I just received my copy of King Sorrow by Joe Hill. I love the names of the characters and, especially, that Arthur Oakes is going to Rackham College. Before I have even cracked the spine, the whisper of my favorite illustrator has been name checked. Autumn reading.

This was because I know you love Jaws. I liked that, of all things to choose to commemorate their anniversary, they somehow chose Bruce.

Hi BookSky folks,
I am a member of NetGalley, a marketing company that sends people ARCs, in exchange for a thoughtful review posted online. Is it ok to post a review, similar to what might be on Amazon or Goodreads, here on BookSky? Many thanks for your input.

Warm regards,
Nancy Murdock

Happy Spring!

Norman Rockwell print of a fairy whispering in a country boy's ear, most likely about all the enchantments coming, now that it's spring.

I thoroughly agree. I also love A Soldier of the Great War.

Thank you, Klaus and Garret, for feeding my brain some chateaubriand!

I love this story, too. Very rich, with a lot of depth!

Megan, I think you will love it. Brom is just amazing. He has written books with a key character ….. Krampus, Peter Pan, Lost Gods. His ideas are unexpected, his word portraits vivid, his characters breathe. He is also an illustrator of high caliber. Let me know how you like the book!
