Just finished today. And I agree with you 💯. I loved Nolan, the beginning was so well done. I kind of fell it was Nolan’s story to be told.

Favorites for 2025: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy, The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett, There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak

Loved this book! Definitely in my top 3 of 2025!

Good point

They are doing it in USA too. Barnes & Nobles just opened a store in Napa that has 2 independent bookstores that are thriving. They plan to open 40 more across the country next year. Predatory business practices!

I’d say keep reading, the ending is something! And the last section moves quickly.

I do ❤️ Victor Lavalle though. If you can get yourself the edition with the new cover art! I loved having the book around just to glimpse that over now & again.

It was good, we read it for bookclub & it was a great conversation but also revealed all the holes in plot, hahaha, I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was just along for the ride.

Agreed! Best book of the year for me too! What one drop of water can tell us…….. sigh, the construct is just so lovely.

No private entity should be paying our military. It cannot be constitutional!

I loved There are Rivers in the sky! Hope you enjoy it too.

Trust, very unique structure

Agree, very interesting take on the vampire trope.
