A tough and tender story of trust--earned, misplaced, and redeemed. Set in the present tangles of life and loyalty, THE ONES WE TRUST is a powerful exploration of love in all its forms.
GAI JIN James Clavell: Historical Fiction
Gai-Jin is Clavell's last book. Though not as good as Shogun or Tai-Pan, it has a complex and compelling story with multiple characters.
A MOTHER'S TIME CAPSULE: Elizabeth Havey: Short Story Anthology
Elizabeth Havey's collection of short stories show the sad, sweet,
scary, and truth of motherhood. Read them and experience the emotional
highs and lows of one of the most important roles women are blessed

THE GOOD NEIGHBOR Amy Sue Nathan: Women's Fiction
Amy Nathan's done it again! I was hooked by the first page and all in by the end of the first chapter. Izzy Lane's story showcases the ease of creating a new life online and the dangers of secrets.
THE MARTIAN Andy Weir: Science Fiction
This is a total Science Fiction rush! Brilliantly written, THE MARTIAN
is a great example of maintaining character voice throughout a
narrative. Andy Weir has written a compulsive, hard SF story that's so
human. Everyone who reads it will care about his main character. Bravo!
I'm taking a blogging break due to some minor hand surgery and the Holidays. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and other celebrations you may have. See you in January! ;-)
Zan Marie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the additions to my TBR pile. Good luck on the surgery and enjoy your break...and holiday celebrations.
Thanks, Rose! I'm planning on reading a lot of books to share in January. ;-)
DeleteI've heard good things about The Martian, but it's a little outside my reading zone. Maybe I should try it anyway?
ReplyDeleteI really love SF. This one can be a bit heavy on the details, but the character development is top-notch. And you can always fetch me with a good character. If you can take the science, I say go for it.
DeleteI've been hearing really good things about The Martian. Maybe that'll be my next Kindle book...
ReplyDeleteYou'll enjoy the character development, Deniz!
