Marrying the Ketchups
Jennifer CloseCory OldweilerMy latest for @StribBooks on Jennifer Close’s lovingly lived-in MARRYING THE KETCHUPS, about a restaurant-owning family in Chicago. I’ve worked in a lot of restaurants, including 10+ yrs slinging drinks in a family-owned place. This novel is a delight.

Jess WalterCory OldweilerFans of Jess Walter's novel "Beautiful Ruins" will likely be thrilled by the titular story of his new collection ... It's the longest story in the collection, but you will wish it was even longer — these characters are as enjoyable as any Walter has created.

Hanna PylväinenCory Oldweiler[This] is the best type of historical fiction — electrifying, edifying and set in an utterly enthralling place and time that you would probably rather not experience firsthand, in this case the unforgiving expanse of Scandinavia north of the Arctic Circle in the early 1850s.

Jane SmileyCory Oldweilerincongruously cozy...For a story centered around sex work, the novel is remarkably wholesome...Smiley’s ability to deliver salient social commentary wrapped in such an inviting murder mystery shows that you(don't) need to bludgeon your readers with criminal minds, blood, and guts

Johanne Lykke HolmCory OldweilerOne of my favorite books I read this year is Johanna Lykke Holm’s gently fantastical fable STREGA. The English translation by Saskia Vogel is a lyrical, entrancing masterpiece that completely swept me away. Thanks to @StribBooks for letting me gush. https://t.co/IrnjxWG2Pt
