Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

 

This is not my typical book to read, but it kept showing up on so many "Best of 2020" lists so I gave it a try...and enjoyed it!  There is a lot going on in this thriller, more than just the chlling spooky stuff.  The book deals with colonialism, eugenics, fungus and more.  I enjoyed it!

Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam

Loved this book and it has a very unexpected ending. At least for me.  It's gotten a lot of attention of late, made a lot of "best" lists, but not all readers like it.  I can understand why, for certain readers.

But I wanted to discuss immediately with someone after I finished it and had no one who had read it.  I made my husband read it and he loved it too.  

And we talked about it!

Girl with the Louding Voice (again!)

Read this again for book club and liked it even more than the first time I read it.  Makes me realize how the reading experience is often better the second time around!
