American Spy
Lauren Wilkinson
I also reviewed Lauren Wilkinson's "American Spy." Bloody brilliant, nuanced thriller set in Burkina Faso, NYC & the Caribbean. Highly recommend this. https://t.co/QChrm8xnAX

Our Share of Night
Mariana Enriquez
My review of Mariana EnrÃquez's novel, OUR SHARE OF NIGHT: "Maybe I turn up the volume to 11 because of the genre I like to work in, but the genre puts a light on the real horror that gets lost in [a phrase like] 'political violence'." --M. EnrÃquez https://t.co/7Q3FZz43Zv

Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand
Samuel R. Delany
@nameshiv The main character from Steve Delany's "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" is a human who's part of an integrated colonial family that includes native space crabs. Not a book for the faint of heart though.

So Help Me God
Mike Pence
As Kirschner points out, Mike Pence is fighting a subpoena essentially asking him to repeat under oath the same incriminating details about 1/6 that HE ALREADY REVEALED IN HIS BOOK, ironically titled, "So Help Me God." Hopefully SCOTUS will fast-track his testimony. https://t.co/ErplJFGAts

The Symposium
Plato
@aprilhenrybooks I presume he'll start by banning Plato's "Symposium"? This gay literary conspiracy has been around for millennia! 😄

The Awakening
Kate Chopin
@jesterholm @tcboyle Kate Chopin's 1894 "The Story of an Hour" hits hard. Another perfect short story. I think more people don't read her because she's considered too cynical for high school English classes. Her novel "The Awakening" probably still gives certain people the vapors. https://t.co/9FTo0dgEQ9

The Dark Hours
Michael Connelly
Started THE DARK HOURS, Michael Connelly's new mystery, tonight. He hasn't lost a step & as ever charges right in. The story kicks off New Year's 2021 & is the first novel I've read that includes Covid. https://t.co/QyqLbD8zEa

Herrick's End
