How have I missed this? Castillo seems to echo my love for the frictional reading ethic, the aspiration to read/think/behave/politic better. Awesome.

7 ARCs releasing across July and August, and I don't think I've ever had a run this strong. Wartime thrillers, cozy chaos, a mob lawyer doing inner child work. 📚🔪#cozymystery #bookstagram #arcreader #netgalley #bookreview #whodunit #mysterybooks #summerreads #tbrpile #bookblog #cozycrime #mystery

Okay, so it's the gritty horror of Joe. Check. And it's about a dragon? Double-plus good. And it's epically long? Settle in!

Sharif's first book is an aggressive examination of war and free speech, an effort to focus us when we gloss or blur our understanding.

Patel's book is sold as poetry, but I'm told better to think of it as performance or a lost narrative, a song of political exploitation and erasure. Will do!

Clearing out a pile of books as I head into fall. But really looking forward to Patel's and Sharif's poetry (Thank you, Soham!), along with Castillo's incisive take on the civic act of reading.

Still reading late Auster because I can't stop: something about his voice, his indulgency, the seeming helplessness of it all. . . and then the turn. And here, the dog, Mr. Bones.

Pico's first book on identity and privacy between the internet and real life, also the first part of his "Teebs tetralogy," which I will read, one each season, as I believe they were themed.

I've followed Cardin's blog/newsletter for years as he wrestles with the Dark Muse which lies somewhere in the psyche of writing. Time to finally dig into his larger works, beginning with this anthology of stories where art, religion, and horror merge!

An escape from a Nazi camp; a reflection on the broken work of memory. This is a Bellow novel I missed along the way: the sales sticker tells me how long it's been on the shelf!

Layered thick with history and metaphor, Ferris's decidedly adult graphic novel from the perspective of a unique-minded 10-year-old in 1960s Chicago keeps surprising in its next discovery. And gorgeously-innovative artwork!

Dimaline's dark forecast is also a mirror to past horror where blood remains an essential desire and commodity and is, unsurprisingly, a fatal enterprise.

Yeah, but what if Columbus found himself . . . not so "pure-blooded"? Today's descendants aggressively work to rectify the narratives of history. As I might guess, Vizenor's riffing on blood and politics will drench this story with satirical insight.

Intrigued by this. Maybe too burned out right now to absorb currently but definitely interested. #TBRPile

Graphic memoir of a mother and her work to adapt to and accept her child's trans-sexuality. Not sure what to expect, but highly recommended!

Though written in 2011, King's collage-like poetry still seeks security in a world unbalanced in language and violence. I really am sensing a thematic pattern to contemporary poetry collections. . . .

As an old tabletop RPGer, I grimly accepted this recommendation into the series by Dinniman. Hopefully I am more entertained than the trite humor of writers like Pratchett.

Ever since reading her 𝘕𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢, Stevenson's creative flame has impressed. Here is a graphic memoir of her early career, leaning on mental health challenges along the way.

Macedo's excellent collection of readings across Freire's works happens to hit a number of books that I haven't studied well. This will round out this year's focus on Freire's humbling pedagogy.

Don't let that cute cover throw you off. This is Richard Scarry-style illustration with the story of a serial killer. We just have to ruin everything, don't we?
