On this week's @stillreadbooks podcast, I talk with the great @Steven_Hyden, whose new book, "This Isn't Happening," about Radiohead and "Kid A," is out today. Hyden is the best. (And Midwestern!) IOS: https://t.co/7p6DBvloSJ Spotify: https://t.co/1lh9WlNc5d Subscribe!

I much enjoyed @RJ_Young on @stillreadbooks about his smart, probing book "Let It Bang: A Young Black Man’s Reluctant Odyssey into Guns." He's also writing book about the Tulsa Race Massacre, but he's in midst of it so I won't stress him about it. Listen! https://t.co/SGtxjhzTYJ

THE TIME HAS COME Countdown: 19 Days Until Release. Blurbs! We were very fortunate to have lovely blurbs from two of my favorite writers: Kevin Wilson (NOTHING TO SEE HERE and NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC) and Jenny Jackson (PINEAPPLE STREET). Read their books! https://t.co/TUmngsdbjF

The new @kphipps3000 book AGE OF CAGE is out today, and it's terrific. It's about Nicolas Cage's career, but it's about more than that: It's essentially about the last 35 years of movies, how they've changed, how we have. I absolutely devoured this thing. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250773043/ageofcage

John's book, LIFE ON DELAY, is wonderful: Empathetic, warm, honest and inspiring. I cannot recommend it enough. It's out today: Buy it. (And listen to this podcast too, it's good.) https://t.co/rBoNv9fgvZ https://t.co/P5eHbZl7tk

This may seem like a strange thing coming from me but I swear that it's true: Buzz Bissinger's new book THE MOSQUITO BOWL is an absolutely incredible book, and you should all buy it. (Seriously. It's great.) https://t.co/TdlfLSk4Yp

My novel, THE TIME HAS COME, is coming out May 16. I am very proud of this book and really think people will enjoy it. Every day until launch day, I'll be counting down with news about the book. If you liked HOW LUCKY, I think you will like this even more. https://t.co/2YLygsBayu

Happy publication day to @TimGrierson, whose book THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A MOVIE is out today. It's precisely the book about film I wish I could have read 20 years ago. It's probably my favorite book of his. (And he has written a lot of them.) Buy it! https://www.amazon.com/This-How-You-Make-Movie/dp/1786275589

One shouldn't require much prodding to read a Dennis Lehane book, but nevertheless, you should absolutely read his incredible new novel SMALL MERCIES, out today.

This week's update: Richard Russo's blurb! Richard Russo is Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist of EMPIRE FALLS and NOBODY'S FOOL. He is, in my opinion, one of the best writers alive. I had no idea he was reading HOW LUCKY. I don't even know who gave it to him. But he loved it. (2/x)
