Savoring the work of talented authors for the first time is a great joy. Thanks to Harper Perennial & Bibliolifestyle, I will be sampling the writing of 𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐝, which is, in actuality, the pseudonym adopted by the husband and wife team of Paul Vlitos and Collette Lyons.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 was the 03/22 Reese's Book Club pick & a bestseller, available now in paperback.
Discovered any new authors recently?
pickThis is an absolute gem of a novel. I‘ve seen it described as “quiet” which it is, but also makes its point with a slam dunk! I think many readers will find something to love in this novel, it‘s political, a character study, and features exquisite nature writing. The way Magee inserted the facts of the attacks committed by and on the IRA was jarring, intentionally so, I imagine. A phenomenal read. And spoiler, I suppose but I despise Lloyd.
LOVING The Colony from your list @TheKidUpstairs
So so thankful this was on your #auldlangspine list and the push to read it!
Dinner is always better with a side of book. 🥑
@TheKidUpstairs — FINALLY getting to my first #auldlangspine book from your list, and loving it already! I love the writing style, and I‘d love to spend the rest of the day reading it! But…life 😑

After I compiled my 25 best of 22 list a couple of weeks ago, I almost immediately started second guessing my choices, due to the exclusion of several titles. High among these would be this lyrical, magical novella by Sjón about a priest hunting a blue fox & an herbalist who rescues a woman with Down Syndrome from a shipwreck. Although I read this in August in KC, this would make a perfect winter read.

#12Booksof2022 On the eighth day of Christmas my reading gave to me...a month with THREE best of the year reads!
I picked the tagged as tops, because I think it's stuck with me the most, but August was probably the best reading month of the year for me. Three awesome titles from this month:
The Colony by Audrey Magee
The Trees by Percival Everett
Prayer for the Crown Shy by Becky Chambers
@Andrew65
so-so
