As a reminder, I do periodic updates of all of the books I read for fun on Goodreads and then compile them here. This is a roundup of some books I have read since January, including 2 backlist titles which is keeping me on track for one of my reading resolutions. See below for the authors and titles as well as my three words. Use the links to read the full reviews on Goodreads.
Audio
- Lethal White by Robert Galbraith [character centered, menacing, interesting details]
- The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World by Stephen Brusatte [popular science, lively voice, engrossing]
- The Word is Murder by Anthony Horowitz [metafiction, offbeat, engaging narration]
Print
- Severance by Ling Ma [satire, shifting time frame, character centered]
- The Blizzard by Vladimir Sorokin [surreal, atmospheric, satirical]
- backlist
- Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond [unsettling, compelling, moving]
- backlist
Now if you'll excuse me, I am disappearing for the rest of the week. I'll be back on 4/1. Stay out of trouble and read something great while I'm gone. And then talk it up to anyone who will listen.
