Serious look for serious book. A fun thriller from Phillip Margolin that does a great job of keeping the reader in doubt as to who's really the bad guy right up until the final pages. ⚡️📚💙

Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk uses a dual timeline structure in a very gratifying way. Highly satisfying and a very interesting structural choice.⚡️📚💙

Barbara was reading The Alchemist and found this passage that helped us get through this last month:

"Once you get into the desert, there's no going back . . . And, when you can't go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward."⚡️📚💙

The Wedding People by Alison Espach -- this novel does a great job of physicalizing the main character's change over the course of the story through concrete objects like the dress she wears in the opening chapter and her ex-husband's belt. ⚡️📚💙

American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins does two things really well: 1. Starting in the middle of the story's action without sacrificing backstory and 2. Moving between character POVs without causing confusion. ⚡️📚💙

Hardly groundbreaking to say that a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is good, but this really lived up to the hype. Shares several themes with my upcoming novel, The Lemon House Murders, like found family, unsettling new environments, and addiction. ⚡️📚💙
