Greetings, book people! It is well and truly fall, and, at this point, you probably know how I feel about that. So I’ll refrain from shouting about how perfect it is and how much I won’t miss summer, not even a tiny fraction of an iota. Usually, I pick books for this newsletter from various genres. That’s part of the fun: talking about different kinds of books that share some theme or quality. But this week I’m breaking all the rules. Apologies to all my SFF and nonfiction fans out there; today I’m talking realistic fiction—specifically, family sagas.
I loved America is Not the Heart and still think about it and recommend to everyone. This book, Butter Honey Pig Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi, and Bestiary by K-Ming Chang have become my favorite debut novels. Such amazing reads.
