I love love love this series and have been waiting so long for the final book but I must say the timing turned out perfectly. This is the dystopian fantasy I needed to read right now. Abby wrote a great essay about the series and what it means in this political climate for Google Play too: https://play.google.com/books/article/y23ktbdyae/fate-of-the-tearling

"Mainieri‘s propulsive debut is a double coming-of-age story that spans the border." THE INFINITE is in the New York Times Book Review today! http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/books/review/mexico-in-fiction.html

I am coping with funny books (we book clubbed these two romps over the weekend) and eating all of the carbohydrates.

Guys, I just need a laugh right now, and these truth facts hit the spot.

Today's the day to add NOT JUST JANE to your shelf! Don't you just want to slip this smokin' spine (featuring Mary Elizabeth Braddon) in between your deluxe editions of Austen & Brontë? Show 'em what history forgot!

What if a young girl was responsible for the birth of horror cinema? OH AND what if she was immortal? Perfect timing for some Halloween x Hollywood ☠🕯🕸✨📽🎃

Sarah's essays are a fantastic mix of memoir and journalism and it just whipped me up in a Floridian frenzy. Still recovering, tbh.

Rereading because Tessa is stateside! She's on the West Coast this week and then at the New Yorker Festival & McNally Jackson on the 8th.

I couldn't love this book more, and then the first copies landed and this hot pink spine is screaming at me! 💞⚡️

Each one was glazed or filled or sprinkled, sitting beneath colorless fluorescents that made it look inside as if it were always the same time of night no matter how bright it might be outdoors. I always thought her interest in food photography should be encouraged: how long could someone ogle doughnuts without giving in and eating one?

"Antonio Manzini creates an extraordinary character." —Andrea Camilleri

Excited to have the next Rocco Schiavone mystery in paperback, especially with these fabulous cover designs!

BIG fan of Adri and glad to finally have her latest in paperback. A bit of a departure heading over to Hollywood but she delivers with a glamorous cast of characters, glittering 1930s landscape, and sweeping love story.

Oh yes, I ate this right up. Ethan St. James, a wide-eyed Ivy League graduate, discovers that his dream of "making it" at a fashion magazine in NYC may well be his undoing. Fast, funny, and ruthless!

When you need to escape there's no place better to go than the Alps. Pick up Elizabeth's latest novel for a very cool adventure and the truth about how far one man will go to find...the runaway wife.

A runaway bestseller in Canada, I had to see what all the fuss was about! This is a funny and heart-warming adventure about a group of delinquent seniors going to the extreme in pursuit of a better quality of life. A little white collar (& white hair) crime keeps you sharp! 👵🏼🚔

Enlightening and encouraging, learning about the spectrum between selflessness and arrogance and where we need to land in the healthy middle for a strong sense of self. Also a great opportunity for a book selfie 😉

Renaming it my "To Be Read White and Blue Pile" ??

BEYOND excited that INVASION is in paperback and FATE is coming in the fall. I don't usually do fantasy but this is such a killer series. Kelsea is my queeeeen!

P.I. John Darvelle is back—drinking cheap beer, playing ping-pong and searching for the killer of Keaton Fuller, a rich Los Angeles man gunned down in his own driveway. Following a trail of the dead man‘s betrayals, Darvelle finds himself in the exotic, high-stakes world of rare tropical fish...

Short description: A literary exploration that seeks to answer the question: Have I lived the life I intended?

Shorter description: Exactly what I needed to read right now.

On a cold fall morning, Joseph Luzzi found himself racing to the hospital. His pregnant wife, Katherine, had been in a car accident—in one terrible instant, Luzzi became both a widower and a first-time father. Adrift and grieving, Luzzi found himself sharing Dante‘s dark wood...

I brought BAD FEMINIST to the Beyoncé concert just to take a photo but we were waiting so long for her set to start that I got to reread a few essays too. I felt like I had brought my bible to church.

Mike Perry breaks into adult fiction with THE JESUS COW (he already writes middle grade) and it is a seamless transition from his nonfiction. We're back on the farm in Wisconsin, and Mike dedicates this story to "the quiet ones."

"An engrossing snapshot of 1890s New York City. . . . Filled with well-drawn characters and lush historical texture, this tale sweeps you into the midst of writers, artists, and musicians, some of whom wrestle darker muses than others." —Jill Morrow, author of NEWPORT

Harrison Scott Key's memoir about growing up in the South with Pop is literally this emoji: 😂😂😂😂😂. THE WORLD'S LARGEST MAN will make you laugh and break your heart so get ready for a reading e x p e r i e n c e

The beginning of your new favorite series is now in paperback.

Just finished, all highlighted and flagged up. There are seven amazing women writers in here, and a fascinating perspective on what being female in the 19th century meant for literary culture.

In case you were waiting for the paperback... (And if you didn't wait, I want to see how you rate!)

I love this book so much that I found tattlys to match. Mattie's wit and hard-won wisdom are 👌🏼, plus the mystery kept my mind spinning right up to the reveal.

"With its lush settings, high-stakes suspense, and novel-within-a-novel, 300 DAYS OF SUN is a feast for fiction lovers. Lawrenson delivers a labyrinth of complex relationships the reader is both breathless to solve and eager to return to upon completion." —Erika Robuck, author of HEMINGWAY'S GIRL

“A coming-of-age story that vividly encapsulates the complexities of the modern encounter between China and America. Indeed, this is in many ways the quintessential ‘Chimerican‘ novel for the millennial generation. Disarming in its candor, addictively readable.” —Niall Ferguson

Read for the second time now that it's out in paperback and oh man does it still toy with your mind.

A truth universally acknowledged.

Breaking my heart, @BetsyBrandt

This is just the thing for doubling up on your subjects: the history of science! The New York Times says TO EXPLAIN THE WORLD is "refreshing and well-written...a rich, meaningful tale about the emergence of science."

I always want more more more Renée Knight and now I got a short story in The Strand Magazine!

Two things:
1) Jason Diamond over at Vol. 1 Brooklyn said, "You can't for the life of you put the book down."
2) HOTEL LIVING is a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Debut Fiction!

"The Beautiful Possible is a deeply felt and evocative novel that draws on history, memory, all of the senses, and the author's own considerable conjuring skills. Alive with characters and unafraid to examine ambiguous emotional complexities, this is a moving debut." —Meg Wolitzer

THE STOPPED HEART goes on sale in a couple weeks and I've never been more excited to creep people out. Cosmo calls it a "hair-raiser!"

If this is page one then imagine how crazy this story gets. Jessica brings it.

"So much like the relationship they're borne of, Crane's deeply realized mother-daughter inventions are therapeutic and ruthless, heartfelt and crushing. A lovely exercise in the wild, soothing wonders of imagination." —Booklist ?

Okay ladies now let's get in formation.

Uli over at Subway Book Review spotted Yizhi reading BEASTS OF NO NATION, which he picked up at the bookstore because of this dedication.

Been thinking about this line a lot. Love how political this is for MG.

John Darvelle is back, and this time the private eye follows a cold case into the high stakes world of rare tropical fish. Only in L.A., man.

Paperbacks headed your way this month!

"There are weeds in this sea that you're about to swim in!" Madame Nivine had said to me. "Those weeds are your past, and they're going to wrap themselves around your ankles and pull you down."
