The Rest, Fiction M-Z and NonFic
Fiction
California by Edan Lepucki. Post-apocalyptic couple are pregnant and join a community for the help a community should bring.
Hundred-Year House by Rebecca Makkai. Hundred year house? Let me tell you about 110 year houses. Filed stone foundation, old windows, old wiring, poor to little insulation in the walls, weird outlets in the baseboards, old plaster, cramped layout, small kitchen.
I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You by Courtney Maum. American painter tries to woo his wife after the wife learns of his mistress.
The Quick by Lauren Owen. I like the title. Sister goes looking for her brother in 1893 London and finds a supernatural, and dangerous, side of the city.
Eden in Winter by Richard North Patterson. Not to be confused with Richard Price. Or James Patterson. Or T. Jefferson Parker.
The Rise and Fall of Great Powers by Tom Rachman. Something about a woman who was kidnapped as a child and raised by mysterious group.
The Heist by Daniel Silva. The movie with the same title was good.
Cut and Thrust by Stuart Woods. Sounds like a Bernard Cornwell novel.
NonFiction
On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City by Alice Goffman. Anthropologist Goffman lived in in a disadvantaged Philadelphia neighborhood for six years. Many residents were "caught up in a web of warrants and surveillance" by police and Goffman studied how the neighborhood residents lived and worked.
Perfect Theory: a century of geniuses and the battle over general relativity by Pedro G. Ferreira.
Act of War: Lyndon Johnson, North Korea, and the capture of the spy ship Pueblo by Jack Cheevers. No surprise that the crew were tortured.

After A Long Delay: New Fiction, A-J
Fiction
Inside Man by Jeff Abbott. Thriller by a guy who is not related to Megan Abbott. But, if we were to argue, we could say everyone is related, couldn't we? Abbott and Abbott would be related. I would be related to both Abbotts. Is this familial relationship close enough that I would try to crash at their NYC or Austin pads and ask to borrow fifty bucks to go drink beer? No, probably not.
Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews. Andrews lives in Atlanta. I was listening to the car radio this morning and Wisconsin Public Radio was talking to Jeff Shaara about the Civil War. He said people in Atlanta still don't like to talk about General Sherman. Sore losers.
Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian. Orphaned teen girl lives on her own in Vermont when her dead engineer father seen as responsible for a nuclear meltdown.
Shots Fired by C.J. Box. Cover image is a road sign peppered with bullet holes. I was in the Kettle Moraine State Forest- Southern Unit a couple weeks to go walking with my kids. After our walk I drive over to see where the public shooting range is. Along they way I saw a road sign that some dope shot up. Really? You're one mile from a range and shoot a road sign?
High Druid's Blade Terry Brooks. Swords. Cloaks. Wizards. Etc.
Wayfaring Stranger by James Lee Burke. Something about drama in post-World War II Texas and the oil business.
The Dead Will Tell by Linda Castillo. Police Chief investigates murder disguised as suicide in house where Amish family was killed 35 years previous.
Power Play by Catherine Coulter. The usual, I suppose. I've never read a Coulter novel but she has a loyal following and sells a lot of books. I think her author photo is the same. I wonder if the photo budget included a hair and make-up person. I wouldn't know the difference about the make-up but her hair looks sharp.
The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness. Her books do well here. Something about witches and time travel.
Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey. Then look for her.
Sight Unseen by Iris and Joy Johansen. Not to be confused with David Johansen.
