Can't wait to welcome @rapscallison to my Intro to Fiction Writing class tomorrow. FAGIN is a terrific novel. Epstein shows us the very heart of a character whose heart was sorely overlooked in Dicken's portrayal. Highly recommend this empathetic and exciting novel

Just finished this lovely and exciting debut novel by @umich.edu @megancummins.bsky.social The story lovingly peels back layers of complicated family dynamics, caregiving, and growing up with grown-ups who love you but fail you, too. Highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO, a thrill trip of a novel helmed by the endlessly scheming clubber/poet Lynda Boyle. Look out for the book in October, and check out my review:

Picked up these treaties at Books & Mortar in East Grand Rapids MI. Loved Caitlin Horrocks' novel The Vexations so I've been wanting to check out her latest SSC. And I've been on a female dystopia kick recently, wonder why? So the Harpman should scratch more of that itch.
