Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 16/10/2025An excellent novel overall. The only thing keeping this from being 5 stars is the translation. I much prefer Szabó’s work as translated by Ali Smith. Still a fantastic read! #womenintranslation #literaryfiction #historicalfiction 130

Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Amity is Harris’ 2nd novel and he just keeps getting better. This one is set in the West and chronicles the journey of slave siblings who were separated by their master. If you liked Sweetness, you’re going to love Amity!! #amity #nathanharris 010

Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 24/08/2025Percival Everette can do no wrong. His sense of humor is just my brand. Easy 5 stars 040
Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Just finished. I went in blind and I’m glad I did! Very thought provoking and the author’s use of symbolism and imagery helped frame this narrative in a way that really speaks to the social climate of the 30s. I will read more from Wright very soon! I’ll be thinking about this one for awhile! 010

Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 13/07/2025@berkleypub this one gets a YES for me. If you loved The Secret Society of Irregular wishes, you’ll love this one too. Gracefully written with moments of tenderness and humor in equal measure, this book is about second chances and found family. Grab it on pub day 7/15!! 011

Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 12/05/2025This one is a must! A rerelease of Iglesias’ first novel, Zero Saints. Packs all the punch of his longer novels, but sacrifices nothing. All gas and that barrier-noir feel. He is the best contemporary crime fiction author out there! You’re going to love this one #zerosaints @gabino.bsky.social 120
Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 08/05/2025The Mind-Altering book club is celebrating Mental Health Awareness this month. Please feel free to join us on Fable. The more the merrier when it comes to dismantling systems of oppression! 020

Anny Wilkes @annywilkes.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Indie author Lauren Hollander’s Boys Were Boys is a look at a world without men. We follow 3 women from across the globe who, for better or worse, start to navigate this new world! 130
