Unlikely Animals was one of my favorite reads this year! I don't see it talked about much so I hope more people pick it up after reading your newsletter!

Also I never heard of Sounds like Titanic and NEED to read that now. Thanks for putting it on my radar!

Every time I get someone to read "Sounds Like Titanic" an angel gets its wing.

Thanks for sharing this great list -- I’ve read some of these, have had another checked out of the library for a couple of weeks but haven’t gotten to it yet, and just added two more to my library request list!

I often recommend Sounds Like Titanic and Unlikely Animals. Unique reads that may not be everyone's cup oof tea, but I enjoyed both immensely!

What a fun line up. Straub's book sounds fab.

If you're ever looking for a funny memoir that can be read in two days I recommend, I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jeannette McCurdy.

Very keen to read Sounds Like Titanic - super-intriguing set-up - thanks for introducing me to this one - I had not heard of it.
