Last year I had my son, Matthew, help me make my monthly reading list on a couple of occasions. He did such a great job that I had him go through my massive piles of unread books to pick out some good material for May. And he did not disappoint!
When he picked The Faster Redder Road I was extremely pleased. This collection of early works by one of my fangirrl fav authors, Stephen Graham Jones, is a mix of short stories, excerpts, and essays. Rise the Dark was chosen for its cover (“It looks like a creepy book.”). The synopsis certainly sounds creepy, with a released killer on the hunt for revenge. And the reasoning behind choosing Herman Koch’s The Dinner? It’s Matthew’s favorite meal. Hey, I can’t argue with that!
Looking through my Goodreads groups, many of the books featured this month have been picks of the past. So I will use this space to ask you…What will you be reading this month? Feel free to drop me a line, I love talking books!
Until next time, stay safe and Happy Reading!
