60 Songs That Explain the '90s | Rob Harvilla

This was my first 5-star read (not including reread books) for the year. Granted, this is a very niche book, so it‘s not for everyone, but it pulled my ‘90s girl heartstring hard. A fun reminiscence of songs, a few of which I either forgot about or did not know. I‘m not a big podcast listener, but it made me get so close to listening to Harvilla‘s episodes. #12BooksOf2024

Ruthiella The podcast is fun, if you ever end up checking it out. He often goes on tangents far from the featured songs or performers. 4d

Librarybelle Good to know, @Ruthiella ! 4d

dabbe Wonder if they have one for the 80s? 🤔 4d

Librarybelle Good question, @dabbe ! I‘m sure there is something comparable! 4d

After reading The House in the Cerulean Sea 2 years ago, I made it a goal to read all of Klune‘s work including his backlog. This one was a self-published novel in 2018 but it‘s being republished in 2025. (I think that‘s the new cover pictured). Anyway, I loved it. I put me heavily in mind of my 80s love of Dean Koontz books & movies where there‘s the government/military after a “special someone” with powers. I mean that in a ⬇️

DebinHawaii … good way. Without going into details about this book & the story, Klune writes characters I quickly am endeared to (Art is near the top of the list now) & ones that make me smile & at times make me tear up. Did I get a bit emotional finishing this on my Neighbor Island plane ride? Yes. Did I mind? Not one bit. It‘s not my favorite Klune, but it‘s still a good one & I hope more people discover it.

And headed to Hilo again, this time for an overnight & 2 days of business review. Big fun! 😬

In the lounge waiting to board with the usual coffee & breakfast. I‘m about midway through the tagged book & enjoying it. Trying to get through all of Klune‘s backlist.

A great story that allows the reader to expand their perspective or perhaps relate to the amazing story.

The Road to Dalton | Shannon Bowring

Recommended by a bookseller at Galena Book and Paper, she said it was one of the best books she had read recently and one of the owner's recent favorites. I hadn't heard of it yet, but it was too good of a recommendation to pass up. It's a quiet novel about the residents of a small-town in Maine and a reminder of the complex lives people lead behind their public faces. Beautifully written! I will read whatever this debut author puts out next.

sarahbarnes A sequel to this one just came out!
