Someday I'm going to write the definitive history of board games and I'll call it SORRY/NOT SORRY and you can't stop me.

@Lou_Berney @ALA_Booklist Thanks. I assumed the date had to be wrong. (I'm enjoying it very much.)

@bookfella @ALA_Booklist It's coming out in November! That 2017 date is inaccurate. (Thanks for reviewing!)

@Lou_Berney I'm reviewing Double Barrel Bluff for @ALA_Booklist. I notice Goodreads has a 2017 publication date for the book. I'm assuming that's inaccurate, but can you please confirm? Many thanks.

Reviewing @nealstephenson's forthcoming Polostan for a review in @ALA_Booklist. I'd like to spend an hour or so inside this man's mind, just to see how he conceives his magnificent stories. (Cryptonomicon is a once-a-year read for me.)

@ChrisNashawaty I'm reviewing The Future Was Now for Booklist. (I also did your wonderful Caddyshack book.) I'm wondering if you could DM me; want to ask you a couple of questions re who you interviewed for the book (the e-galley doesn't contain that infornation). Thanks.

@JustSayRad Wilkerson's Caste isn't a novel. You repeatedly called it a novel on the air.

Reading @StephenKing 's forthcoming book of short fiction for an @ALA_Booklist review.

Reading @cjtudor's The Gathering for a Booklist review. Don't want to give away too much, but I will say I probably won't use a lunchbox anymore. See chapter 33.

What I especially like about this novel by @arrroberts is the circularity of its three-part structure. Once you've finished the book you want to start it again, to capture the nuances you missed in the first part because you hadn't read the second and third parts.

@arrroberts Very nice journey from "what the heck is he doing here?" to "oh, I see what he's doing."

@bookfella Thank you!

I'm hardly ever on here anymore, but had to swing by to compliment @arrroberts on Purgatory Mount. A slice of brilliance, that. [I have a Bluesky code if you want to join us cool kids over there.]

If anyone I follow wants a Bluesky code, email me. Email address is on my review site.

i have codes for the other place

Who needs a code for the happy place?

@grady_hendrix interested in an invite code for the blue place? DM me if you are.

I have an invite for the other place, if anybody needs one.

@scottEmovienerd Done!

Read this book. Do it now.

Picked up a used copy of @GillyMacmillan's The Perfect Girl. I haven't read all her books, but The Long Weekend, The Nanny, and To Tell You the Truth are first rate.

@cinemaxwell Loved it.

@bookfella So glad you enjoyed it! Masterpiece of imagination is spot on.

Well: Barbie. I don't think "brilliant" is too big a word. A masterpiece of imagination. @cinemaxwell, I can see why you kept going back.
