In terms of “household name fame” I’m not sure that, say, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Faith Hunter, Laurel K Hamilton, Mercedes Lackey, or Elizabeth Bear quite reach that level. And they’re all fairly famous.

Incredible. I’ve only read These Violent Delights but, oh boy, will I ever be reading more. Chloe Gong for everything. Thank you, more please. https://t.co/LFgSC0bs8c

I’m just not a Gaiman fan. I’ve tried to be. I even tried to enjoy Good Omens, which he co-wrote with one of my favourite authors from my childhood (Terry Pratchett), and it’s one of the few Pratchett books I haven’t enjoyed that much. Not a hater. Just… meh. Not interested. https://t.co/6dEy8tjigi

The First Wives Club (the book was good! The movie is also just incredible!) The Silence of the Lambs (no offence to Thomas Harris fans but this man has atrocious prose) It (any adaptation of a book with a child orgy in it that omits the orgy is a better adaptation. Sorry).

You know, when one reviewer reported back that they’d vomited while reading Gina Wohlsdorf’s Security, I thought “no, a book can’t make you literally vomit.” But today I nearly threw up straight into my mask while reading HG Bells’ Sleep Over: An Oral History of the Apocalypse.

Out of stock

If this is news, I strongly recommend reading some bell hooks. Kimberlé Crenshaw. Or books like “They Were Her Property” by Stephanie Jones-Rogers.

Have only read The Hate U Give so far and it blew me away. I don’t read much YA these days, but for Angie Thomas, I’ll keep reading some. https://t.co/jfjzSOB0vv

Have only read the Color Purple and have been meaning to read more. I think Alice Walker is tremendous. She’s also not wildly high on my to-read. I’m just not as keen on literary fiction these days as I used to be—she used to be much higher on my “up next” https://t.co/A5QgGjzJPR

@RoeGraceM The movie “Blonde” that just came out is based on a Joyce Carol Oates book. Some of her short stories are commonly taught in schools. I’m constantly shocked that her publishers haven’t worked to stop her from tweeting. She’s had a fairly well regarded literary career.
