I adored this modern day fairy tale and Ann Patchett‘s gorgeous prose. It was made all the more enjoyable due to Tom Hanks‘ narration.

This image might be hard to read, but I loved that author Rob Hart took the time to explain his dedication to Maria Fernandez and how her untimely death inspired his novel. ‘The Warehouse‘ continues to resonate with me long after I finished it.

This one is well worth the 800 page investment!

Reread this amazing novel of historical fiction. Still a favorite!

Only 300 pages left! 😉

All the feels with this one! An LGBT love triangle that takes place in 1989-90. I‘m so glad it‘s being adapted for film

It wasn‘t good to begin with and just got dumber by the minute. 🙁

Beautiful written story spanning 40 years and focusing on the families of two police officers who went through the academy together. One of the best books I‘ve read this year.

Charming romance! Loved it. ❤️

A heartfelt story of a mother and son. I was sad to see it end.

Detective Barry Sutton is a sad soul. Divorced and his only child dead, he's still got his work. A call reporting a potential jumper from a Manhattan high rise puts Barry into contact with a woman claiming she suffers from False Memory Syndrome. Barry's encounter with her leads him to investigate a few of the things she mentioned and ultimately change his life (repeatedly!)
'Recursion' is going to be one of my favorite books of 2019.

Somehow I fell in love with Professor Chandrasekha--Chandra to most, Charles to his ex-wife, the NOT winner of the Nobel Prize in economics (thus denying him the privilege of being the fifteenth member at his university to claim this title) and charming, fussy, prickly, often confused nearly 70-year old academic who suddenly finds himself forced into taking a sabbatical after an an accident and health scare. I was sad when the book was over.

So first off I had to learn what the heck hyperbaric oxygen therapy is as it's a big plot point in the book. When an HBOT experience takes a dramatic turn that takes two lives, an investigation ensues. When the focus turns to the mother of one of the victims and a series of thing she has said and done become damning *evidence* against her. Great book!

Thank you for the ARC, Minotaur Books! A bit slow at first, but overall a twisty, intimate thriller.

I found this one delightful and quite moving at times.

I enjoyed this one. Thank you for the arc, #stmartinspress. #tysiaf #thingsyousavebook #katherinecenter

I enjoyed the first half of this book much more than the second half. 😐

Connell is popular and good-looking. Marianne is perceived as being odd, intellectual, and possesses the kind of beauty and fashion choices that will be appreciated more when she is older. You'd not be wrong if you think I described a modern day/Irish version of 'Pretty in Pink' but this novel is a bit more reminiscent of Jane Austen's work and it's probably not a coincidence she is one of Connell's favorites. I enjoyed it a great deal.

Re-reading this book is such a pleasure. I love Neil Gaiman.

I'm not sure what interested me about this book, but I've always loved the look of the monster from Creature from the Black Lagoon. Now I'm realizing Milicent Patrick, born Mildred Rossi, and the creator of this look was robbed of credit for her work apparently due a jealous colleague (Bud Westmore, Universival). I found a few parts of Rossi's/Patrick's early life a tad dry, but her story is one that should be known.

Squee! I love receiving ARCs. 😁

A stand alone mystery/thriller from Harlan Coben. I have devoured his books for years now. This one reliably puts readers through the paces with a few twists that are hard to see coming.

As a long term mythology nerd and professor of Homeric epics, I bow to Madeline Miller and her ability to tell countless tales of mythology through the lens of Circe.

This book—oh em gee! What a fun, nasty thriller!

Wonderful novel about two women from different eras and different countries who are drawn to the same piano.

Almost finished!

The mother/daughter relationship was my favorite part of this novel.

I had a few quibbles (far too many pop culture references at times that don't age well), but this is a worthy followup to ‘The Hate U Give‘~

Ultimately I liked it and there was one twist I didn‘t see coming. One big complaint: I would have loved a lot less telling --”Daisy was gorgeous; Daisy never wore a bra” yada and more overall action.

At some point I found myself frequently checking how much longer I had left to read with this one. I was intrigued at first but at the halfway point I began to lose interest. So many twists at the end. Too many for this reader.

Just started!

Enjoying this one quite a bit! (Thank you for the recommendation, Sherri.)

Beautifully written saga about what happens to one extended family when the parents go to jail. Read it!

Sweet, funny fish out of water story about black Canadian teen Norris‘s awkward relocation to Austin. Norris‘s observations are priceless.

Compelling, often frightening novel. Sylvie is a great strong protagonist.

I‘m enjoying this one so far! Anyone else like this novel?

Perfect vacation book, but perhaps not if you‘re in a small chartered plane flying over the Rockies!😉

Six different stories set in a body modification obsessed future—this one is thought-provoking though a few of the stories were far less engaging than others.

Joann Chaney is fast becoming a favorite! Creepy, great payoff. 😉

Still gutted. 😢❤️#yale

I‘ve always loved this book and Neil Gaiman in general. My husband and daughter saw him speak in Denver and surprised me on Christmas with an autographed copy of American Gods. 😍

Nasty, biting gem of a novel.

Everything about this book made me happy!

Loved the authors‘ previous books, but this collaboration was kind of meh. I will say I loved the support characters.

Pretty good so far!

So much crazy fun!

I need to read more Seanan McGuire.

Enjoyable weekend reading.
