pickOnce again Michael Farris Smith has written a great book. Like most of his books this one is bleak. I would not call it sad; to call it sad is to underplay the emotions that you feel while reading his books. Thru it all there is a bit of hope. Once again I read this one way to close to publication date; I read too quickly. How long will I have to wait for his next book? It‘ll be worth it...Five stars. Truly a master class in what words can do.
I have 20 pages left in this book. I have been putting off finishing it. I actually even cleaned a room in my house, LOL, instead of finishing the book. I just don‘t want it to end. And, it will in 20 pages. Have you ever put off finishing a book because you just didn‘t want it to end?
“He tore his favorite pages from the books and taped them on the inside of his closet door…” WHAT!!??? Oh the carnage. 😳🙀🔪 🥊
1. Goodreads by year read. Notebook by author and book title.
2. I like all perspectives. I personally like the trend of multiple narratives and points of view in the same book.
3. I will be sitting holding my phone clicking on Litsy every 10/15 minutes waiting for it to come back. JK. Most of the time I‘ll be asleep. Then the rest of the time I‘ll be at work. #I‘mGood
4. Tag you are it.

And finally, my last post, thank you for indulging. A copy of the book. I have been looking forward to this since I finished Desperation Road last year, middle of last year. If this book is even a quarter as good as Desperation Road, I will love it. I love me some Lit Grit. My evening is planned.
And they included this pretty awesome bookmark. A real bookmark for a real book.

Lumeria also covers the dust jacket in plastic like you would find at the library. Unlike some the libraries they do not tape to the dustcover. Not only do they protect your book while in the mail, they protect your dust jacket. That is some mighty fine love of books there.
*The first on many posts* Last year my favorite book was Desperation Road by Michael Farris Smith. If you have not read it, read it read it read it. So, I could not wait for his next book to come out. And it arrived today from Lumeria Books in Jacksonville, MS. Seriously, you can tell these people love books: first off they wrap it in brown paper which they then put in bubble wrap which they then put in a book mailing box. #booklove
Michael Farris Smith is a rad dude (that‘s him looking at me while taking this awkward photo). I loved his latest novel. Dirty southern grit. Beat down characters with the hope of redemption. I read it in a sitting. Go out get this today!
I'm a little under the weather today, and I looked up from my book and 👀. (He's not allowed in here and I'm not sure how he got in?)
I told my editor I was frozen in place today, and he said, "Southerners don't know what to do with ice unless it's in a cocktail glass." That's not completely true -- I have a fire, hot chocolate, and super amazing books!
