Good writing & a story you’re interested in. A novel idea, I know, but in this day & age we are all but told who & what we should be reading. Don’t listen, read what & who you enjoy.
Below are a stack of books by Richard Russo, who I think is an incredible writer. You may totally disagree & that’s 100% alright with me. #books#photography#read#booktoot@bookstodon
I have a book coming out Jan 20th!
It's a standalone connected to my Children of the Nexus series (same world, the love-interest here is a main POV in the series)
This book has:
so much banter
strong sibling relationship
strong friendships
friends-to-lovers
gay side characters
main character anxiety rep
diverse cast
deep worldbuilding
action and adventure, wilderness survival style
low fantasy (none of the main group displays clear magic on page)
single PoV, third person past tense

I read Iron Curtain by #VesnaGoldsworthy. A page-turner set in the 1980s. A young privileged 'red princess' from a poor unnamed central European country elopes to London in the name of love. The sense of displacement has echoes of the Patricia Engel book I read just before this. There's also enjoyable farce here even if the clichés about the UK are laid on a little thick at times. #bookToot#bookstodon#keefsreads
The second book in the series, Watch us Dance, covers the family's path from poverty to affluence. Morocco is navigating its way through the early years of independence. It's a much more convincing book than the previous one. You want to know what happens to these characters amid the turbulent growing pains of the country. #LeilaSlimani#bookstodon#BookToot#KeefsReads
