While I have no problem jumping in the middle of a series, I ended up buying the first book, An Easy Death, on Kindle when it was on sale for $1.99.Īn Easy Death is set in a world where a flu epidemic and a depression during the 20th Century resulted in the collapse of the United States of America. It turns out it's the second installment in the series. I wasn't aware the author had a new series, Gunnie Rose, out until I received an ARC of A Longer Fall from NetGalley at the tail end of 2019. Those books are well-written supernatural tales with intriguing characters. I became aware of author Charlaine Harris' novels after watching the first season of True Blood on DVD in 2009, and shortly later, I hunted down all of the Sookie Stackhouse titles that were out then.

"I urge you to read Such a Fun Age." - NPRĪ striking and surprising debut novel from an exhilarating new voice, Such a Fun Age is a page-turning and big-hearted story about race and privilege, set around a young black babysitter, her well-intentioned employer, and a surprising connection that threatens to undo them both.Īlix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same. "The most provocative page-turner of the year." -Entertainment Weekly The Washington Post - Chicago Tribune - NPR - Vogue - Elle - Real Simple - InStyle - Good Housekeeping - Parade - Slate - Vox - Kirkus Reviews - Library Journal - BookPage It's 720 pages long, and at least 700 of those pages (un-scientifically speaking) are devastatingly sad.

They come to see where protagonist Jude spends the formative, troubled years of his early adulthood. Though it's just two blocks long, the abbreviated thoroughfare along the border of New York City's Tribeca, SoHo, and Chinatown neighborhoods is the site of pilgrimage for dedicated readers of 2015's A Little Life, the author's sleeper-hit second novel. Lispenard Street is precious to Hanya Yanagihara fans. He is the creator, writer and co-producer of the Netflix series CASTLEVANIA, recently renewed for its third season, and of the recently-announced Netflix series HEAVEN’S FOREST.

A spirited girl who adores her older brother, who goes away and gets involved in the early Irish freedom struggle, she works hard in the family home but does have ambition and a belief in her own destiny. This is a simple telling of the story of the 1845-1847 Irish Famine through the eyes of a 14 year old farmer's daughter.
