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

“Open your hands and let your life go. It has never been yours to do with what you will.” @legroff. The captivating Marie, 12th century abbess in #Matrix, offers wisdom that is somehow the perfect advice for the current #Twitter conundrum as we enter the @elonmusk era.

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

@rosshowalter I have a little write up about Harrow if you feel the need for a little processing when you finish. Quite a read!

[Books in Context @booksincontext]

@goodreads Oahu, Hawaii for the current chapter of Chang Rae Lee’s #MyYearAbroad, the book as a whole covers several locations, including Hong Kong ❤️. I’m just short of half way in and this book is vibrant, fresh, and surprising. The writing itself is rich, playful, and raw. #amreading

[Books in Context @booksincontext]

@SerenaPuang My list would be incredibly long, so I’ll just say I’m currently reading MY YEAR ABROAD by the brilliant, Chang-Rae Lee, and I strongly suggest including this book or at least one of his works in your exploration. #genius #amreading

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

[Books in Context @booksincontext]

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

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 https://t.co/quoWGGvKJR

“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 https://t.co/quoWGGvKJR
