Friday Reads — July 12, 2026

It's Friday (hi, it's me Abby, posting on behalf of Abigail today) and it's time for Friday Reads!

This week, LibraryThing staff are reading:

Abby / @ablachly: Livonia Chow Mein by Abigail Savitch-Lew
Lucy / @knerd.knitter: Edge by Koji Suzuki
Zeph / @ZephCraven: The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry

What are you all reading this Friday?

The UCP big sale ends on the 15th (Monday!!) so I spent hours earlier this week going through the entire list to make sure I wasn't missing anything vitally interesting. There are soooo many interesting titles! What is a poor reader to do.

One book that caught my eye is only $3.99 on kindle, so I jumped on it - Value in Art: Manet and the Slave Trade by Dr Henry Sayre and, really, it's so interesting.

It's been ages since I've read a work of art history/criticism, and I'm really enjoying it, though I'm still too early to say how the arguments hold up.

Listening to Firestarter by Stephen King read by the incomparable Dennis Boutsikaris.
