#TBR: Mary Kay Zuravleff's AMERICAN ENDING, "a family saga set in the coal mines of #Appalachia in the early 1900s. The challenges facing immigrants & the fragility of citizenship are as unsettling & surprising today as they were 100 years ago." https://t.co/ndrz4Dn0nH

@emilyemitchell Stories from the Tenants Downstairs by Sidik Fofana, set about people in a building in Harlem. Haven't read this, but I believe Nobel winner Naguib Mahfouz has a collection of stories set in a neighborhood in Cairo.

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

@jacib Oh my...more heartbreaking than Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" and "The Fir Tree" put together!!!

@TheBookMaven #FridayReads WE WISH YOU LUCK by Caroline Zancan...an intense journey deep into life in a low-res MFA program

Out of stock

Or, um, of writing one of these! But to sound less self-absorbed, here are 2 of my favorite "ancient," forgotten books that the world would love now: GANADO RED by Susan Lowell and THE ICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD by Mark Richard, both collections of short stories. https://t.co/Q4xBys6YnS

@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.
