Historia
Louise Erdrich's latest novel, The Sentence, asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the book. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading "with murderous attention", must solve the mystery of this haunting.

Omg it’s covid fiction already
Revisado: 04-04-22
I enjoyed this book and had literally no idea what I was getting into because it was picked out for a book club. That said, very early I was like Tookie and Benji? What are we on the rez? Yes, we were. Should’ve known from the author. Then I thought it was a prison book. Then a supernatural book. Finally a BLM (from AIM perspective) and COVID book. No, it’s everything all in one. I enjoyed it a lot.

Historia
Fourteen-year-old Greg Dixon is living a nightmare. Attending boarding school outside of Boston, he is separated from his family when a pandemic strikes. His classmates and teachers are dead, rotting in a dormitory-turned-morgue steps from his room. The nights are getting colder, and his food has run out. The last message from his father is to get away from the city and to meet at his grandparents' town in remote New Hampshire.

Apocalypse book without rape & a happy ending!
Revisado: 11-09-19
I love dystopian and apocalypse books. That said, the amount of unnecessary sexual assault in them is frustrating. Rape is not a plot point. It doesn’t make your story deeper.
Anyhoo, back to this book. It has a happy ending, yeah! Definitely a good read.

Historia
Imagine living with a fear so visceral each day that simply walking down the street draws terror to one’s core. That’s the best case scenario for a woman on the streets of Juárez, Mexico. Kate del Castillo (La Reina del Sur) delivers a stunning one-woman performance that transports listeners from a New York stage to the treacherous streets of Juárez, Mexico, where thousands of women have been murdered in an ongoing epidemic of violence.

Brings light to a serious issue, but not solutions
Revisado: 10-26-19
I would like this performance better if it wasn’t just a vignette of the serious problem of women being murdered in Juarez but also talked about options/solutions/ideas to help fix it.

Historia
More than 15 years after the events of The Handmaid's Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third: Aunt Lydia. Her complex past and uncertain future unfold in surprising and pivotal ways.

Somewhat disjointed & dissatisfactory sequel
Revisado: 09-16-19
While I am pleased to learn about how Gilead implodes, the story kept me captivated, and the readers were wonderful, it just isn’t a great sequel. It’s a good sequel. I feel somewhat resolved, but the storytelling was disjointed and the parts I wanted to know weren’t always there, more about destruction and less about academics would’ve be fine with me.

Historia
Late Victorian London. When James Miller, the most respectable of Scottish businessmen, is pulled, dead, from the Thames, his daughter is drawn into an investigation which reveals a whole world of secrets and corruption. Alongside local detective Culley, Catriona’s search for her father’s killer leads all the way to the tragic truth behind the ghostly legend of The Darkwater Bride and the power of her deadly kiss. The Darkwater Bride combines the genres of the Victorian mystery thriller with the equally classic Victorian mode of the ghostly tale.

Great performance, not into the story
Revisado: 06-17-19
This is incredibly well read & produced. However, I found the storyline a bit too obvious and it didn’t flow as well as I like.

Too much about a sad old man liking young women
Revisado: 05-16-19
I like David Spade and he is funny, but far too much of this book is about him being single and trying to date women that a 50 year old just shouldn’t. It was maybe 20-30 minutes funny, not 3.5-4 hours funny. Just date someone closer to your own age (35+ min.) and you may actually understand each other!

Powerful fictionalization of domestic violence
Revisado: 05-09-19
I like to think less of the supernatural aspects of this story and more about the inter-generational aspects of family violence - that children of moms who experience domestic violence are more likely to experience or perpetrate it themselves. Great listen.
