@bmorrison9 Maybe I chose for other reasons, too, but the name! Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, by Olga Tokarczuk. A nomination for best title, and cover, ever.

Archer Mayor, Fall Guy. The latest in his Joe Gunther series. A confident police procedural in lovely Vermont. Car theft/murder leads to multiple murders and missing children with multiple bad guys. Lots of fun, quick read. #writingcommunity Full review: https://t.co/VJ1YlXHKTl

A review of Laurie Albanese, Hester. Another historical fiction based on the life of Hester Prynne, of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Very comparable to O'Farrell's Hamnet. Both intriguing, but a bit too lightweight. #writingcommunity Full review here: https://t.co/aXZ52y3M2Y

My review of Ruben Degollado, The Family Izquierdo. Better if you see it as connected short stories, not novel. Large Chicano family near border with all its love and trials, dealing with Catholic faith, black magic, dying patriarch. #writingcommunity https://t.co/euOgpzD4Fe

My review of Hernan Diaz, Trust. Masterful writer, not quite as enjoyable as In the Distance, but great as study of truth, as well as trust and bonds. Three novels within one, explores life of financial whiz and wife. #writingcommunity Full review here: https://t.co/WdqhXzTdbu

Rabih Alameddine, The Wrong End of the Telescope: Journal-like story of trans Lebanese doctor's time as volunteer with Syrian refugees in Lesbos. Authentic, unusual, well-drawn characters. #writingcommunity #amreading. Full review at https://t.co/5tEG0BLk8y

Review of Geoffrey Visgilio, Switch. A self-published book by RI author, fascinating look at a marriage falling apart. Fable-like, revolving around communication, mental illness, and Beasley the dog. #writingcommunity Full review here: https://t.co/m48fdi2nqo https://t.co/whT1T5eSJF

My review of Mohsin Hamid, The Last White Man. #amreading #writingcommunity Fascinating, reads like a fable. This is a novelist in control of his writing. Interesting commentary on racism if not a bit overly optimistic about the future. Full review here: https://t.co/LyfIG9pYVA
