Help, #Booktwitter! I’m reading multiple books about climate change and extinction. Yay! But I really need something to lighten it up for a flight this afternoon. Got any recommendations for a smart, sexy, fun read that isn’t too pop??? #bookfun #booklovers #Readers #amreading

I’m delighted to share that @MuthaMagazine has published my personal essay, #Graffiti Mom. This piece shares unique aspects of my journey as a #Mom and touches on the universal experience of embodied love. #WritingCommunity #parenting #reflection #BookTwitter #streetart
“I believe that if you ask him, he’d tell you that this was when he started to write. Not the kind of writing that was tied to all those books we read, but the kind of writing done with spray paint at nighttime on other people’s property.”

Fabulous to see a friend published in the @NewYorker! I hope to join her ranks some day. Onward and upward, @maggie_rae! #writingcommunity #amwriting #goals
I wrote about “Night Ride,” an excellent short film in which a woman steals a tram and outsmarts a bully, for @NewYorker (!!!). newyorker.com/culture/screen…
Fall is here in the PNW today and I’m excited for my plans. Currently approaching the end of the brilliant #MyYearAbroad by Chang-Rae Lee…to be immediately followed by reading the review by @alexanderchee. 🍁Do you read reviews before or after? #happyplace #amreading #litcrit

Who is reading THE IMMORTAL KING RAO by @vauhinivara right now and devouring this socially critical narrative!? I’m 2/3 in and swooning 💯. The living settings of #PNW and Telangana, India, woven timeline, and irresistible characters are riveting. #amreading #booklover #kingrao

Update: Finished THE IMMORTAL KING RAO…it’s a masterpiece. @vauhinivara wrote it over 12 years, yet it feels precisely of this moment and chillingly on point about a potential future. Is this a new sub-genre? Post-dystopic futurism? #kingrao #booktwitter #amreading #technology

My thoughts on THE CANDY HOUSE by @Egangoonsquad. Art versus technology in a riveting contemporary/futurist novel following up to her 2011 GOON SQUAD. #amreading #cautionarytale #technology #future #booktwitter #hottake lisamhanson.com/books-in-con…

“Social media was dead, everyone agreed; self-representations we’re inherently narcissistic or propagandic or both, and grossly inauthentic.” -Jennifer Egan, The Candy House. Check out my review of this contemporary, futurist novel. #amreading #booktwitter lisamhanson.com/books-in-con…
This piece dropped me straight into familiar and unfamiliar territory. Romanticizing Laura Palmer:familiar. Visiting a healer in rural Russia: unfamiliar. This funny, poignant work made its author known as a pilllar of #MeToo in Russia. Great read. #Books granta.com/literary-exhibiti…

Beautiful essay on an unusual family living situation. I like the way Zanghi flattens time here, we move seamlessly through childhood, 20s, and late 30s. Light, air, and color metaphors delight. @CatapultStory #BookTwitter catapult.co/stories/what-hom…

Joy Williams is clearly a genius. There are a lot of comments on Twitter about her cool as ice author photo. But this post is about the world and message of her brilliant work #Harrow. #booksincontext #BookTwitter #BookReview #postapocalyptic #booklovers lisamhanson.com/books-in-con…
One moment I’m living in the magnificent strange truth of the world of #NoOneIsTalkingAboutThis by @TriciaLockwood. The next, I encounter a Britney Spears IG post, proving the IRL existence of the post language portal world. Lockwood’s novel is dystopic-realism reportage. #Sneaze
I love making bone broth, and I love this beautiful essay in @The_Rumpus, “Tend.” “Tending has a thickness to it—it entails attention, time, and something like sacrifice.” @AylaSamli #amreading #booktwitter #nonfiction

“Thumbelina and Tinker Bell are both, in my imagination, queer, visual representations of citorises. They buzz, they yearn, they are tiny and hidden, and sometimes tiny and visible.” @randajarrar Love is an Ex-Country. Loving this wild ride of a book! #amreading #nonfiction
