TOP PICKS OF 2021
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
"Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation."
Kings of Cool by Don Winslow
Ever see the movie "Savages"? Ever wonder how they got started? "Kings of Cool" is a gripping crime novel flashing back to decades past. It's a generational story that makes you feel empathy for those hard to empathize with.
God Hates Us All by Hank Moody
A modern day tale of Sid and Nancy. This quick read is super fun and punk fucking rock. "Not in the traditional sense: she rarely pushed her weathered Honda Civic past third gear. The race for Daphne lay in the corridors of her mind, long and labyrinthine, and the girl needed her get-up-and-go. Cocaine, when she could afford it; ephedrine-powder nasal decongestants when she couldn't. But she was never happier than the couple of times I'd seen her receive a shipment of Simpamina, which was apparently Italian for 'seventy-two hours of sex, rock and roll, and menial household chores completed with manic gusto'."
Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts
"On Friday, July 22, 2005, Simone Knox ordered a large Fanta – orange – to go with her popcorn and Swedish Fish. The choice, her standard night-at-the-movies fare, changed her life, and very likely saved it, Still, she’d never drink Fanta again."
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
"The doctor woke up afraid. He had been dreaming of the old house in New Orleans again. He had seen the woman in the rocker. He's seen the mad with the brown eyes."
Deja Dead by Kathy Reichs
"I wasn't thinking about the man who'd blown himself up. Earlier I had. Now I was putting him together. Two sections of the skull lay in front of me, and a third jutted from a sand-filled stainless steel bowl, the glue still drying on its reassembled fragments. Enough bone to confirm identity. The coroner would be pleased."
