Calling all Michael Connelly fans! www.michaelconnelly.com

🚨 TOMORROW! Join bestselling author Michael Farris Smith for a live Reddit IAmA! He’s answering your questions about LAY YOUR ARMOR DOWN, his writing process, and life in the Deep South. 📅 March 25 ⏰ 1PM ET 📍 r/IAmA #AMA #MichaelFarrisSmith #SouthernFiction #RedditAMA

Born to be a woman of leisure who spends her days reading and looking longingly out a window, forced to come into an office in midtown and talk about books online.

With next week’s new releases behind her, featuring @veryhotmomm.bsky.social, @hannahselinger.bsky.social, and Bob the Drag Queen.

We are sad to share the passing of Little, Brown author, John Feinstein. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/b...

IN WASTE WARS, “Clapp assembles a narrative that is part history, part sociology, part horrifying travelogue. The result is a colonoscopy in book form, an exploration of the guts of the modern world.” www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...

Check out my latest in @theatlantic.com! I write about "dystopian reality" of the global waste trade, reviewing a brilliant new book by @alexclapp.bsky.social (@littlebrown.bsky.social) "A colonoscopy in book form, an exploration of the guts of the modern world" www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...

Congrats to Kellye Garrett and TJ Newman! Both are finalists for the 2025 International Thriller Writers Thriller Awards! thrillerwriters.org/2025-thrille...

"WASTE WARS tells the less-publicized story of how trash from high-income countries began traveling across borders and continents over the past 40 years, aided by shadowy networks of waste traders." www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

“The definitive biography of one of the most courageous women in American history ‘reveals Harriet Tubman to be even more remarkable than her legend.’” HARRIET TUBMAN: THE ROAD TO FREEDOM is now available for $2.99. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/cathe...

From @nytimes.com bestselling author Megan Abbott, YOU WILL KNOW ME is a breathless rollercoaster of a novel about the desperate limits of parental sacrifice, furtive desire, and the staggering force of ambition. Now available for $1.99 www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/megan...

If you could live in ANY fictional world, which would you pick?

George E. Johnson shares his new book, AFRO SHEEN, and how he made millions in the hair care industry while following the Golden Rule.

THE QUIET LIBRARIAN "alternates between two timelines: 1995 Bosnia and present-day Minnesota to tell the brutal story of war and its repercussions 30 years later." www.libraryjournal.com/review/the-q...

Everything you think you know about recycling has been as lie... Alexander Clapp, the author of WASTE WARS explains. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

Congratulations to Annabelle Tometich and THE MANGO TREE, winner of the Best Nonfiction #SouthernBookPrize! thesouthernbooksellerreview.org/southern-boo...

"Alice Franklin's new novel is a story told by an often-lonely little girl in the south of England who doesn't seem to see the world or hear its sounds or speak and think in the way other children do..."

The wonderful journalist Alexander Clapp (@alexclapp.bsky.social) has a book coming out shortly with @littlebrown.bsky.social; very excited to read this! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alexa...

"The phrase 'to throw away' is more viscerally expulsive than even our terms for bodily functions, with the possible exception of 'to throw up'—which, in spite of or because of the generosity of Clapp’s reporting, is what I felt like doing." WASTE WARS in Harper's harpers.org/archive/2025...

In case you were wondering how things were going back on that other app...

"MOTHERS AND SONS, is too beautifully written to pass over; too smart about how secrets feed on time, perversely taking up more room in our lives as the years go by…" --Maureen Corrigan, @npr.org on MOTHERS AND SONS.

“We’re telling history by telling the full story, more of the story of everyone who lived here, not just certain people who were able to tell their stories.” — @clintsmithiii.bsky.social, HOW THE WORD IS PASSED

Stacy Schiff, author of THE REVOLUTIONARY: SAMUEL ADAMS writes about Inauguration Day and how the Founding Fathers may have reacted.

Sooo… what’s everyone reading?

In her new memoir, LIFEFORM, Jenny Slate beckons readers into her wonderfully idiosyncratic, colorfully kaleidoscopic mind as she recounts her latest adventures with signature whimsy. @littlebrown www.bookpage.com/?p=...
