@elizmccracken Bet the coffee was cold by the time you got it

[Dalia Azim @DaliaAzim]

@elizmccracken Want to read! Glad you’re on the other side of it!

[Dalia Azim @DaliaAzim]

@skirkwalsh Good question!

[Texas Book Festival @texasbookfest]

Closing out this year's #FridayReads is Jasper Cannedy-Azim, son of TBF staffer @DaliaAzim! Jasper recommends THE SUNBEARER TRIALS by @aidenschmaiden.

Thanks for sharing, Jasper.

For @nytimesbooks, I reviewed four nonfiction books that explore the geographic—and personal—boundaries of travel (whether by bike, car or other means), and how the convergence brings new understandings of place, home, identity & one’s own horizon line. https://t.co/m8nFuXJSAe

Congrats on her 🌟 review at @KirkusReviews: A NEW RACE OF MEN FROM HEAVEN by @ChaitaliSen2020!

"Almost every story here is a study in restraint, Sen’s considerable talent evident in her ability to wring meaning from the smallest details." https://t.co/a9U5ooaPgH

This essay on my fertility struggles is the most personal thing I've ever published. I'm so grateful to my editor, @Jhodie_W, for her support!

We've only scratched the surface on all the potential ramifications of overturning #RoeVWade.

I reviewed LaToya Watkins' debut, PERISH, for @nytimesbooks. The intergenerational novel—set largely in small-town West Texas—animates the contours & scars of trauma, memory & truth. You won't forget these characters—in all of their brokenness & brightness.https://t.co/F2mqwEkE3e

@mhspecht Sounds like it might be a long wait but we should honestly get on the list when it opens.

“It isn’t necessary for a visitor to bring anything to “City” except an open mind. Its opening arrives as a young generation increasingly seems to value experiences over money and possessions. So it’s late, but on time.

I suspect it will make a beautiful ruin someday.”

[Will Evans @willevans]

If anyone tries to tell you Russian literature is only dead guys with beards, point them in the direction of @DeepVellum. New galleys by Alisa Ganieva & Alla Gorbunova, only missing the forthcoming Petrushevskaya galley for the 21st century trinity.

"Possum Kingdom Lake has been a great teacher to me over the years, imparting lessons on resilience, growth, and adaptation."

Read @DaliaAzim's wonderful essay in @TexasHighways — and how place can persist amid unimaginable tragedy and memories. https://t.co/EeG4SPbEWv

[Dalia Azim @DaliaAzim]

Thank you to @ShannonPerriii and @The_Rumpus for talking to me about Country of Origin https://t.co/l5m3asb4Ap

@kimrgarza @WritersLeague @pantaloonies So nice to connect with you! I’d love to do so in person next time!

[Andrew Porter @AndrewPorter01]

Looking forward to talking with @pantaloonies and @DaliaAzim next weekend about these two extraordinary novels @SABookFestival!
