Almost Sisters by Joshilyn Jackson, published July 11, 2017, William Morrow
Genre: contemporary fiction, Southern fiction
I am enjoying the unusual plot. I haven't found any stereotypes so far among the characters, who are complex and interesting.
Finished review: A realistic look at the South, through the eyes of a Southern writer from Georgia, this novel shows the people, towns, and culture as it is, as it could be, as she would hope it will be in the future. The good and the not so good, or what she calls, the Second South. Eye opening novel that tackles history, race relations, and a hope for the future. Excellent plot and character development.
A Hero in France by Alan Furst, published June 2016
Genre: historical fiction, spy fiction
Next on the reading list:
The Guests on South Battery by Karen White

A Hero in France by Alan Furst, published June 2016
Genre: historical fiction, spy fiction
| I found the book suspenseful and informative. A novel that shows what it must have been like as a resistance fighter during the WWII Occupation of France by Germany. The French heroes, some of them unsung men and women who made sacrifices and risked their lives to help save downed British airmen and others hiding from the Germans. |

ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Finished one and reading another right now!
DeleteI've only read one book by Wiley Cash, This Dark Road to Mercy, but I'm curious about The Last Ballad.
ReplyDeleteI read and loved The Almost Sisters earlier this year, but I had it on Pippa, my Kindle, for a while. Which makes me wonder what other treasures are hiding out there.
Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Isn't that killing? Good books waiting for you that you don't know about!
DeleteThe Almost Sisters sounds really appealing. Enjoy your reading in the week ahead, Harvee! I've finally posted a new review on my blog, and hope you will get a chance to stop by.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the blog, Suko!
DeleteI love the cover for Almost Sisters. I have to check that one out. Have a wonderful week of reading!
ReplyDeleteMary Sunday Roundup #30!
I just finished it. You won't be disappointed. Awesome book!

Some good ones here!
DeleteLooks like you have some variety. The Stylist sounds like it might be fun. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteA nice contemporary novel, it seems!
DeleteThe Last Ballad is really good! I got The Stylist too and am really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to both!
DeleteI passed on The Stylist, but maybe I should have said yes!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it as yet, but have high hopes for it.
ReplyDeleteI've got the Karen White book coming up and am really looking forward to it. I love books with a Charleston setting. Almost Sisters is on my TBR. I've heard good things. Hope you have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteThis Karen White book deals with ghosts, but it fits Charleston! Almost Sisters is very good.
DeleteAbout ten years ago I was on an Alan Furst kick. It's been a while though since I've read one of his books. Maybe it's time to revisit his books. My weekly updates
ReplyDeleteFirst one I've read, and I liked it.
