I had some time to kill this morning, so I stopped by Barnes & Noble and picked up these two books. The Son of Good Fortune sounds so good and relevant. God Shot is about a cult. What‘s not to love about that? I hope everyone‘s Sunday is relaxing and full of good books.

Next up....reading this one with my local independent book shops book club that has been meeting via Zoom over these past few months. Looking forward to it as it will be the one book I am reading that is not themed for October spooky reads.

Author Lysley Tenorio transitions from his short stories of Monstress to a full novel of the Filipino experience in America. Illegal immigrant Excel moves from place to place alongside his mother, a former B-film actress who scams older men for money. As the pair navigates through their illegal activities and encounters with unsavory characters, the pair learn to understand the meaning of who they wish to be.
