A Substack blog about good fiction and interesting writers, designed to be a great source for your next book and book group as I only recommend terrific reading. I will not critique another writer, because I know how hard it is to write a great book, and sometimes, the timing is off or the story not to our taste. Haven't we all picked up a book that doesn't resonate right now, then months or years later, it sings?!

I focus on storytellers with compelling stories well told - exceptional new titles, as well as books sadly forgotten - for discerning readers. Now and then, literary ramblings you might enjoy.
