I had the pleasure of reviewing "Your Driver is Waiting" by Priya Guns for @BookWorld . This debut novel is a rollicking, combative, and headlong reimagining of "Taxi Driver." washingtonpost.com/books/202…

Not your regular year-end list. These are our favorite books *not* from 2022. My choice? HUNGER by the great Lan Samantha Chang. Wonderful selections by @ayadakhtar @MegWolitzer Viet Thanh Nguyen, and more. Edited by @nthjohnwilliams for @washingtonpost

I think my mom still buys a lot of copies of my book and hides them in the attic so I won't feel bad about myself. But to anyone else: Thank you. I could never have imagined a Swedish hockey team from inside my head would ever travel this far.

As the Washington Post points out today, you don't have to actually read Retail Gangster to enjoy it. The great Richard Ferrone takes care of that and does a splendid job.
3 great audiobooks to listen to this month @Robert___Harris @HarperAudio @gary_weiss @HachetteAudio @richardosman @penguinaudio washingtonpost.com/books/202…

What do Quentin Tarantino & William Yeats have in common?

@BookWorld - sharing this with you as I thought you might be interested in having a listen 😊😊😊😊Many thanks !
@annleary has produced another New York Times bestseller with The Foundling. I am certain of it !!! In the 1920's the words feeble minded, idiot, imbecile and moron were actually clinical terms used by doctors for women who didn't 'fit in'.

Now that I'm done, I can say without hesitation that I loved spending time with Plain Bad Heroines. It's the kind of book you're sad to finish.
I am loving Emily Danforth’s Plain Bad Heroines. Ron Charles was right on the mark calling it a delectable brew of gothic horror and Hollywood satire. Two of my favorite genres! #FridayReads
