petnoodle<p>So, finally, <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/SevenBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SevenBooks</span></a> - fiction. I decided to make them all fairly recent because I had to constrain it all somehow:</p><p>César Aira: Ghosts<br />Ned Beauman: Venomous Lumpsucker<br />Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladwell: This is How You Lose the Time War<br />Lucy Ellman: Ducks, Newburyport<br />Ada Palmer: Terra Ignota series<br />Leanne Shapton: Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry<br />Jeff Vandermeer, Area X series</p>
