#TBR: @virginiahartmn on her debut #novel, THE MARSH QUEEN: "My gauge of success is when a reader is completely immersed in the dream of the story, without every wanting to come up for air" https://t.co/zhCI30dDyA @GalleryBooks @esjwilliamson

#TBR: Tara Lynn Masih's HOW WE DISAPPEAR, out from @Press53--"a transporting and compelling story collection of those taken, those missing, and those neither here nor gone--runaways, exiles, wanderers, ghosts, even the elusive Dame Agatha Christie." https://t.co/2sInMCh8a1

Congrats to @Susan_Coll on her fun new novel set in an indie bookstore (@PoliticsProse perhaps??), BOOKISH PEOPLE, which is "intentionally screwball, with a lot of manic action and zaniness." Out tomorrow. Sneak peek in this interview: http://workinprogressinprogress.com/2022/08/tbr-bookish-people-by-susan-coll.html… @Harpermusebooks

@TheBookMaven COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER by Darryl Pinckney. I love books about NYC writer cliques!

@TheBookMaven I need HAPPY-GO-LUCKY by David Sedaris right now.

@MAChristophorou You might like the underappreciated Beryl Bainbridge THE BIRTHDAY BOYS or MASTER GEORGIE. Also maybe Pat Barker, the Regeneration Trilogy about WWI.

@miciahbay My definition of "charm" is EARLY MORNING RISER by Katherine Heiny. Or Nancy Mitford, THE PURSUIT OF LOVE/LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE. Or Winnie-the-Pooh (books, not the movie). Or STUART LITTLE.
