Excited to read:
Writers & Lovers by Lily King (Grove Press, March 3, 2020)
Holy cats, I am excited for this novel! I am such a big fan of Lily King. Father of the Rain is my favorite novel by her. It made me cry so much, which I wasn’t expecting. I was like, “WHY IS IT RAINING ON MY FACE.” And really, everything she does is amazing, so I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. This one is about a woman trying to move past a tough period in her life after the sudden death of her mother and a love affair gone wrong. I’ll have the tissues ready this time, just in case.
What I’m reading this week:
Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi
The Unwilling by Kelly Braffet
Remember by Patricia Smith
Pun of the week:
