The Algonquin Reader Spring 2017 is a terrific look at some great novels, ones I now look forward to reading. Also loved the essays by each featured author. 5/5

Thanks to Algonquin Books and NetGalley for this fun read. Opinions are mine.

A terrific book sampler! Before each sample, there is an essay written by the book sample's author. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed each essay. As I read each sample of the books, I found only one problem -- they were too short. I wanted more to read! This has been the first sampler that I read where I enjoyed each book in it. Usually I find myself not liking one or two samples. I have just added them to my next books to buy list.

This is my first sampler of Alogoquin that I have read. It was truly a great surprise to find these exquisite book samples to read. Don't miss out!

Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book free from the author/publisher from Netgalley. I was not obliged to write a favorable review, or even any review at all. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.
