Claire, not Clark. #ewgc

YESTERYEAR by Caro Clark Burke has just been released this week. Quite a head-spinning story involving a reality tv show. #ewgc

FIVE by Ilona Bannister is a lot of fun! Five people waiting for a London train and in the next several minutes, one will die. But which one? Very absorbing #ewgc

Pay the man! He more than earns it.

I recently finished THE AMATEUR by Chris Bohjalian. I have loved many novels by this author, and his newest one does not disappoint. In a certain way, it reminded me of MIDWIVES, which I read over 25 years ago. #ewgc

I’m planning to read it very soon! #ewgc

Day 10 of #libfaves25 is HOW TO LOSE YOUR MOTHER: A DAUGHTER’S MEMOIR by Molly Jong-Fast.

Day 9 of #libfaves25 is BROKEN COUNTRY by Clare Leslie Hall.

Day 7 of #libfaves25 is FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY by Jennifer E. Smith.

Day 6 of #libfaves25 is a novel of generational trauma, THE BEST WE COULD HOPE FOR by Nicola Kraus.

Day 5 of #libfaves25 is RABBIT MOON by Jennifer Haigh. I have been reading this author from the beginning and this novel shows her growth. (Plus, we are alums of the same small college, #dickinsoncollege.)

Day 4 of #libfaves25 is nonfiction that reads like an incredible novel, FAMILY OF SPIES by Christine Kuehn. Members of a German family are spies in Japan during WWII and are significantly involved in the Pearl Harbor attack. Unputdownable!

Day 3 of #libfaves25 is an entertaining novel about competitive skating, THE FAVORITES by Layne Fargo.

Day 2 of #libfaves25, sticking with nonfiction, is JOYRIDE: A MEMOIR by Susan Orlean. Great writing, great stories.

Day 1 of #libfaves25 (in no particular order) is a beautiful memoir by Geraldine Brooks, MEMORIAL DAYS.

I highly recommend FAMILY OF SPIES by Christine Kuehn. Nonfiction that reads like a novel, this is the story of a family of Germans who become spies for Japan and are integrally involved in Pearl Harbor. #ewgc

I am in the middle of this one and can’t put it down! #ewgc

Congratulations!

Any chance you’ll list this one on edelweiss? #ewgc

I love this author but admit to being the slightest bit disappointed in WRECK. #ewgc

I found very intriguing JUST EMILIA by Jennifer Oko. The past, present, and future versions of one women are stuck in an elevator. I loved the premise and found it worked well. #ewgc

Recently finished THE POPPY FIELDS, Nikki Erlick’s second novel after THE MEASURE (which I loved). This is another winner! #ewgc

Can’t recommend highly enough the memoir, DESTROY THIS HOUSE by Amanda Huhle. If you liked EDUCATED by Tara Westover or THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeanette Walls, you’ll love this one. #ewgc

It’s up next for me.#ewgc

I absolutely loved BUG HOLLOW by Michelle Huneven. Great family saga. #ewgc

Very disappointing.

What a stupid question!

I’m itching for a copy also!

MURDER TAKES A VACATION by Laura Lippman is a great stand-alone mystery. A middle-aged woman finds a winning lottery ticket and her life immediately changes. #ewgc

My first book of 2025 is a memoir by the daughter of Erica Jong (Fear of Flying). HOW TO LOSE YOUR MOTHER focuses on an interesting mother-daughter relationship. It’s a quick read and I whipped through it. #ewgc
