Just squeaking by under the wire here, but THUS BEGINS MY BEST BOOKS OF 2022 THREAD! Follow along for all the books I loved this year! ⬇️👇
Buy these fabulous books from your local indie bookstore, or the audio at @librofm, or check them out from @LibbyApp / your local library!
OLGA DIES DREAMING by Xochitl Gonzalez (@Flatironbooks)
I read this for the @ABAbook's #IndiesIntroduce list this past winter & it's still the best book I read all year. It's wise, warm & witty, touches on race and wealth to diaspora and family while keeping you turning the page

Alright fam THE TIME IS NIGH
for my traditional BEST BOOKS OF 2021 thread
prepare your butts
and your wallets
to shop local
to shop indie
to shun B*zos
and make your Bookish Auntie Speas proud
A quick rundown:
-First I'm gonna share the 2021 releases (if you don't see your faves, I promise it wasn't b/c I didn't like them, it was b/c I didn't read them yet, and I will bear that shame into 2022 😂)
It's that time again: Old Crone Rebecca's yearly thread of her BEST BOOKS OF 2019!
As always, each book will have a blurb, a cover image, buy links from @justonemorepage if possible, and a @librofm link if I particularly enjoyed the audiobook!
@justonemorepage@librofm Just a rundown of how this is all gonna work:
I'm going through all of my fave 2019 releases, probably taking a snack break, and then going through all my fave books I read that did NOT come out in 2019!
Also I will inevitably be interrupted, so have patience, friends!

ALRIGHT Y'ALL, OPERATION: BEST BOOKS OF 2018 THREAD IS LIVE!
Here's how this'll work: Each book I mention will have a blurb, a cover image, buy links from @justonemorepage wherever possible, and a @librofm link if I particularly enjoyed the audiobook.
HERE WE GO BUCKLE UP KIDS
WICKED AND THE WALLFLOWER by @sarahmaclean: My favorite book of the year, and my fave of Sarah's books. Thrilling, passionate, sexy as hell, incredibly moving, and a heroine that is EVERYTHING to me. Do yourself a favor and pick this up immediately.
