Thanks for your suggestion. Hard to go wrong with Mark Helprin. I recommend The Boatman’s Daughter by Andy Davidson. It’s Southern Gothic, Southern noir, and a little bit of Russian folklore horror all woven together with Davidson’s poetic prose.

As I was scrolling through my Kindle looking for a good suggestion, I noticed I had accidentally purchased two copies of Jane Eyre, so there’s that, lol, but I would like to suggest The Essay by Robin Yocum. Fell in love with it. 🙂

This is a lovely idea, Charles – and if you are looking for a remarkable but very readable book that is completely escapist – there is Jo Walton’s Tooth and Claw, where dragons do Anthony Trollope…

An incredible author that will thrill you with his literary mastery… Be ready for a long ‘sit’ under your reading lamp…if you like long, literary, descriptive masterpieces, come feast. No question, Mark Helprin is a most talented author…
Thank you, Charles, great reading suggestion.

Thank you for the recommendation! I hadn’t heard of this author. I just finished reading a new author’s book called False Assurances by Christopher Rosow. I barely put it down, and upon finishing it I quickly ordered book 2 and am enjoying it as well.

If you like dystopian fiction and political intrigue, I recommend Iain Kelly’s The State Trilogy: 1) A Justified State, 2) State of Denial, and 3) State of War. The third one was just released this month. https://iainkellywriting.com/2020/05/03/state-of-war-the-new-novel-out-now/

The only store I miss is the bookstores. I wait for the books to signal I must read them and so rarely recommend a book. Most have their own idea of what a good book is so I leave it at that. Books often fall off shelves to me. I know it’s weird but it happens too often to ignore. I think they have a life of their own. 😉

Audrey Driscoll’s The Friendship of Mortals — free on Smashwords.
She’s a fellow blogger and her novel is reminiscent of Mary Shelly, though she models her characters after HPLovecraft’s stories. Excellent reading.

I recently learned of a book series published in 2009 and is pretty entertaining and has a pandemic theme. Okay, so some people might want to escape this pandemic, but this one is interesting. It’s The Strain trilogy. I did a blurt (brief shout-out): https://karinapinella.com/2020/09/26/the-strain-trilogy-by-guillermo-del-toro-and-chuck-hogan-a-trilogy-blurt/
