What’s a good book?
Burn the Place by Lane (Iliana) Regan.
For foodies. For foragers. For fighters.

What’s a good book?
Nat Cassidy’s perimenopausal horror, Mary: An Awakening of Terror.
Trust me, even if a man wrote it—it’s truth. And terrifying.
Why isn’t there a holiday for middle age?

“We don’t really read literature. We only read ourselves, and each new book is another chapter.”
What’s a good book?
Jillian Keenan’s Sex with Shakespeare. The newest chapter for my life.

Just finished Mary Zimmerman’s Argonautika this morning.
I think I need to direct a play with puppets.
Not all puppets. But puppets.

What’s a good book?
Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe.
About The Troubles in the North of Ireland. Much to do with the Price sisters, Brendan Hughes, and Gerry Adams.
Fascinating read.

What’s a good book?
The Descent by Jeff Long. The movie of the same name is based around it, but the book—so much more! Was in a race with the hubs to finish it first (but lost). Neither of us could stop reading. Great read!

Pretty pleased with all the works I read this year.
And that the photos didn’t fit in one post.

I don’t have anything off limits. I guess I just don’t read a lot of modern-era war books…? And sadly, sometimes high fantasy irks me with the names they make up and I can’t get through them. But I try.

What’s a good book?
Anya Seton’s Katherine. Beautiful historical fiction/romance about Katherine de Roet Swynford and John of Gaunt. Loved every page. Highly recommend!

“No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed.”
Probably my all-time favorite book. Needs a re-read soon.
A. S. Byatt’s Possession.

I just finished this.
Not sure how I want to feel about it.
Lost Generation ennui much?
And how can they drink that much? #booksky #books #readanythingreadeverything
What’s a good book?
Fat: The Anthropology of an Obsession. Especially loved the essay by @allymitch.bsky.social
Might inspire a play, honestly.

What’s a good book?
Back with one from Ciahnan Darrell. If literary fiction is your thing, Blood at the Root is an intense look at inequality from many characters’ perspectives all linked by one violent act. Read it! Please!

What’s a good book?
The Witch and the Tsar by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore. A feminist heroine’s journey of Baba Yaga versus Ivan the Terrible. A great reimagining!

Friends of the public library book sale is the lost Scholastic Book Fair of my youth. I honestly feel a little better owning some new-to-me books today. #readanythingreadeverything
What’s a good book?
Niche, I know, but a good starting point for a new theatrical stage manager—Thomas A. Kelly’s The Back Stage Guide to Stage Management (3rd ed). More big scale show biz, but helpful just the same.

What’s a good book?
I just finished Clive Barker’s Sacrament, trying to get into Barker mode for Subtle Bodies. I know everyone loves his horror, but I think his hidden gems are his non-horror that I’ve read. This one included.

What’s a good book?
A Broken Nose & Other Lessons by Anna Nissley.
This self-published book gives Anna’s trek on the Appalachian Trail and shows off her watercolors too. In it we see, as she writes: Big goals consist of many small steps.
#fivestars #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything
What’s a good book?
Abby Chava Stein’s Becoming Eve.
Don’t know the last time I read a book in a day until I read this one. Compelling, heart wrenching, candid, hopeful. Definitely recommend.

Scranton! Go support the library and read more so we can fight our way through this hellscape we are all living in.
Tomorrow!!!

What’s a good book?
Erin’s Daughters in America by Hasia R. Diner. A lot of information in this one about Irish women who immigrated to the US in the 1800s. More crucial to my upcoming project than I knew it was going to be.
#fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything
What’s a good book?
Gail Carriger’s The Heroine’s Journey. This is going to be a part of my MA project. Tips, tricks, background—all so you can write your own version of the journey. Thanks for this book, @gailcarriger.bsky.social!

What’s a good book?
As You Like It. Can’t believe I hadn’t read this Shakespeare before. Really enjoyed Rosalind’s stint as Ganymede. Glad it was on my MA thesis reading list.

What’s a good book?
Anna North’s alternate Old West tale of Doc Ada, the Kid, and the Hole in the Wall Gang in Outlawed. LGBTQ literature at its best with all different groups represented and they fight the man. What’s not to like?

What’s a good book?
Heldris of Cornwall’s Silence, a 13C epic poem about a girl raised as a boy to be able to inherit the family fortune. Using it for my MA thesis project. Love it.
