Little Victories by Jason Gay (A Not-Stash Book)

 Because, Dear Reader, I get distracted from my own shelves sometimes often but still have opinions about what I read in my prodigal bookworming.

May be an image of book and text that says 'TTLE ICTORIES PERFECT RULES IMPERFECT LIVING ASON'

This book is....a Not-Stash library book. It caught my eye on the shelf and turned out to be a meditation on life and family that was both comedic and moving. Thoroughly refreshing. Jason Gay has one of those authorly voices that keep playing in my head like a narrator even when I am not reading the book.

Rating: 4/5

    This books is....Book 2 in a famous series of morbidly humorous children's fiction that follows three bright orphans through various unfortunate events. Author: Lemony Snicket Rating: 5/5 Keep or Donate: Keep, obviously. If the first two books are any indication, the series deserve its reputation as well-written, witty, and wonderfully dark.

Gemini Cell by Myke Cole

      This book is....military sci/fi fantasy thriller Author: Myke Cole Rating: 3.5/5 stars Keep or Donate: Keep as a reference for if I want to write any Big Exciting Action Scenes in a novel someday. The jinn Ninip was the most interesting character by far. Another notable bit is that this book has the most unflattering description of my city that I've read thus far. So noir! I'm torn between excitement that we showed up in a thriller and concern about exactly what part of town the poor author found himself wandering through.

The Parade by David Eggers (A Not-Stash Book)

    This book is...A Not-Stash library book. A parable on the unexpected difficulties and dangers of good intentions in postwar reconstruction. At times satiric, at times sober, at times surprising...the book builds to a final moment that jabs you like a sudden poke to the ribs. This is my favorite Eggers book so far and the one I would most readily read again. It might even end up on my shelf eventually. Author: David Eggers Rating: 5/5
