Annihilation (Southern Reach Trilogy #1) by Jeff VanderMeer, Paperback
One of my all-time faves.
Little Women and Other Novels (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)|Hardcover
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve reread this.
It: A Novel by Stephen King, Paperback
One of the most original premises I’ve encountered. Loved it!
The City and the City by China Mieville, Paperback
Incredible collection.
frank: sonnets - Graywolf Press
A horrifying and perfect short read!
A Short Stay in Hell
You will not feel good after you read this, and I mean that in the best way. I was delighted to find myself genuinely surprised by the directions the author went. Must read!
Earthlings: A Novel
Devastating, and beautifully written.
Tender Is the Flesh
This book is a vibe - 80s, female friendship, body horror. The funnest I've had reading horror!
My Best Friend's Exorcism: A Novel
Charles Simic is one of my favorite poets, and this collection is excellent (hence the Pulitzer!)
The World Doesn't End (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
Such an incredible collection. I wish I could read it for the first time again.
Four Reincarnations: Poems
This is such a blast! Download the app and see ghosts around you - and the story is incredibly engaging. Good fun for pretty much all ages!
The Ghostkeeper's Journal & Field Guide AR
Alice Oswald is probably my favorite living poet. I adore this collection and can't recommend it enough.
Falling Awake
I just know Paul Auster was the coolest guy in whatever room he was in. These interconnected detective stories are just…well it's hard to even explain. It's a quick read and just so, so good.
The New York Trilogy: City of Glass / Ghosts / The Locked Room
An absolute delight from beginning to end. There's a specific quality, a mood that's set. I loved it! I haven't read the rest of the series yet but I plan to - but this book works as a standalone story.
The Golem and the Jinni: A Novel
Superb collection primarily dealing with addiction. Akbar has such a compelling voice.
Calling a Wolf a Wolf
A raw, honest, and beautiful look at divorce through poetry. Superb collection. Pulitzer winner!
Stag's Leap (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
I will never not recommend Olio. This book changed my conception of what you can do in poetry. Pulitzer winner! Must read!
Olio (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
Loved this collection - I think I liked it even more than his Pulitzer-winning “The World Doesn't End.” Simic at his best.
Hotel Insomnia
Beautifully written collection. I love Victor's language choices. Hard to find new, grab a used copy!
Kith
Extremely creative premise, beautifully written collection.
Deaf Republic (LA Times Book Prize Winner)
Wonderful poetry collection from one of the greatest living poets.
Metaphysical Dog
Awesome premise. I couldn't put it down, very creepy!
Intercepts: A Horror Novel
A controversial story, to be sure - but I couldn't put it down. Hard to recommend, but I trust you that if you read it, you'll get it.
Tampa
I was assigned this book in a college class some years ago, and it blew me away. I have reread it since and I still love it. An interesting and beautiful story!
The Hungry Tide: A Novel
Beautiful story, very tender and inspired me to read up on Japanese gardens - highly recommend!
The Garden of Evening Mists
Quite simply, the greatest collection of short stories ever written (in my opinion). If you love magical realism, I think you'll agree.
Labyrinths
Listen. I don't care that you've already heard of this book, and that my recommendation means little. I have to recommend it, because it's one of the greatest volumes of poetry ever produced. I like this restored edition as well, with her handwriting...
Ariel: The Restored Edition: A Facsimile of Plath's Manuscript, Reinstating Her Original Selection and Arrangement
