Today would be a great day to buy a book from an indie press! Thread of some amazing recent selections to follow:
First, if you haven't dove into the VERA KELLY novels from @Tin_House , now is a perfect time. Start with WHO IS VERA KELLY? but don't forget to check out the most recent: https://tinhouse.com/book/vera-kelly-is-not-a-mystery/
Hezada! I Miss You, a 2020 release from @AwstPress = CIRCUS plus the Midwest plus lots of complex relationships: https://awst-press.com/shop/hezada
I've been screaming from the rooftops about WAYS WE VANISH by @toddedillard out from @okaydonkeymag all year, and if you haven't bought it yet, fix that https://okaydonkeymag.bigcartel.com/product/ways-we-vanish-by-todd-dillard
Short stories are the perfect way to break up a reading slump. If you've had trouble falling into a story, pick up @wrefinnej 's THIS. THIS. THIS. IS. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. from @splitlippress https://www.splitlippress.com/this-this-this-is-love-love-love
This collection of memoir/fiction by @tylachelleco is one that turned my concepts of both genres on its head. Absolutely a stunner out from @masonjarpress : http://masonjarpress.com/chapbooks-1/how-to-sit
COLLECTIVE GRAVITIES from @wordwestpress (by @PintsNCupcakes) is one of those lush short story collections that spans from space to the bottom of the ocean, but mostly focuses in the spaces between people. Highly recommended: https://www.wordwest.co/online-store/collective-gravities-p162059545
GODSHOT by @chelseabieker and out from @CatapultStory is a coming of age story unlike any other I've ever read. Phone sex lines, cults, and drought collide. Exquisite prose: https://books.catapult.co/products/godshot-a-novel-by-chelsea-bieker
OUR DEBATABLE BODIES is a timely and gorgeous poetry collection out from @PressAnimal and written by @marisabcrane

If you haven't checked out CITIZEN ILLEGAL from @haymarketbooks , you're missing a searing, lyrical collection of poetry that I read straight through, then had to go back to sip more slowly. Incredible. https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1183-citizen-illegal
If you want to surprise yourself with a gift next June, preorder @krysmalcolmbelc 's memoir THE NATURAL MOTHER OF THE CHILD from @CounterpointLLC https://www.counterpointpress.com/dd-product/the-natural-mother-of-the-child/
