Nora Goes Off Script

April 9, 2023April 9, 2023 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

Have you ever flipped the script on your life? Instead of behaving as usual you suddenly veer off, uncaring, allowing life to happen instead of trying to manage it? Nora does it in the laugh-out-loud funny Nora Goes Off Script, which is like a burst of sunshine on a cloudy day and exactly what I … Continue reading Nora Goes Off Script

Talia Hibbert is a Modern Romance Queen

March 5, 2023 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

"Sexy, Diverse Romance" to be exact I've read two of Talia Hibbert's books so far this year: Act Your Age, Eve Brown is the third in a series about the Brown sisters (I read the first two last year) and The Princess Trap is a standout standalone. Hands down, I recommend Hibbert as a smart … Continue reading Talia Hibbert is a Modern Romance Queen

Remote Control

December 31, 2022December 31, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ 1 Comment

My blog's tag line is one book leads to another because it's true for me! Here's how it worked with Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor. I read about it in a magazine and wrote the title down in my notebook. Months later I finished listening to Matrix by Lauren Groff on audiobook and was so … Continue reading Remote Control

Matrix

December 29, 2022December 30, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ 1 Comment

I seem to have established a tradition of reading Lauren Groff late in the year. The last book I read in 2021 was her Fates and Furies and it ended up as the final addition to my best-of-the-year list. And now at the end of 2022, Groff is once again helping me close out my … Continue reading Matrix

The Unfolding

November 1, 2022November 7, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ 1 Comment

It's the day before Election Day and therefore a fitting time to tell you about The Unfolding by A.M. Homes. Like our current political hellscape it's darkly unnerving. It's a political novel but it's also a testament to the power women have, the power we give away, and the power we can make our own. … Continue reading The Unfolding

Family Curse: Field Notebooks (1880-2020)

October 16, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ Leave a comment

First, I love a novella. Not too big, not too small, sized just right. Who has time for 900-page tomes? Not me. Short stories are great, I enjoy them, but they’re stories, not (mini) novels. Novellas rule by allowing just enough space to set the stage, round out a character, and develop a plot. Tenacity … Continue reading Family Curse: Field Notebooks (1880-2020)

Harlem Shuffle

October 1, 2022October 1, 2022 ~ bookthrasher ~ 1 Comment

New! Listen to me read this review here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/21Ri7o9hKABqfP7ublI0Kr News flash - Colson Whitehead can write! I know we know this, he's won not one but two Pulitzer Prizes (for The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys). Harlem Shuffle is completely different from those books but just as extraordinary. Ray Carney is a good … Continue reading Harlem Shuffle
