Wow, what a timely post!!! I meet with my creative writing group today and by sharing some of this I can be "the smartest guy in the room" for the first time in my life! Thanks! All that is mine I carry with me sounds interesting! So many books, so little time.
They all seem super good but “Now you see us” certainly got my attention. Too bad I have so much to read already, but maybe I won’t skip it if I see it on my next trip to the book store. Just saying... 🫣
Thanks for so many wonderful recommendations, Gayla. Honestly, I don't know where to start because I want to read all of them! I particularly love a good legal thriller, so perhaps I'll start with Defending Jacob, which I have never read. I just finished reading Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson, a fascinating multigenerational drama about a Caribbean family, its secrets and a special cake that connects to the mystery. It might even have been a book you recommended or one I read about elsewhere. I enjoyed it a lot and can't stop thinking about that cake!
Thanks for these recommendations. I'm especially excited to see another Jeanette Walls book!
