Four female cousins and their relatives endure the Year of Four Emperors.

Thrills and spills as the four cousins navigate personal and political turmoil during this tumultuous year. Absolutely unputdownable.

In the Distance | Hernan Diaz

My current read for my IRL book club and it‘s so good! It‘s one of my favourite niche genres: the “reinvented western”.

Sace Sounds so good. Just added to my wishlist! (edited) 2h

Tamra This one has been staring at me from my TBR shelves! I hope it‘s great. 1h

Ruthiella Apparently the author was influenced by Mary Shelly‘s Frankenstein when writing this. It does add an interesting layer conceptually. (edited) 1h

Tamra @Ruthiella wow, good to know. I‘ll be looking for the influence. 19m

The Safekeep | Yael van der Wouden

Went to see the amazing Yael van der Wouden this evening.

She is a huge Miranda July fan for all you All Fours enthusiasts!

The pictures of me are all terribly unflattering, but here we are 😄

AmyG Oh wow! 4h

Rebellion 1776 | Laurie Halse Anderson

I don't think I've read any other books that were set around not only the fighting and revolution but also while smallpox was also raging and how communities were trying to get ahead of it. Although this book was middle grade it did not gloss over the brutality of the disease in any way. This book would be an excellent addition to any history lesson set around the 1770s.

This historical fiction covered a lot without feeling stretched too thin. From wwi to the Great Depression, it covers #NYC theatre and baseball with a diverse cast of characters. I did this on audio and kept coming back to it because I “couldn‘t put it down.” Recommend.
