Thanks for the invite to the weird girl lit party, Penny. I brought dip!

Love any list that has Convenience Store Woman (and Samantha Hunt. I haven't read Mr. Splitfoot yet, but I loved The Seas and so much of her short fiction!)

Terrific list! I'm adding a few of these to my Storygraph. My head is whipping around right now over _Bunny_.

There's more books than days of summer on that daggum list. You power readers are something else. Any chance any will show up on the Jupiter reading list? ;-)

No, I’m afraid. Just pick one or two good ones for the summer!

Started this list by adding some of these books to my TBR, then realized I'd end up adding most of them, so I'm just going to star the newsletter in my inbox and reference it throughout the summer instead. ;)

Love it! Though, I might suggest skipping the horror category. 😅
