Esther Freud has a new book coming out in May, my birth month, called I Couldnt Love You More. It seems a long time since she had a new book published. Also, Stephen King's new book, Billy Summer. Cant wait for that one.
Nothing here for me. :(
The descriptions, "If you like" make me laugh, I suppose it is just the phrasing but when you start each one with "If you like" then follow it up with "interrupted suicide". The pairing of such things seems absurd. Just me?

Yep, Cindy is correct! This is based on readers adding books to theor Want to Read shelves. Also, advertisers cannot pay to be included in editorial articles.

Working It Off in Labor County (Larry D. Thacker), which also came out this week, is worth a read if you're in the market for weird and dryly humorous short tales set in rural America.

The Four Winds, without hesitation
Fan of Kristin Hannah, looking forward to reading The Four Winds.
Kristen Hannah book looks fine, two of her books have rated very high with me.
