SEEKING: I love character-driven books with heart and humor, and I'm looking for cinematic speculative fiction like Kaliane Bradley's THE MINISTRY OF TIME or Silvia Moreno-Garcia's MEXICAN GOTHIC; literary horror and imaginative fairytale retellings like Christina Henry's LOST BOYS or THE CHRONICLES OF ALICE; gut-wrenching coming-of-age books like MILKMAN by Anna Burns or MAURICE by E.M. Forster; and well-researched, inspiring nonfiction like WHY WE SWIM by Bonnie Tsui.
