In Memoriam just plain wowed me. I had a serious book hangover after finishing it.

I completely agree with you on Shark Heart. I’m almost shocked when people tell me they didn’t like it or DNF’d it. It’s such a beautiful story and so creative!

Pete and Alice was exactly my kind of book. I hope you enjoy it and that your library gets it soon!

That was excellent. I liked debuts too. So raw and fresh usually.

I recommended it and some people just didn’t get it. Would they have felt differently if Lewis had been diagnosed with a terminal illness instead of becoming a great white shark? What a great read. I have the Berry Pickers up next. Looking forward to it!

I think my favorite debut author this year was Madelaine Lucas. I love her book Thirst for Salt and feel it got hardly any recognition.

I loved Go As A River, but for whatever reason did not finish it. I’ll make a point to get back to it.

Also need to recheck The Berry Pickers.

I just listened to you on Sarah’s Bookshelves podcast on a walk!
