Chenneville: A Novel of Murder, Loss, and Vengeance
by Paulette Jiles

Another excellent book (10/18/2023)

Paulette Jiles is a national treasure. Very few authors can draw you into the narrative like she can.I hope she's still writing at 100!

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
by Hank Green

A Remarkable Book (7/6/2023)

What an a terrific kooky heart felt Sci-Fi book. Quite the ride from start to finish it was a page turner for me.

The Endless Vessel: A Novel
by Charles Soule

Quite a voyage (6/26/2023)

The author is a well known graphic novelist and screen writer who's created a fun historical fantasy. A different sort of plot that one's unlikely to have come across before. I appreciate his imaginative mind and would recommend this fun read.

Properties of Thirst
by Marianne Wiggins

Bodies of water (5/10/2023)

Reminiscent of Walter Stegner which is no faint praise..
"You can't save what you don't love".
I'll be saving this to memory.

by Jacqueline Holland

Vampires need love too (5/6/2023)

Excellent writing, a real page turner.

Old God's Time: A Novel
by Sebastian Barry

Irish through and through (4/26/2023)

My goodness this man can write. I thought at first that this would be a slow burner that took a bit of time but was gob smacked to find myself turning page after page. Really brilliant stuff here.

Infinity Gate (The Pandominion, 1)
by M. R. Carey

What on Earth? (4/21/2023)

Start of an excellent "space" opera series with a unique world building take. The characters are well drawn and the writing is first rate. Looking forward to further developments in future books.
