Remembrance: Selected Correspondence of Ray Bradbury, 2023

Iconic author of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury believed that, someday, a collection of his letters could illuminate the story of his life in new ways. That story emerges across time and memory from the pages of Remembrance.

@bookstodon My of The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 2 by Natsu Hyuuga, Kevin Steinbach (trans.) and Touko Shino (illust.) is now live! This was enjoyable as the first volume, not least because the setting and mysteries expand.

After enjoying R.F. Kuang's Yellowface so much, I'm now reading Babel - which I got from the library. It's a 500+ page honker, and the library copy is a hardback so I can't exactly slip it in my pocket to carry around. It's definitely an at home read. Enjoying it so far. She has a very readable style. @bookstodon

Author Johannes Lichtman was mystified when he was invited to speak to the CIA's creative writing group, which is called Invisible Ink. But in spite of the fact that it was unpaid (he was offered lunch in the executive dining room and a photo with the CIA seal instead) he took the gig. He wrote for the Paris Review about the stories CIA staffers are telling — no spy novels, one presidential biography, and a really good muffin recipe.

As a reader, do you prefer when people give you random books as gifts, or do you prefer getting a gift card to a bookstore (so you can pick the book)? Just curious.

Unless I’m asked about a specific book, I prefer the bookstore card 📚

@sarahf @Likewise @bookstodon same! (just not amazon gift cards)
