THE GOWN author Jennifer Robson is today's #read99women guest, recommending this novel by @elisehooper , inspired by three real-life pioneering women who competed on the 1936 Olympic team. "Kinetic, mesmerizing, and terrifically entertaining." http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/4/23/read99women-jennifer-robson
I usually use the headshot of the recommending author for my #read99women social posts, but recommender/author/bookstore owner Robb Cadigan (right) provided this picture of Laura Lippman (left) at her Reads & Company event for LADY IN THE LAKE, and I just love her expression here. Read Robb's rave: http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/4/9/read99women-robb-cadigan
Today's #read99women guest is Tracey Enerson Wood, whose debut THE ENGINEER'S WIFE is out now! Her pick is THE BOOK WOMAN OF TROUBLESOME CREEK, which “brings to vivid life the women who rode horseback through poverty stricken and desperate places... to bring books and other resources to a population starved for them.” More here: http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/3/23/read99women-tracey-enerson-wood
Author Angie Kim's fabulous novel MIRACLE CREEK is now out in paperback, and she joins us on #read99women to celebrate! And to rave about Erin Morgenstern's THE STARLESS SEA, which she calls "Brilliant. Magical. Powerful. Mesmerizing. Spellbinding. Weird in the most awesome and delightful way." http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/2/27/read99women-angie-kim
Believe it or not, we're more than two-thirds of the way through #read99women! Today's rec comes from E.A. Aymar, who calls the tagged novel "a taut, character-driven read, the kind of book that begs to be read slowly." More on the blog: http://www.greermacallister.com/blog/2020/3/29/read99women-ea-aymar

I haven't been great about posting every day's #read99women recommendation here (lots going on, I think you all understand!) but they've been going strong one a day on the blog.

Today's #read99women pick is too obscure for the database! But Anne Boyd Rioux, today's guest, specializes in rediscovering women writers of the past, so it's fitting.
