Melissa Marr Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Melissa Marr

Head of the local group made the mistake of asking about books. I have already sent several book club recommendations. What about this shiny new awesome release (Lavender House)? What about this award winning book by Malinda Lo (Telegraph Club)? Would you like MORE suggestions?

More on the Already Read List: The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics (O Waite). Delilah Green (AH Blake). Something to Talk About (M Wilsner). When Katie met Cassidy (C Perri). I'm trying to think of more already-read titles, but it's late.

A reader chastised me for not sharing book releases more often. So... a thread on what I'm doing in the bookish world. 1. The Hexed & The Hunted (book 3 of 3) releases next week. This is adult fantasy with draugr, a witch main character, & a faery love interest. https://t.co/jnXtbz69BE

Career high—I received my author copies (pictured) of the @dollyslibrary edition of my WILD HORSES. My childhood hero, @DollyParton, has HER photo in my book (!!!). Reader, I am tearful at this. Because if her kids will get FREE copies of my book. https://t.co/0eTV5lqor1

Hi I'm Melissa. My debut novel (Wicked Lovely) was a "steamy faery story [that] reads like a torrid girl’s fantasy." My 2nd book is a "meandering, cluttered book." My 3rd "is a few hundred pages of mediocrity [that] it will fly off library and bookstore shelves." (ALL Kirkus). https://t.co/qI7p5zwZrL

This book is SO GOOD. I cried when I was asked to do the CE, though, bc I miss R...but I love her and adore Carrie so I wiped my tears and opened the file. Trapper Road is riveting, true to @rachelcaine's voice & style. Carrie did a brilliant job finishing this book. https://t.co/XGJLX3TFyF

Currently reading Grave Reservations by Cherie Priest, & I am enthralled. It's paranormal mystery/cozy, I think, but I am never great at genre labels. What I DO know, is that it's a great read.

I adored this book when I first found it. Still do, in fact. P Barber's Vampires, Burial, and Death: Folklore and Reality is excellent reading, too. https://t.co/whFJRALvgZ

@MargueriteCroft Now I have to check if my copy is the older one... I bought it, House Made of Sky, & Ceremony (Leslie Marmon Silko) in 1992. A wise prof back then said "American Literature fails if it doesn't start w Native American & Black American Lit." I still think that was brilliant.

@NaturallyCasey I love her work. My favourites are this one, The First Fossil Hunters, AND her newest release Flying Snakes and Griffin Claws, and Other Classical Myths, Historical Oddities, and Scientific Curiosities (July 2022). https://t.co/7TKfgkOjFn
