All of us #menopunks will want to be the great aunt in this fun novella by @annaburns.bsky.social

Cover art of my dreams. This is by Morgan Sorensen (on Instagram at @see_machine ). I haven't even started the book yet, but I'm already hooked. That's what a great artist does. I would hang this and put it on my wall in a second. #thesaltgrowsheavyinmydreams #tornightfire #tor #coverart

I went back in time to one of Nnedi Okorofor's earlier novels. Eco-fiction. Sci fi slash fantasy. But I love the critique of military, government, society, and fundamentalist Christianity in this one. You can read it as a satire. #novelstoteach

I'm a #fangirl I'd love to have a 3 month book club just on this novel. There's another cover that I liked better.

Here's my literally #dogeared copy of the wonderful #onceuponariver by @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social My puppy is 11 weeks old. The back cover is worse. This is the best historical novel I've read in ages. I would live in this transitional, mid-19th c rural world.

Happy to have read the 3rd & final novel in the #therottersclub series. Benjamin remains a boring character, but I loved following 2 generations of related characters over the years. I wish the naughty character from the 1st novel was here. We needed him. Also, more Corrie humour? A #brexitnovel

Alternative cover for #therottersclub The novel makes me wish that we had more stories about groups of friends in high school. Not YA, but novels for adult readers, like this one. #jonathancoe

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

As good as the series, which says a lot. This is the first thriller/mystery I've read in years. I kind of wish I could like cozy mysteries, but I just can't.

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This is the novel that should be read by anyone concerned about #patriarchy #culticleaders #cults and the true nature of evil in self-serving, normal men. Not our world, but familiar. Cathedral, churches, villages, farms. Racial outsiders. Religion. Ritual. Fear of witches. Punishment. Resistance.

Some academic 'monographs' are fascinating when your care about the topic. This one surprised me because I didn't realize how fast modern breeds were established. So many Victorian beliefs come into this history: class, gender, nationalism, class, evolution, and eugenics. It left me needing a sequel

I finally read #Ducks Essential reading for everyone on Turtle Island. @katebeaton.bsky.social Be sure to read the afterword

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Carrying War is excellent. Fragments, vignettes, and essays reveal the author's 1983 Beirut experiences of civil war, her years of avoidance, then the decision to face this gutting past just as her father lays dying. #tanyabellehumeurallatt #carryingwar @dundurnpress.bsky.social

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

How experiencing civil war in 1983 Beirut as the child of a UN Peacekeeper effects her life and the writing of this memoir--namely, the memories that can only be recorded and fragments or short vignettes. Part 2 has writing about the period before she realized her PTSD. You can tell from the style.

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Thank you @elainefeeney.bsky.social for #letmegomadinmyownway The perfect title for signaling how the protagonist deals with herself, her generational trauma. (And once again, brilliant settings. This will be another Feeney book that stays with me in my thoughts)

When a novel should be half its length and categorized differently. #saintx

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

#miriamtoews fascinating memoir written in a sometimes fragmented, sometimes narrative style, with stitch patterns from previous chapters repeated later on. A great sense of her multi-generational home. Family. Writing. Told with humour.

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

The closer I got to the end of this great novel, the slower I read. I now need all my friends to read it because there's so much to talk about: curragh, O'Toole, chaos, lines and curves, masculinities, Tadhg's island, loss, Jaimie and the ocean... Thank you to @elainefeeney.bsky.social

Thank you @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social for the reprints of this and The Summer Book. I hope you publish more Tove Jansson. Thanks to you, I've discovered this great author and her quiet, spare novellas.

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

@ekgipson.bsky.social I have a new favorite author. Tove Jansson. I just finished The True Deceiver. I wish I could buy copies for everyone.

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

A quiet read for July. I love 2 and 3-page chapters. #tovejansson #thesummerbook

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I read that this two-plot, two-setting, two-protagonist novel was first published half with one story first and half with the other. My ebook weirdly had 2 sections with both stories repeated and no explanation. What an awesome and successful experiment. I loved both stories and the ties between!

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Love love loved rereading this #tomorrowandtomorrowandtomorrow @gabriellezevin.bsky.social Because of this novel, I created a course on storytelling in games. I wish I could thank her.

The loveliest novel about the apocalypse #mohsinhamid #exitwest

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

I would definitely read more from #vibhutijain Ignore the mismatched cover. It's a novel about teenagers involved in a knifing, it's about swimming, and it's about the social and racial disparities in a rich, liberal New England suburb.

A friend asked me how many books I've read from the New York Times' list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. 73, with 2 more that I've just picked up from my library. #100bestbooks #nytbooks

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

#PuntodeCruz translation. At one point, two of the best friends decide to sit in silence for a few minutes longer, then the plot is delayed by a fragment about textile art, theory, or history, and I realized that the whole novel had been narrated like this: as a way to delay the end. #jazminabarrera

#buffycram with a super well construed story of an 8 year old in the periphery of a Domesday cult in 1968 New York... and the same girl a decade later at a Vancouver half-way house, opening herself to the future

Not as good as the first novel

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Fantastic novel, fun, meta, and smart. The story of a Harvard freshman; the length--which it has to have--of a 19th c Russian novel. #theidiot @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social #elifbatuman

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

I loved every second and every detail of this novel. It's an interwar novel about academic colonialism as an injection in New Guinea #lilyking #euphorianovel

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

I just finished reading the best novel I've read in years of ever. Euphoria, by Lily King. I wish I could buy you a copy.

Epic novel about a wind in the Pennines. Helm, the wind, is a great protagonist!

I loved finding a note at the end of this novel by the cover art. He celebrates working with the landscapes and worlds created by the author, #antonhur #stephenbrayda

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

A sweet romance by the author of #heatedrivalry. Perfect for readers who romance, not erotica. Excellent for modeling how asking for consent can be foreplay and set boundaries. This is great. @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social

Favorite cover artist: Chris Mrozik. She created the look of the Kingfisher novels, which adds so much to how you read them. Check out her ig and her website to see what else she does. ChristinaMrozikshop.com

I love this new wave of posthumanist horror novels, like this quick read. It's a fun one. @tkingfisher.com

What? We only have the 1946 translation of this great novel? That has to change. I listened to all 20 hours!

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Thank you Cillian Murphy for recommending this novel

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

This filled in a lot of gaps, with a focus on her childhood and music career, but it simultaneously opens up gaps that left me actually wanting more despite all she's already written about her life. #pattismith

Warlund @warlund.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I would buy a copy of this for all the science students I know so that they keep dreaming big whole worrying about their college courses. It's fiction with microbiology, astrophysics, marine and space exploration...... #martinmacinnes
