2018 draws to a close, I’m continuing a favorite tradition of mine and sharing my year-end lists. It gives me a moment to pause and reflect on the year through the books, movies, and music that I found most thought-provoking, inspiring, or just plain loved. It also gives me a chance to highlight talented authors, artists, and storytellers – some who are household names and others who you may not have heard of before. Here’s my best of 2018 list - I hope you enjoy reading, watching, and listening.

I think Twitter is the exact opposite of a book. A book is such a considered thing, such a safe space of the mind where you just go to and it’s not immediately interactive and it has different eyes on it. Twitter, for me … is just an impulsive rash response.

What works now is content that galvanizes people. Instagram pages that turn into book deals have followers that do more than just smile and keep scrolling. These pages can show that the content is being reposted and shared to people who aren’t even on Instagram.

For those enamored of Ferrante’s savage world, this expansion of the heart, along with a vision of the secret nerves that course through history, is a revelation. Many would argue that the books’ direct engagement of a reader’s empathy — a quality men have been shown to lack, at least in comparison to women — is exactly what good literature is supposed to do.

The desire to buy more books than you can physically read in one human lifetime is actually so universal, there’s a specific word for it: tsundoku. Defined as the stockpiling of books that will never be consumed, the term is a Japanese portmanteau of sorts, combining the words “tsunde” (meaning “to stack things”), “oku” (meaning “to leave for a while”) and “doku” (meaning “to read”).

There’s a market for diverse books, and readers are hungry for a broader spectrum of lived experience in their literature. Women want to read about themselves, and domestic thrillers represent an opportunity to dig deeply into the lives of women in a way that counters misogynistic trends in fiction, but the genre is falling short as it fails to dig deeper into the full spectrum of what it means to be a woman living in a man’s world.

I feel like 'fun' is frequently dismissed as a quality of a book, usually played down as escapism or, usually, just as a side note. Few people actually talk about what a fun book means.
For me, it’s never meant escapism. 'Fun' means joy. It means the prose is exciting, the characters are great, the action is delightful. All of this translates to reader investment.
People who sneer at the concept of a fun book as mindless escapism may understand reader investment, but they rarely understand that you have to earn it.
That’s not to say fun is the ONLY way to earn reader investment. But it’s a good way. And it’s harder to do than it looks. Hence why there is a not insignificant number of dry, joyless fantasy novels out there.

To me the best books are the ones that make me SO ANGRY because like what gives you the right to write this well, you know? Beautiful sentences make me want to throw books and that's how I know the writer is killing it.
Like, this may be just me because I write, but when I read so called "good" writing that soothes me, I later realize it was maybe just mediocre and the soothing feeling I felt deep down was calm because I figured out how it worked. The writing that makes me burn inside is the real shit

17 Aesthetically-Pleasing Bookstagram Photos From 2017

I was attending the American Society of Animal Science meetings when the flood occurred. I first learned about it when I read about it on the front page of USA Today, a national newspaper. I grieved for the "dead" books, the same way most people grieve for a dead relative. The destruction of books upset me because "thoughts died." Even though most of the books are still in other libraries, there are many people at the (Colorado State) university who will never read them. To me, Shakespeare lives if we keep performing his plays. He dies, when we stop performing them. I am my work. If the livestock industry continues to use equipment I have designed, then my "thoughts live" and my life has meaning. If my efforts to improve the treatment of cattle and pigs make real improvements in the world, then life is meaningful.
