This is the 2nd book I‘ve read by Leonard Pitts Jr and it was a fantastic read. He writes historical fiction beautify. We follow Sam who goes back to the south right after slavery was abolished to find is Love Tilda. An interesting storyline which isn‘t explored very much. I highly recommend this book and The Last Thing You Surrender, which was the 1st book I read this year by this author. Discussion tonight with my patreon book club. Can‘t wait!

Recently picked up these four books, which were each enthusiastically recommended to me. Have you read any of them? #Recommendsday

Matilda Security is a fun slasher film in novel. 8y
Liberty @Matilda You're the reason I got it. 😊 8y
WordWaller Oh, the author of Security came to my store and my coworkers LOVE her and that book. I added it to my TBR immediately! 8y
MrBook Not yet! But adding them now! 😊👍🏻 8y
mauveandrosysky Oh, The White Devil looks so good! I was not crazy about Security but I seem to be in the minority there. 😝 8y
thelizflynn Oooh man, The White Devil looks freakin good! 8y
Clarkknowles Wolf Whistle is one of my very favorite books and Lewis Nordan one of my very favorite authors. Whistle is about a very serious subject--a lynching--but it's also funny and strange and it breaks all sorts of rules. Even though I read it nearly 20 years ago, several of the scenes are still right there with me. Remind me sometime to tell you what Lewis Nordan said about how he came to write the book. I so hope you enjoy. 8y
Liberty @Clarkknowles Travis Mulhauser, who wrote Sweetgirl (one of my favorites of this year), just told me it's his very favorite book. Perhaps you two should talk. 😊 8y
megt I JUST finished Security and loved every second of it. 8y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Just took a screen shot because I want to read ALL of these! 8y
BekahB I've had The White Devil sitting on my shelf for a couple years now. I need to get to it! Stephen King listed it when writing about new horror he's really liked, which is why I bought it. I love the paperback cover! 8y
Clarkknowles @Liberty definitely! I'd love to. 8y
catiewithac Security was fun in a Hitchcock romance novel kinda way 🔪😍🔪 8y
