The Hearts of Men: A Novel | Nickolas Butler
post image
Mehso-so

The downside of writing a debut novel as good as Shotgun Lovesongs is that everything after can‘t quite compare. This is my 3rd Butler read and while the writing was still good, the storyline just didn‘t pull me in. There was also something about the flow of the book that wasn‘t quite right. But still….I will continue to seek out books by Nickolas Butler.

peaKnit I saw him last week. He is so vulnerable and likable. He is working on Shotgun Lovesongs 2! His debut is my favorite by him for sure. 2mo
Christine @peaKnit A sequel?? ‼️ Thanks for sharing! 2mo
Coleen @peaKnit I always think of you when I read one of his because I remember him being local to you. 😉 And really?? A sequel??? 🙌 2mo

Listening to A Forty Year kiss to prep for the author‘s visit to our library next month mostly because, gah, love the author. Meanwhile while walking in 90 degree heat in WI, I heard his great and cozy description of “toasty”. Auspicious! 🥵 I‘m toasty but NOT cozy. lol

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Tagged
2. It depends - if it‘s an automatic author could be stand alone, if it is series I want to have and loan out, I may pre-order. I try not to buy books often anymore. Edited to add - I forgot I preordered The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb on audible - I couldn‘t wait though I‘m close to the top of the hold list. 🤦🏼‍♀️😃

Quickie book and lunch break. Is there anything better than a punny cozy title? 😂 🍕

Pickpick

I don't think this is Butler's best, but it's still a pick for me. His characters are always so real and his books are never even slightly pretentious. (Not that I don't like pretentious novels, of course. I often do.) I think my criticism of this one is that there were a few too many plot points and not enough character development. Having said that, I read it incredibly quickly (for me! I'm slow!) and found it engaging.

lauraisntwilder This was my #bookspin for March. 6mo
