Sam is well outside his comfort zone this week, with a read of his first Nicholas Sparks book (it's not terrible!), and a GMA Book Club pick. Hannah's got an early line on the new Sally Rooney. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Here's what's on tap:
- "Counting Miracles," by Nicholas Sparks (lots of Bible stuff!)
- "Intermezzo," by Sally Rooney (it's "very excellent," if imperfect — everyone thinks the same)
- "The Light Pirate," by Lily Brooks-Dalton (a strong climate disaster novel)
- "Burn," by Peter Heller (it's a Maine book, turns out Sam's wrong and out-of-staters do get 8% of moose hunting permits; still don't think Maine's going to secede)
- "Westfallen," by Ann and Ben Brashares (some dark-ass stuff for middle readers)
- "The Serviceberry," by Robin Wall Kimmerer (here comes some anti-capitalism!)
If you liked "Braiding Sweetgrass," you won't be disappointed in Robin's latest.
