The Phoenix Keeper: A Heartwarming Laugh-Out-loud Cozy Fantasy Romance Debut and Uplifting Ode to Queer Joy | S. A. MACLEAN

so good! a 5/5 for me. Slice of life focused ons magical zoo keeper just trying to get a critically endangered phoenix to breed.

Note: This has a heavy romance marketing. While romance is a subplot and adds to the story, it is not mostly about romance.

Glorious Exploits: A Novel | Ferdia Lennon

Grand so.

“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”

“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”

Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF

Wild Houses: A Novel | Colin Barrett

If the author is Irish, chances are I will love the book. This is no exception. Everything feels so real, so slice of life. Sure it may be a story about some criminals kidnapping a young man and forcing another to allow them in his house, but the story is so well told.

Wild Houses: A Novel | Colin Barrett

For an upcoming week-long trip, I'm limiting myself to one physical book plus my Kobo. These two are the current front-runners---Wild Houses and Horror Movie.

Which should I bring? Or should I bring something else entirely?

Other options:

Darkly by Marisha Pessl
Baby X by Kira Peikoff
The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones
Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood

Pogue I like goats so I say go with Wild Houses. Even though I know nothing about it. 3mo

ImperfectCJ @Pogue As good a reason as any. And one of the places we're staying has goats, so perhaps it would be apt. 3mo

BarbaraBB I liked Wild Houses and would definitely choose

Stone Yard Devotional

3mo

ImperfectCJ @BarbaraBB I've heard great things about that one! I'm easily distracted while traveling...is it likely to keep my attention? 3mo

BarbaraBB Yes I think so! 3mo

The Coast Road: A Novel | Alan Murrin

pick

Early on in this novel one of the female protagonists says in relation to marriage and divorce: “And if it‘s too easy to get out of, who‘d bother trying? […] In my day the worst thing you could imagine was being unmarried - you just went with the first fellow who asked you.”

This is a character study of what happens when marriage is the only option. How does this influence the women, the men and their children?

An amazing read

Leniverse This book is proof that it's possible for a man to write authentic and complex female characters. I genuinely had to stop halfway through the book and double check that the author was in fact a man. 4mo
