Excellent. Even much before Jubilee, I've been fascinated by the story of Bombay Talkies—especially its pivotal transcontinental collaborations (ft. Franz Osten, Joseph Wirsching, Karl von Spreti, Len Hartley, etc)—and I'm looking forward to learn more from this book. https://t.co/pskl9mLlTR

The above passage comes from her remarkably insightful book, Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch – Let Verbs Power Your Writing. It's excellent; I can't recommend it enough. https://t.co/O0dy7Rxyw7

Whenever I need some writing/editing inspiration (and today happens to be such a day), I read this chapter—just one page—from Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See. https://t.co/SLejrAsT8v

Very intriguing indeed. It reminded me of a book I read last year that absolutely blew me away: Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts. https://t.co/IJ9xqn2lLe https://t.co/vIKBtPMz6J

lol, my latest fave is "nonfiction novel" while referring to narrative nonfiction. A lot of people saying that perhaps don't know they're quoting Truman Capote (who, drowning in overconfidence, called In Cold Blood that). Made sense because he made things up. https://t.co/dYz4Hjpj6X

@writerly_life The one I've in mind is not a book of essays but a memoir: H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. Cuts deep.

Rest in peace, Barbara Ehrenreich. Your life was marked by a stunning range of scholarship, but your 2001 trailblazing book, Nickel and Dimed, paved a new way to write and report on the working-class people. You've been an absolute legend and a huge inspiration. Thank you.
