Just dropped a list of neo-noir book recs for anyone who loves gritty crime fiction and dark thrillers. If you’re into flawed narrators and fast-moving revenge stories, this one’s for you. 📚🖤

I dread reading SA Cosby’s novels, mostly because he does the thing I want to do so much better than I could ever do it. Blacktop Wasteland is yet another example.

What is everybody’s take on Exquisite Corpse? I just finished it this weekend, and honestly it was both one of the best-written and most unsettling things I’ve ever read.

Just started “Cogan’s Trade” by George V. Higgins (which became “Killing Them Softly” in theaters).

Some of the grittiest and most well-written dialogue this side of Elmore Leonard. I’ve never seen an author characterize people so well through their words.

Aaron Gordon’s dunk at the buzzer in tonight’s Nuggets / Clippers is one of the crazier endings to a game I’ve ever seen.

My Dark Vanessa is, as @stephenking.bsky.social says in his blurb, “A well-constructed package of dynamite.” 🧨 📕 📖 📚

Book cover of ‘My Dark Vanessa’ by Kate Elizabeth Russell. The black-and-white image shows a close-up of a young woman’s face with her eyes closed. A butterfly rests on her fingers, partially covering one eye. The title ‘My Dark Vanessa’ is overlaid in white text, with a quote from Gillian Flynn praising the novel. The author’s name appears at the bottom.

Wake Up and Open Your Eyes is a horror novel about zombies being brainwashed by a propaganda outlet, and I didn't know I needed this in my life until I started reading it.

I’ve been bad about using this particular piece of social media, so here’s a few books I’ve read recently.

Olivetti (middle grade fiction) is a surprisingly poignant and unexpectedly emotional novel about life told from the perspective of a discarded typewriter.

Okay, I’ve got to be honest: I didn’t love Red Rising for the first…several hours?

That said, there’s a plot shift—I won’t say twist—that happens a little over halfway through, and I’ve locked IN on this book. Can’t wait to finish it.

There is nothing quite like suffering through a knee-bending sickness while listening to this wonderfully lyrical novel about the end of the world.

What’s the consensus on “A Touch of Jen?” I’m roughly 1/3 of the way through it, and I’m not loving it.

The year is young yet, but it’ll take quite the thoroughbred to outpace this book. A few hundred pages of pure poetry. #books #booksky 📚
Here is an alt text description for the image: Book cover of The Heart in Winter by Kevin Barry. The background is a bold red color. The title, “The Heart in Winter,” is in large black serif font at the top, with “A Novel” in smaller text beneath it. Below the title, “Author of Night Boat to Tangier” is written in small uppercase letters. The author’s name, “Kevin Barry,” appears in bold black letters at the bottom. The central image is a large, irregularly shaped beige heart, resembling a rugged landscape. Within the heart’s upper section, a silhouette of two figures on horseback is seen against a yellow sun. The illustration has a minimalist and abstract style, evoking a sense of solitude and vastness.

Sinclair' Lewis's 1935 dystopian novel, It Can't Happen Here, follows the election of a populist named "Buzz" Windrip, who takes complete control over the government after appealing to the "forgotten man" in America. #books #booksky #dystopia #handmaidstale 📚

A woman moves back into the childhood home where her father murdered her whole family…or did he?

Loving this one so far.
