Best Books of 2010s

Favorite Books of the 2010s: Quick Takes of 2016 Novels

This is a series of reviews of my favorite books published between 2010 and 2019. These are shorter reviews of good reads published in 2016. The Power by Naomi Alderman (2016) What can I say about this book? I know it will be very divisive--some people will love it, some will hate it. I loved … Continue reading Favorite Books of the 2010s: Quick Takes of 2016 Novels

Favorite Books of the 2010s: The Twelve by Justin Cronin

This is a series of reviews of my favorite books published between 2010 and 2019. The Twelve (Book 2 of The Passage Trilogy) by Justin Cronin (2012) This was a terrific read, if you like scary-as-hell, on-the-edge-of-your-seat, big-ass vampire books. And I do. I enjoyed going back to the beginning of the story introduced in The Passage and … Continue reading Favorite Books of the 2010s: The Twelve by Justin Cronin

The Passage by Justin Cronin (2010) The United States is overrun by vampire-like beings infected by a genetically engineered virus. The vampires in The Passage are monsters, pure and simple — monsters with a tiny glimmer of humanity trapped deep inside. … Continue reading Favorite Books of the 2010s: The Passage by Justin Cronin

Reading journal: Mid-February

Reading has slowed down, although I have one new recommendation to post shortly. I reread The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin with my son, which I think was a bit too old for him, but I still love it. I also reread Dracula on audio. I last read Dracula as a pre-teen or youngish teen. I don't remember exactly when, … Continue reading Reading journal: Mid-February
