Wire to Wire (Tin House New Voice)
by Scott Sparling
Jon's Comments:
"An exciting and engaging book that drew me in immediately. The characters seem so real, and despite the fact that they are all so obviously flawed from the get-go -- drugs, crime, betrayal -- you cannot help but care about them, back them, stay with them so you find out what happens to them. Sparling's writing is fresh and fast, and as someone with a deep connection to Michigan and especially the area that Wire to Wire is set in, I felt like I was right there all along, walking through the town streets, gazing out over the lake, listening to seedy classic rock cover bands and downing cheap beers in the local watering hole. Fantastic. This one is getting shared. A lot." (read more)

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
by Rachel Joyce
Bonnie's Comments:
"I read this book in record time and didn't want it to end. It's a beautiful story of a truly unlikely journey which Harold takes to visit a friend. The relationships between Harold and his family and those he encounters on his walk from the south of England to Scotland were both humorous and poignant." (read more)

The Illustrated Man
by Ray Bradbury
Emily's Comments:
"My first Ray Bradbury novel was Fahrenheit 451, but I fell in love with Bradbury when I read Dandelion Wine the summer before 9th grade. I'm discovering more Bradbury to this day, and as much as I love his novels, I'm even more entranced by his short stories. The Illustrated Man is an incredible collection of science fiction stories that are beautiful, chilling, moving and spooky. His stories bring up recollections of old childhood nightmares that are all too easy to slip back into. Bradbury has an extraordinary gift for saying just enough in these short stories to make goosebumps rise without belaboring the point. He is truly a master writer. I was saddened by his passing this year and encourage those who have never picked up collection of Bradbury stories to do so at once (from the wonderful Powell's, of course)." (read more)

The Stud Book
by Monica Drake
Ikram's Comments:
"A GREAT book. Made me laugh out loud and consider the reasons why people choose to have children. And just how crazy you have to be in order to make and want a baby. Examines the bonds that build a family whether the family is genetic or built from a caring band of friends. Life, death (and the great beyond), injury and perseverance are all wrapped into one book. My comment makes it sound serious. It's damn damn funny." (read more)
