New Books

These books are in my shopping cart on Amazon:

How I Became A Famous Novelist by Steve Hely

Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver

The Year Of The Flood by Margaret Atwood

They're not all released yet. Hopefully one of them will be That Book. That Book that keeps you awake at night, That Book you think about all day long. That Book. I hope for one of those a year. Haven't had one yet. "The Hour I First Believed" is close to being That Book. It's so filled with trauma, though. Unless Wally Lamb can pull off some miracle...but then that'll make me angry to have all that trauma that rips your heart out and have it tied up with a pretty rainbow at the end. He wouldn't do that. Would he?

I'm placing my bet on Barbara Kingsolver to be "that book." I need a that book and she's good at delivering. Yes, I realize she's no Stephanie Meyer and she hasn't produced New Moon BUT I'm sure you're ok with that. :D
