Once in awhile a novel comes along that absolutely enchants me. I love Harry and his unique friends (including his trees). I totally agree with Debbie McComber who says the book "is worth its weight in gold".
I really enjoyed this book about two women going on an incredible journey to find the golden beetle of New Caledonia. Funny and very moving
Set in Georgia during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War, this meaningful novel follows two brothers, former slaves, who seek out work on the homestead of George Walker and his wife. An epic story that continues to amaze me.
I loved this book. Usually i don't have the patience or time for long novels like this one. But the pages flew by. I'll never forget the love story of Henry and Clare. The time travel angle made it perfect for me.
One of my favorite books of 2022. In the near future, religious nationalism grips America, as a family tries to find safety in Ireland. Beautifully written with complex characters.
Epic in its scope, this amazing novel is about a Floriday family coping with climate change. Beautifully written.
Sweet story of gay uncle Patrick who takes care of his niece and nephew while his brother is in rehab. Funny and moving.
I loved this novel! I longed to be Nate Reminger, to have his writing career and his love for Farrell Covington. A fine book/
An excellent novel about two Jewish families who come together in unusual circumstances. Winner of the National Jewish Book Award.
What? Another WWII novel? But this one is very good and deals with a bookstore that has a book club for people escaping the Blitz in war torn London. Annie Lyons has created some very likeable characters.
Certainly not a new novel, but one of the best I've read this year. I loved it!
