[Ladyslott]

Happy to see The Underground Railroad and A Gentleman in Moscow (which I am currently reading) on the list, not familiar with a lot of the other books.

[Nicole R]

Oh man! I have a lot of these on my TBR and need to move them up, apparently.

Aside from Underground Railroad and Gentleman.Moscow, I have on the TBR:

The Sport of Kings
In the Darkroom
Truevine
Hillbilly Elegy

[Tracy]

Barkskins was another terrific book, and I've heard so much about The Sport of Kings, it's on Mt. TBR. I'm reading Imagine Me Gone right now, and really enjoying it. I've also heard good things about Hillbilly Elegy. (groaning book pile, starting to teeter)

[Booknblues]

I've read Underground Railroad and in nonfiction In the Darkroom
and I am currently reading Imagine Me Gone.

If HF is the tag next month I'm definitely reading A Gentleman in Moscow

[Amy]

You won't be alone! If the tag is HF and even if it isn't, some of us will be reading Frankenstein while another group, including me will be group reading a gentleman in Moscow! Count me in!

Me too! Fingers crossed.

Hillbilly Elegy and Underground Railroad are both on my radar. Some of the others look interesting.

Thanks, Linda, for posting!!
