"One glance at a book and
you hear the voice of another person,
perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years.
To read a book is to voyage
through time."
Carl Sagan

I’m excited to see some terrific books coming out. BI am a big fan of Amor Towers, happy to see he has a new one out; Christopher Reich starts a new CIA thriller series with his new one; Richard Osman begins a new series in We Solve Murders. If you haven’t read Robert Dugan, C.J. Tudor, Don Winslow, a few authors you should be reading and now might be a good time to start. The books coming out in April have something for everyone. I love when this happens! Hopefully one or two catch your attention.
Kristin Hannah’s book, The Women, is the book everyone has been reading and talking about. I just finished it and have to say it didn’t disappoint. Maybe it’s the time it’s set in, 1965, America was becoming more involved in Vietnam, snippets of the music from the time. For me it was a bit of a nostalgic trip for me of the time and the music.
Hannah focused on the women nurses who went to Vietnam and gave them their much deserved credit.
“The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.”
Elizabeth Hardwick
