Bridge of Clay

Markus Zusak

1.8k

Secondly, Markus Zusak's extraordinary novel Bridge of Clay, which I suspect I'll reread many times. It's a sprawling, challenging, and endlessly rewarding book. But it also has the raw and real and unironized emotion that courses through all of Zusak's books. I'm in awe of him.

Black Wings Beating

Alex London

1.8k

I've read two big books over Thanksgiving, both of which I am pleased to recommend. First, @ca_london's Black Wings Beating, which is an epic fantasy about falconry with a queer protagonist, and also a world so richly imagined that you truly feel like you live within it. So good.

Impostors

Scott Westerfeld

In semi-related news, I thought Scott Westerfeld's new book from the Uglies universe, IMPOSTERS, was fascinating and incisive--as his books always are. Plus, it's unputdownable.

Stayed up WAY too late last night because I could not put down the brilliant survival story I AM STILL ALIVE by @kmarshallarts. Oh my God. What a book.
