Devourer of Books

Four of the books I reviewed this month are on sale today, each of them books I really enjoyed:

Sweetsmoke by David Fuller - My Review - Purchase this book

“Sweetsmoke” is the story of Cassius, a slave on a Virginia plantation, during the Civil War.  This book You can also read a Q&A with David Fuller here.

The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti - My Review - Purchase this book

This is a highly entertaining story about Ren, the one-handed orphan thief who wants nothing more than to find his family.

American Savior by Roland Merullo - My Review - Purchase this book

What if Jesus came back to run for the American Presidency?  This funny, satirical book holds the answer.  Belief is taken seriously, human institutions are not.

Matrimony by Joshua Henkin - My Review - Purchase this book

“Matrimony” is a wonderful character-driven novel about a couple that meets in college and (can you guess from the title of the book?) gets married.  We follow their ups and downs for the next 15 years, through sickness and health, through good times and bad.  I will actually be giving away a copy of this book, so check back later today!

Stumble It!
