A great day for these two: COUNTERFEIT by @kirstin_chen was chosen as the June @ReesesBookClub pick, and MORE THAN YOU’LL KNOW by @katie_gutz was chosen as the June @GMA pick. And lucky me, I have the pleasure of talking to them both on Thursday, June 9th at 7pm!✨(Link in bio.) https://t.co/MjReQRj0ph

Evening reading. My heart broke a little just opening the package, and I’m already crying reading the introduction by Emma Thompson. I loved him so. Thank you to @henryholtbooks for sending this along. β€οΈπŸ’”

When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era

Donovan X. Ramsey
Liberty Hardy πŸ“–Liberty Hardy πŸ“–

In this must-read work, Ramsey dissects the crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Partially fueled by politics and racism, its prevalence in the news drove racially motivated arrests. This is an examination of those years told through the eyes of four people who experienced it.

The Warm Hands of Ghosts

Katherine Arden
Liberty Hardy πŸ“–Liberty Hardy πŸ“–

This is (Katherine Arden's) best book to date... It’s one of the most harrowing works about war written in the last decade: its speculative plot line captures the classism, devastation, and futility of war.

Are you going to be at NYCC? I am moderating two panels this year! The first is a conversation between legends R.L. Stine and James Howe. Goosebumps *and* Bunnicula??! I happy-cried when they asked me. https://t.co/pBTQ9ZuE4p

No One Will Come Back For Us

Premee Mohamed
Liberty Hardy πŸ“–Liberty Hardy πŸ“–

This is a debut collection of cosmic horror! Mohamed has invented new gods and called to the old ones, summoned beasts, monsters, and other horrifying creatures, and just generally supplied readers with a frightening time that is (sometimes literally) out of this world.

In what sounds like the most horrifying buddy comedy of the year, a toothy mermaid and a plague doctor team up to visit a town inhabited by ageless children... Khaw is one of the best young horror writers today, and this one is another creepy stunner!
