I think I lost count but my last #libfaves20 pick is THE NIGHT WATCHMAN by Louise Erdrich. The cast includes Thomas, a night watchman at the jewel plant on North Dakota’s Turtle Mountain Reservation , and a brave fighter for Native rights. Exemplary storytelling.

Currently reading SMALL WORLD by @JonathanEvison About people who built, worked for, and traveled on the railroad. Great for historical fiction lovers but also those who care about fully developed characters with a lot of heart. Pub Jan 2022. #LibraryReadingWed @libraryreads99 https://t.co/5FPytlZ2aK

Loved CLOUD CUCKOO LAND by Anthony Doerr. Had to make an outline to keep track of the timelines to see the big picture. One of those times when a print galley would be handy. I’d be jotting notes all over that thing. Five stars from me! #ewgc

Day 6 pick for #libfaves20 is VALENTINE by Elizabeth Wetmore. Amazing debut. Tells the story through the voices of several women and girls in Odessa, Texas, a town where the oil flows freely but so do racism, sexism, hatred, anger, and fear.

Immersed in Barbara Kingsolver’s upcoming DEMON COPPERHEAD starring a young Appalachian boy in a hard-scrabble life. He’s one of those characters I know will stay with me a long time. #ewgc

I highly recommend WHAT STRANGE PARADISE by Omar El Akkad. Beautifully written story exploring the Before and After of a boatfull of refugees traveling from Egypt to Greece. A closeup look at the experience of one small boy named Amir. Can’t stop thinking about him. #ewgc

My latest galley read was ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LIES by Peter Swanson. It reminded me of something else but I can't put my finger on it. Anyone else read it? #ewgc
