The Murderbot Diaries: All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, Exit Strategy

Martha Wells

It’s so good. It’s like do you ever have an experience where you fall in love with the voice of a narrator on page one? … Murderbot is probably my favorite science fiction series, one of my favorites for sure ever. It’s very funny.

On further review, I probably should have gotten the name of Alice Wong's book right!! Her excellent memoir is Year of the Tiger and it is a banger. Just out last week from @VintageAnchor. I loved it. Thanks @sfdirewolf for your all-around awesomeness!

Forever...

Judy Blume

A copy of Forever was passed around my entire seventh grade (I may or may not have kept it). I read and re-read everything by her. *And* Judy Blume is as awesome as you'd hoped she was (and is)! Great, great piece on Blume starting to get her due from Hollywood, finally: https://t.co/ENy6lKcvZu

@Allison_Tolman I have found the writing & a lot of the exercises in Kristin Neff book Self-Compassion very helpful (Loving What Is by Byron Katie also has useful questions I use to calm myself). Got into Neff book via tweets from @chescaleigh & sending overdue gratitude for the recommendation!
