I agree. I don't normally read books with that much violence, but in this story if felt different. Maybe because of the personal development of the characters? I'm reading another Cosby in 2025.

went for the obvious one (gold in the title) with Darling Rose Gold. wouldn't go out of my way to rec it, but it's interesting.

I chose a KIS book, with the color gold appearing on the cover. I really enjoyed and recommend this somewhat long but sexy family crime drama, Age of Vice by talented author Deepti Kapoor.

I read bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Born To Run....a lot of going for gold (records)

[Book Concierge]

They bury a chest of gold pieces, and some time later a party goes in search of it.

The Indifferent Stars Above – Daniel James Brown – 4****
Subtitle: The Harrrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride. Brown looks at the events that led to and resulted from the infamous Donner Party trapped in a blizzard in the mountains near present day Lake Tahoe. He chose to focus on one particular young woman, Sarah Graves, who was a 21-year-old newlywed when the group set out from Illinois bound for California, and who survived the ordeal. This made the tale more personal, even visceral, and helped this reader feel connected to Sarah and the entire Donner party.
