‘The Nightingale’ by Kristin Hannah Tops Holds Lists | Book Pulse

Reading the West Awards Longlists | Book Pulse

PREMIUM

Whistle

The novel’s action moves back and forth between the obliteration of the town in 2001 and a final confrontation with Nabler 20 years later. It’s all very Stephen King–ish but somehow too much; the bouncing back and forth between past and present doesn’t help. Not one of Barclay’s best.
PREMIUM

Mycocosmic

While Wheeler’s technical skill and inventiveness, particularly her ability to write what seem like two poems at once, are salient, they never upstage the urgency inherent in her subject matter: the complex interplay between the raw, lived experiences of ordinary life and the uncertain, unknowable forces--he mycelium--that generate those experiences.
PREMIUM

Rich in historical examples and scientific research, this groundbreaking book highlights insidious sociopolitical factors that have impacted the ways women and girls have been excluded from or minimized by sport, as well as the legal, institutional, and social pressures that have hindered women from finishing strong in the race toward equity.
PREMIUM

Ted Bell’s Monarch

Steck (author of the Matthew Redd thrillers) continues the swashbuckling style of Bell, successfully juggles several plotlines, and lovingly details weapons and cars in what he aptly terms Hawke’s “globe-trotting, England-saving escapades.” Hints of James Bond, Indiana Jones, and even Tom Swift will help blur readers’ disbelief, as the action never stops. Fans of the series will approve.

PREMIUM

Fundamentally

While promoted as dark humor, Younis’s debut sometimes falls short in this regard, relying instead on juvenile jokes that can undermine the seriousness of Nadia’s mission and the trauma that the ISIS brides experience.
