Weekend Thread: What's Everyone Reading?
What's turning your brain on right now?
Hi friends.
Greetings from the other side of a snowstorm.
I just finished Aria Aber’s Good Girl, which I loved. It was so juicy and vibrant and moving, and the language was top-notch. Here’s a great review of it from pal (and 1000 Words contributor) R.O. Kwon.
Now I’m about to dig into friend (and another 1000 Words contributor!) Laila Lalami’s The Dream Hotel, which is already so suspenseful and riveting.
What are you reading right now?
Happy Sunday, y’all.
Jami
You are reading Craft Talk, the home of #1000wordsofsummer and also a weekly newsletter about writing from Jami Attenberg. I’m also on bluesky and instagram.
I finally picked up The Overstory by Richard Powers. My word, what an amazing novel. I’m halfway through, and I am already having that feeling of: I don’t want this one to end!
Finally reading Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and wishing I hadn’t waited so long! (Needed a fiction break after finishing Timothy Snyder’s pocketbook On Tyranny)
