It's been a minute since I did a reading roundup. #CoSoReaders What have you been reading lately? https://samanthadunawaybryant.blogspot.com/2022/11/my-reading-life-since-july.html
@MaSherry oooh. Celeste Ng has been on my list of authors to try. How did you like her book?
@Samanthabwriter I am deeply moved by her lyrical narrative. I love books through the eyes of a child and oooh Librarians are crucial plot twisters. She's a great writer
@Samanthabwriter Just finished Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune. Now reading The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin.
@GrandmaJ The cover of Under the Whispering Door looks whimsical and spooky fun. Is that the vibe?
@Samanthabwriter It is a lovely, compassionate book that might make you cry. I wouldn’t call it spooky, but it’s definitely about life and death.
@Samanthabwriter just finished this. Barbarian Days A Surfing Life. Very enjoyable!
@Zooter Great cover. Is it a memoir?
@Samanthabwriter yes, but it’s a lot more than that. It follows the authors journey from learning to surf in California and Hawaii, in the mid 60’s and follows him through time on different locations, waves, partners etc. to present day. During this journey, he touches on many socio political, economic, racial, physiological and cultural topics while exploring some of the best breaks in the world. The detail in the descriptions of waves and currents and breaks is poetic and artful. Great read.
