pickFound this in my bookstore.
Shelved it until today.
And I just sped through it.
Shum fictionalizes a tale told to him by one of the last Faro dealers, about the last hand played in N. America. It‘s like Leonard or Hiassen in the PNW, with characters you must meet. It‘s balanced with humor, thrills, humanity, and magic. Like his MC, the author isn‘t flashy, uses no tricks. But his skill is a thing of beauty, and holds the reader enthralled.

pickAnother for #bookspinbingo! This also happens to be my regular #bookspin book.
I thought this was really engaging and a quick read, and I think fans of magical realism will enjoy it!
Thought I'd do a check in of my #TBRChallenge and I'm doing better than I thought considering how little I've read this month 😂
Started reading Relics and Runes but then I saw how long the collection was 🤯 more than 2000 pages - not gonna finish that any time soon, and I wanted to finish 2 boards by new year so I've focused on my #Print and #AudioBook boards.
Let's see if I can finish 1 more before November 😏
