I looooooooooved her first book In a Dark, Dark Wood, and she was an EFL teacher!!! So of course I totally wanted to read this book, and apparently so did the people of my library!! I had to wait more than 3 months for this book to become available!! It was great! A real thriller!! And a needed respite from all the horrors Donald Trump is setting loose on us.
7. The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald
This is a delightful book for a reader looking for a cheerful, feel-good book. A love of books and people fill the pages of this book!! :) There were so many times when I was like, "Yes!! Exactly!"
8. Binti: Home by Nnedi Okorafor
I was so excited to read this sequel!!!
9. Time Travel by James Gleick
This is a really interesting look at the concept of time and of time travel. It looks at the science, philosophy, and stories around time and time travel. It definitely made my head spin in a couple of places. Such a great read!!!
10. Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places by Colin Dickey
I wasn't sure what I was going to get with this book. Was it going to be hard-core belief in the paranormal or more of a dry recitation of facts about various places. Either way I was willing to give it a shot. I found it to be neither. He's not obviously a believer in paranormal phenomenon. Instead he categorizes type of haunted places and looks at them not only for veracity (and more often a lack thereof) but for a place in history. How does this place fit into our history? I quite enjoyed this and learned a few things as well!
