Meet Nellie Coker, a ruthless ruler with a fierce ambition for her six children, and her eldest son Niven, whose enigmatic character is forged from the horrors of the Great War.

I’ve just finished SHRINES OF GAIETY by Kate Atkinson, the seventh (I think) of her books that I’ve read. There’s a point in most of them that I’ve thought “Why am I reading this? It isn’t going anywhere!” And then it all wraps up very satisfyingly, not because everything…      источник

Given how often I have to write book blurbs, I think this is going to be a must read. And just the preview alone has told me that Ian Fleming's MOONRAKER might have instead been called MONDAYS ARE HELL, so it's already giving value.      источник

And since I'm catching up, I also just read OLD DOG 1 by @declanshalvey Clayton Cowles @HeatherAntos. Another great looking book -- high energy, don't-know-who-to-trust action/espionage with a tough, bitter, surprising lead and a winning series concept. Check it out!      источник

As an example of how behind on things I am, I just now read advance copies of THE LONESOME HUNTERS 1-2 by @MrTylerCrook, and issue 4 just came out recently. So, late. But it's an amazing book, and I recommend it highly.      источник

Less Is Lost
Andrew Sean Greer - 2022-09-20
Рейтинг Goodreads
Join Arthur Less on an unforgettable road trip across America as he faces personal demons and adventures with a series of writerly characters and his trusty duo. In the follow-up to the best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Less, Less Is Lost explores important themes of life in America, the enigma of love, and the stories we tell along the way with irrepressible wit and musicality.

I'm currently reading LESS IS LOST by Andrew Sean Greer, and I gotta say, it's a delight. The previous book about the hapless Arthur Less won the Pulitzer, but this one seems funnier, warmer, slyer and more confident. I am, as they say in France, digging it the most.      источник

"Mercury Pictures Presents" follows the story of Maria Lagana, a brilliant woman who moves to Los Angeles to escape her past after a childhood transgression led to her father's arrest in Mussolini's Italy.
