The Great Night: A Novel | 
so-soI am not sure how I feel about this one. It was like a train wreck that I couldn't look away from 😂 I picked it up because it was described as a retelling of A Midsummer Nights Dream and while the basic structure is there, it veers off course quickly. Giving it a so-so because I can't stop thinking about the madness and there's a lot still to unpack.
Finished for #OutstandingOctober @Andrew65
Spending the afternoon enjoying some music, sunshine, and a good book at the US National Whitewater Center's Tuck Fest.
Happy Saturday y'all ☺️
I went to the library today to pick up a book I had on hold and when I got there they told me another of my holds had come in early. Yaaayyy! 😊

7 days 7 covers. Post a book cover you love. No explanation, no information on the book. Just a cover you love.
Day 2
Chris Adrian retells the take off A Midsummer Night's Dream in Buena Vista Park, San Francisco and it is is a thing of dark, twisty, magical beauty #downinthepark #nuyear

Perfect day for the #retelling prompt on the #sizzlinsummerbooks challenge. This is a retelling of A Midsummer Night's Dream which was already on my radar but when @Moray_Reads posted this gorgeous UK cover by Fables cover artist James Jean, well... #bookmail
This looks too good to relegate to the TBR. I am planning on reading this very soon.
pickWhat a glorious novel, possibly my favourite by Chris Adrian, and I've loved all of them. This take on A Midsummer Night's Dream is raucously funny and wonderfully inventive but it's also dark and unsettling and bone-achingly sad and the fantastical elements linguistic playfulness only throw the keen insight into love and loss and grief into sharper relief. Any more details would just do you a disservice.
I absolutely love these Granta covers of Chris Adrian's books. They're the perfect mix of beautiful and unsettling, just one more to get in this style
