Presented without comment.

Sitting out the Bloated Orange Pustulant One's prime time SCOTUS announcement. The presidency isn't a reality show. Instead, I'll be diving into one of these new books I just bought. Stay woke, people. Stay woke.

Observed Martin Luther King, Jr day by honoring another American hero: bought Volume 3 of John Lewis's MARCH.

I am SO excited about this! I've been wanting to read this since I heard the author talking about it. Am halfway through and so far it's totally gripping. Thank you, @flatironbooks !

Gang, have you all seen the stunning new graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's KINDRED? Just pubbed yesterday.

My sister-in-law turned me on to this extraordinary literary post-apocalyptic novel from UK author Adrian Walker. The story is less about the end of the world than about one man's journey to self-awareness. I'd recommend this for readers who loved Cheryl Strayed's WILD. Currently it's not available in the U.S. but it's worth the effort to order from overseas. Really a great read. EDIT TO ADD: this book has been picked up in the U.S.!

This book is just amazing. A few pages left to go. Giving me so much to think about.

A fantastic novel that doesn't appear to be available in the U.S. Someone buy the rights to this quick!

If you loved Stephen King's THE STAND, you might want to read Robert McCammon's award-winning post-apocalyptic fantasy SWAN SONG. And you're in luck because today it's just .99 cents on both Google Play and Amazon. YOU ARE WELCOME. 😎

Um, guys? Amazon and Google are both selling Joe Haldeman's amazing book The Forever War for just TWENTY FIVE CENTS. Head over and grab it before they figure out their mistake.

That's this weekend's reading sorted. Thanks, @grandcentralpub !

Man, I wish Octavia Butler had still been alive for this election. #BeTheChange

Just gonna leave this here.... *cough*

The inimitable Alice Walker has written a thoughtful and powerful reflection on the presidential election. Click here to read the whole thing. Amazing! Stll crying. Http://bit.ly/2fo63LN

Uh, GANG? This is Karin's new Will Trent novel and it's fantastic. If you like thrillers that mess with your head, you should read this like NOW. And the ebook seems to be on sale. #trustme

Amazon and Google are still in a price war with Prince of Tides. Just NINE CENTS. Nine pennies. Grab it now before they fix their mistake...

We're having an office debate about the model on this galley cover. Help us resolve this: does this guy look more like Jake Gyllenhaal or Michael Fassbender? #teamfassbender or #teamgyllenhaal ??? Answer in the comments!

Gang, just noticed that Sandra Brown's brand new romantic thriller STING is on sale today for $3.99. Don't say I never did anything for ya! 😎

Hanging out with Singapore-based husband and wife kids book writing team Adan Jimenez and Felicia Low-Jimenez, aka "A.J. Low", creators of the awesomely fun middle grade series Sherlock Sam. They're in Seattle for their very first U.S. bookstore event!

For reasons that baffle me, Amazon and Google Play appear to be having a price war over this very fine, very dead British mystery writer. Currently the ebook is on sale for SIX CENTS. Yes, you heard that right. Six. Cents.

Mugsy and I are having a serious conversation tonight.

Laughing like a hyena because the show runner for Luke Cage managed to get the phrase "Watchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" into this episode.

Robin McKinley's dark reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. Ebook is on sale in the U.S. for $1.99 today! #nycc #nerdreads

It only took me two and a half weeks but I finished all the books for the #NYCC panel I'm moderating TOMORROW.

I love this quote.

Book number EIGHT for my #NYCC panel next week! Halfway through. Just two more books to read by Thursday morning.

Raise your hand if you remember reading Gordon Merrick's classic gay romances back in the day. *raises hand* Welp, you're in luck, because they're back in print (digitally) and today, this one's only $1.99! This was groundbreaking stuff, people!

"You say these things as though they are special—as if it is unusual for one person to see another in pain, and wish to help." I am loving this book.

Book number seven for my #NYCC panel! Three more to read before Thursday!

More reading for my #NYCC panel in October. This is book number six.

Still working my way through the books I have to read for the #NYCC panel I'm moderating in October.

A train full of sapeurs-pompiers (aka, French first responders) on their way to the World Trade Center site this morning to pay their respects. There were twelve of them, some carrying flowers.

If you want to read an amazing book about the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, try American Ground.

Love when my friends send me care packages!

A two margarita and one Julie Kagawa breakfast.

Care package from @WilliamMorrow

My ever-expanding pile of books to read for the panel I'm moderating on setting in SF/F at New York Comic Con in October. Hope to see some of you there!

I'm really behind in my Litsy reviews but I can't not talk about this book. UH-MAY-ZING. A fantastic and utterly original post-apocalyptic novel that feels like Cormac McCarthy wrote a YA western. The first person POV works to get you deep inside the head of a troubled and feral girl called Elka, who survives in a brutal British Columbian wilderness. This was a completely immersive read; I cannot recommend it highly enough. TRUST ME.

I really wanted to love this book because I've enjoyed others of Karin Fossum's. But it was an awkward read, with dreadful dialogue that I think may have been a result of bad translation. A bigger hurdle to overcome was knowing pretty much from the first chapter what would happen. There was simply no mystery in this mystery.

A little 96 degree heat dome isn't gonna stop me from getting a giant iced cold brew and starting a new mystery for #24in48!

Loved this book! I'll never look at octopus the same way. Written with extraordinary compassion and empathy. #24in48

No, a book about an octopus didn't just make me cry. YOU CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING. #24in48

I am so behind in adding reviews here but then I go and start a new book. Also? I suspect I'm never gonna eat calamari again after reading this. #24in48

This woman was a visionary. In Butler's 1998 Nebula Award-winning novel PARABLE OF THE TALENTS, she introduced a very Trump-like character whose campaign slogan was "Make America great again."

'Nuff said.

This was an amazing read! A traditional detective story set several months before an asteroid is set to smash the Earth to pieces. It's about honor and duty and family and hope; it's also the first of a trilogy that I whipped through in three days. Just read it!
