Just cleared another physical book off my shelf - A Crown for Cold Silver by Alex Marshall. While there were parts of this book I enjoyed, the book would have benefited from some serious editing. There were certain sections that were just too odd, and then for all the verbosity of the author, other sections were too vague. For the ambition and the parts I enjoyed, I'm rating this 3 stars. I received this book as a free giveaway in exchange for my honest review. Unless you love grimdark literature, this is not one I would recommend. I will not be continuing the series.

Just completed another physical book - The Last Girls by Lee Smith. Lovely writing. I appreciate the author's perspective in capturing the unique privilege and sheltered expectations of the white southern female. With the book being set partially in the mid-60's, she shows how some of those expectations were shifting, while others did not. I really enjoyed the characters - they were not perfect, nor were their lives fixed by the end of the book. But they seemed realistic. My only criticism was I did not like how the author eluded to other women being involved in the adventure, then never really mentioned them until little synopses at the end. It was disconnected, and I didn't know who they were really or where they fit into the adventure. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

Just finished another ebook - Before the Fall by Noah Hawley. This is a gorgeously written and presented book! One of my favorite reads of the year thus far. The characters are interesting, and some of them present a nice parody of some real-life jerks in the media. I love how the author broke up the plot and unfolded the whole thing slowly. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars
