These are the books I read this month. Ratings are out of a possible 5 stars.
Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle. *** I’ve been enjoying this show on Amazon Prime and I like Dick’s other stuff so I thought I’d check it out. The show might be better, which feels weird to say.
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove. ***** My mom gave me this book for Christmas and I loved it. Funny and sincere and heartwarming and stuff.
Joe Hill, 20th Century Ghosts. **** This is a book of short stories. I’ve enjoyed everything Hill has written.
Blake Crouch, Dark Matter. **** Kindle recommended this one to me when I finished the Dick novel. Really cool hard science fiction set in the present day.
Josh Malerman, Bird Box. **** Another Kindle recommendation. Fantastic, creepy, psychological, post-apocalyptic fiction.
Chuck Wendig, Invasive. ** Yet another Kindle recommendation – I was on a lot of airplane flights in January, get off my case. Sort of a Jurassic Park feel to this present day science fiction novel. Kept my attention but didn’t blow my skirt up.
Blake Crouch, Pines. *** Another Kindle recommendation. Apparently there’s a show on Fox based on this trilogy. This is book one. I read the entire thing on a flight from Salt Lake City to Madison. It was pretty good.
