The Bullet Swallower. A beautiful magical realism story of redemption and generational curses set in the Old West.
Eddie Winston is Looking for Love by Marianne Cronin. Such a sweet protagonist in a lovely story about love and loss.
tie between never let me go by kazuo ishiguro and the circle by dave eggers. both were for my contemporary lit class and they’re so different from each other but sooooo good
Best reread was either "My Darling Dreadful Thing" or "Persephone Rising". My favorite new read in September was probably "Bat Eater and other Names for Cora Zeng" but "Buffalo Hunter Hunter" was really good. For Nonfiction, hands down "By Rust of Nail & Prick of Thorn". I was so disappointed in my reading of Butter, I wanted it to be so much 'butter' than it was.
Old School Indian by Aaron John Curtis. I’m still processing this book. It’s beautifully written and unexpected.
















hmmm I'd say My Friends by Fredrick Backman
