I brought up Dunning-Kruger Effect during the Q&A, then explained what it was, and Ling Ma wrote this nice message in my book. 😍

The Tiger's Daughter | K. Arsenault Rivera
post image

I picked up these two novels after seeing K Arsenault Rivera speak at #WIBookFest this morning. She was witty and entertaining, and I'm really excited to dig into these Mongolian-inspired fantasy with two lesbian MCs. #queerbooks

Leftcoastzen I was wondering if anyone on Litsy was there.Looks like they have a good lineup. 5y
2BR02B @Leftcoastzen it was really fun! I went to six author talks, but there were others (Rebecca Makkai, Lucy Tan) I would have loved to have seen as well. 5y
Leftcoastzen I love book festivals . If I got my stuff together I‘d go to more . Been to LA , SF more than once, Tucson once.Always so much to do,hard to choose. 5y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk I‘ve got the first book but it‘s still TBR. The cover art for these is so amazing. 5y

The Immortalists | Chloe Benjamin
post image

I really enjoyed seeing Chloe Benjamin speak at #WIBookFest last night. Particularly about her struggles with anxiety and how they influenced her conceptualization of the Gold siblings- each trying to decide how to live with the knowledge of when they will die. I'm only about a quarter of the way through the book, but I can tell knowing more about her writing process will enrich my reading experience.

JanuarieTimewalker13 I really enjoyed this book! 5y
2BR02B @JanuarieTimewalker13 I'm into it so far, though I did find Simon's section to be a bit abrupt. 5y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I read it over 2 months ago...I don‘t remember Simon‘s part being short but I just take things as they come..not sure I would notice that.I think I liked his section the best, although they were all good...I think Simon is first, right? The first sister she writes about is really interesting too...forgot her name..she was the magician. The way that story unfolded was really interesting. (edited) 5y

There There: A novel | Tommy Orange
post image

Things I learned from hearing Tommy Orange speak at #WIBookFest:
1. He doesn't enjoy public speaking, but does it well nonetheless.
2. He loves both Nick Drake and MF Doom.
3. He once pulled a set of spider legs out of his own leg, and decided to include the freaky occurrence in his novel.
