Lo! After these many long years we are finally bringing #WeirdBookWednesday videos over to #BookSky
You probably won't like Barbara, the narrator of Jordy Rosenberg's new novel, but you might end up learning a lot from her. @jordyrosenberg.bsky.social reads in Cambridge Wednesday March 18, at 7PM.

We love Porter Square Books, WEIRD books and books by Valeria Luiselli! #WeirdBookWednesday
I know #WeirdBookWednesday isn't a thing yet, but we're going to keep trying! Not only is The Story of My Teeth really weird, it's also delightful! & one of my all time favs

CW: teeth stuff obviously, & Clown-themed modern art installation, slightly less obviously

bumping the weirdest book I’ve read in awhile (complimentary) for #WeirdBookWednesday

I endorse this #WeirdBookWednesday message
With Solenoid landing on the long list for the International Man Booker Prize, it's going to be the #WeirdBookWednesday uh, book! Unlike anything you've ever read, Solenoid is one of those books that will have even the most prolific readers shouting, "How does he come up with this stuff?!"

It's everybody's favorite scantily observed #BookSky tradition! #WeirdBookWednesday Though it's not out yet, the weather is making me think of Strange & Perfect Account from the Permafrost. It's an oddly quiet & delightful tale from our friends @sandorfpassage.bsky.social

I can only assume #BookSky was waiting with bated breath for this week's #WeirdBookWednesday but trust me, the wait was worth it! Folks, Revenge of the Scapegoat is...it's just so goddamn weird. You will never know what's coming on the next page.

A beautifully baffling book about the peripatetic wanderings of your own mind through the hotels, hallways, & postcards of the protagonists, or about the instability hiding in every apparently solid building. The Incompletes is a quintessential #WeirdBookWednesday

I'm gonna do 2 books for today's #WeirdBookWednesday to help you take advantage of our "it's too damn cold" free media mail shipping! We'll do one for adults & one for kids! (Cause, honestly, kids are likely the weirdest people you've ever met.) Here we go....

Hey #BookSky Josh was at a conference this morning so couldn't do a #WeirdBookWednesday rec this week. Instead I'm wondering if you all would appreciate:
1. Weird Bookstore Dad/Weird Book Wednesday Merch of some kind
and/or
2. A Weird Bookstore Dad Holiday Gift Guide for Weirdos

OK! Setting a slack reminder for next week for #WeirdBookWednesday But while, I've got you, if you know anyone interested in an absolutely decadent novel of food writing, sex, murder, and, uh, an activity that combines them all, we can recommend one! www.portersquarebooks.com/book/9781951...

For ##WeirdBookWednesday Ban En Banlieu, from Nightboat, 1 of the small presses that had their NEA grants canceled & a perfect example of why small independent publishing is vital to literary culture www.portersquarebooks.com/book/9781937...

Probably should get #WeirdBookWednesday done before things get too out of hand. Imagine a novel composed of absurdist chorus monologue AND it's own gonzo literary criticism. Good news, you don't need to IMAGINE it! You can read it!
December 18, 2024 at 2:12 PM
Well, hey! A certified #WeirdBookWednesday is a finalist for a National Book Award in fiction! If you need a whaling novel with very little whaling & and unspecified pallor of dread woven throughout mundane experiences all told in beautiful, pensive prose, North Sun is your book!

Hi #BookSky We're a bit up against it today so you'll need to recommend #WeirdBookWednesday books to each other. You can do it! (Ya weirdo!)
October 15, 2025 at 7:35 PM
We find ourselves in another #WeirdBookWednesday Today, we feature The Long Form by Kate Briggs. Since all of us were born & cared for in some capacity, Briggs' intellectual exploration of caregiving for an baby shouldn't be unusual, but, well. Oh, there's a whole lot about Tom Jones (the novel!)
