A mysterious library that feeds off its owner, a secret cult in a small English town and a young woman fighting against it all! What's not to love? A creepy gothic novel that will hold you in its grip until the final sentence.
I did not know what to expect from this book and ended up being unable to put it down. Totally unlike what I normally read and full of scientific and mathematical concepts I know nothing about, I absolutely loved it! So strange and compelling. A look into how brilliance and madness can be inextricably linked. This slim novel fictionalizes the lives of 5 different physicists and follows them as they make their scientific breakthroughs and then breakdown. Some of them make their way back to reality while others never return. A wholly fascinating look at the triumphs and consequences of scientific discoveries and the people who make them.
Set in the early 1900's, Sven, who's never felt at home in the city, leaves for a mining job on a Norwegian archipelago. After an avalanche leaves him disfigured, he retreats even further from society. As time goes by, he slowly builds relationships with an eclectic cast of characters and creates a chosen family out in the fjords. Entertaining and ultimately heartwarming, you'll be rooting for Sven the whole way.
Loved it! Slow burn, character driven novel that keeps letting you up for a sip of air, then draws you back in. Not much happens, but everything happens.
This excellent work of narrative nonfiction highlights 8 locations in the United States and 1 in Senegal that detail a tiny slice of the history of slavery in the US. Clint Smith investigates how this country was built by enslaved people and focuses on locations that reckon truthfully with our history of slavery as well as those locations that try to obscure it. This well researched book takes us down the east coast and through the south, visiting locations such as Monticello, Angola Prison and Downtown Manhattan. This book filled in many gaps in my US history knowledge and opened my eyes to the fact that slavery was not just a southern issue. I highly recommend this entertaining and accessible book to anyone wanting to take a deeper look into American history.
This book was a delight. In a world that has lately felt very heavy, this is a sweet, thoughtful story. An antidote to the present toxicity of the world.
This poetry collection is one of my desert island books. Turn to any page and you will be transported by the glorious words of Mary Oliver. She is funny, heartbreaking and healing, all at once. This is the book I go to again and again, for almost any occasion. When a woman came into the store looking for something to read to her dying friend, this is the collection we handed her. Mary Oliver’s blend of spirituality and her love of the natural world shines through in every poem. These collected works span five decades and it’s a joy to see how her poetry changed over the years. What a gift to be able to see the world through her eyes.
I don't know if it's just because I'm a white lady born in the early 1980's, but I love anything Emma Straub writes and 'This Time Tomorrow' is no exception. I'm a sucker for a time travel story and this one did not disappoint. Poignant, funny and oh-so-satisfying.
It starts out as an unremarkable family, then slowly, a mounting sense of dread begins to take over. As claustrophobia and confusion grow, you begin to realize, along with the characters, that the world will never be the same. . .
This is a fascinating look at the woman who was “Jane Roe” in the Roe v. Wade case. She is an extra complicated woman who was, frankly, used by both sides of the abortion debate. I highly recommend this book, no matter which side you’re on.
I loved this book so much! It was strange and sad, yet wholly satisfying. It is essentially a series of connected short stories where previous characters show up briefly in later stories. It’s like an Easter egg hunt, piecing it all together. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
I loved this book! I'm a sucker for books that jump around in time and are told from different perspectives and this had both. Well written, fun concept and an all around excellent read.
