#Nevada My first Vlautin, won‘t be my last. Haunting novel about a girl who moves from LV to Reno to escape an awful boyfriend…she hits rock bottom but then gradually she picks herself up and things get better. Bleak but gradually more hopeful.

Melting Season | Jami Attenberg

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Catch up from yesterday which might have been more a Monday than Monday was. I was feeling particularly sweaty in the humidity while leading an online class & it made me think of this statue on the North Shore.

Humidity reigns.
Some days, I feel just like this…
Help! I'm melting fast!

We Are Called to Rise | Laura McBride

A great read about the impact of war, generational trauma, and the importance of human connection. Alternating perspectives of individuals in Las Vegas, centering the war in Iraq and the aftermath on soldiers and their families, as well as an immigrant family. In-depth inner dialogue and emotional lives of the featured characters who all struggle, but do their best. A great audio as well!

BarbaraBB I loved those one! 3mo

Rumoured | Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso

pick

Pop icon & Grammy winner Harlow Hayes is arrested for murder. Tabloid journalist Naomi Barnes, who still grieves the death of her sister, is to cover the story. Is Harlow Hayes a cold-blooded killer?
You could tell the fun Kelly and Kristina Mancaruso had writing Rumoured and the deep sisterly bond they share is palpable throughout the book in the MC and her relationship with her sister.
...

Yuki_Onna Continued:

I've got to admit that the direction the story took toward the end lost me a bit, and I don't necessarily think this is a thriller. #Rumoured feels more like a contemporary mixed-media kind of story with a bit of a mystery element (and many Easter Eggs!) mixed in. Oh, and the cover is stunning. A fast-paced, fun & addictive read.

Thanks to #Netgalley and Aria & Aries, for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review! (edited) 4mo
