Tore through "Give Me Your Hand" by @meganeabbott. Because of course I did, that's how reading her books works😀 She's got me again but, boy, did I enjoy it!

I finished "Children of Blood and Bone" by @tomi_adeyemi and a) clearly, I have to read the next book in the series because did they bring magic back?! I must know. And b) yeah, this movie is going to be awesome, I will be there☝️ #readingforpleasure #Ireadtwobooksthisweek

"My Year of Rest and Relaxation" by Ottessa Moshfegh is one of the most interesting and weird books I've ever read and I mean that as the highest compliment. I'm obsessed with this writer, how have I been sleeping on this novel for years?! The hype is real. #readingforpleasure

I had to read the internet to figure out "Asymmetry" by Lisa Halliday but I'm glad I did because I actually picked up the subtle hint about the structure... I really did! Anyways, Obama put it on his fave list for 2018 and his book taste is ON POINT so check it out #readinglist https://t.co/hYMQxeLBLz

The first book of 2023 is "Flights" by Olga Tokarczuk. It was weird but I mean that in the best possible way - a lot of loosely connected stories, a lot of ruminations on traveling and identity. Man Booker Prize makes sense ☝️#reading #readingforpleasure #ReadingChallenge2023

Tommy and Tuppence are - and continue to be! - my favorite detectives in the Agatha Christie-verse. "By the Pricking of my Thumbs" is great and has been turned into some kind of miniseries with Miss Marple added in so... Happy Passover to me I guess! #readingforpleasure #reading

Book #30 of 2023 is "The Friend" by Sigrid Nunez. It was so interesting - there's like a crazy but subtle twist towards the end that's amazing - and I really enjoyed it! Highly rec☝️ #readinglist #readingforpleasure #Ireadtwobooksthisweek

If you live in LA and/or love libraries, you will greatly enjoy "The Library Book" by Susan Orlean. I've never been to the Central Library in DTLA but now I gotta go! #readingforpleasure #readinglist #Ireadabookaweek #readingcommunity

"Bunny" by Mona Awad is very good, Bunny. Very fucked up, strange, and disturbing -- but it's good, Bunny, promise! 🪓🐰💥 #readingforpleasure #readinglist #readingcommunity #Ireadtwobookslastweek
