Thoughts:
C21st Gods #1 by David Tallerman and Anthony Summey: Reviewed earlier this month.
The Hoboken Chicken Emergency by D. Manus Pinkwater: My grade three teacher Mrs McCaggerty, who was my favourite teacher ever, read this book to our grade three class. Tesfa is in grade three. So I read it to her, although I got some sort of odd-Canadianized version of the story where everything was in metric rather than imperial and so all these New Yorkers in the 1970s are running around telling me how much the chicken weighs in kilograms and all that just seems wrong.
The Inkblots by Damion Searles: Review to come closer to the publication date.
I Love Dick by Chris Krause: Geoff: You always bring the strangest sounding books home from the library.
Avalanche by Julia Leigh: Reviewed earlier this month.
The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency: The Case of the Missing Moonstone by Jordan Stratford: I wanted to love this book. I cannot stress how much I wanted to have this book by Ah-May-Zzzzing, because I want another Lemony Snicket-esque series that I enjoy reading as much as Tesfa. But it was very much one of those kids books that are for kids, which is fine, but I’m not a kid, so I was not happy.
The Ice Twins by S.K. Tremayne: One of those books where you just want to slap each and every one of the characters to get them to stop acting like morons.
Bright Air Black by David Vann: Review to come closer to the publication date.
The Jolly Regina by Kara LaReau: Review to come closer to the publication date.
Favourite book:
Not that likely you had to ask. I think about this book in the back of my head as I go about my day ever since I finished it. Zadie Smith, come be my friend please. I can see everything in your stories so perfectly, the images in my head must be real, must be what you see too.
Most promising book on my wishlist:
