S. Zainab would like to think she bleeds ink but the very idea makes her feel faint. She writes fantasy and horror, and is currently clutching a manuscript while groping in the dark. Find her on Twitter: @szainabwilliams.

This Riot Recommendation is sponsored by Flatiron Books and Dear Fahrenheit 451 by Annie Spence.

What would you say to the books in your life? Dear Fahrenheit 451 is librarian Annie Spence’s collection of love letters and break-up notes to the iconic and eclectic books she has encountered over the years.
