By Book Moon

I can't believe it either, but my mom read more books! Let's see what Kath's been up to during this quarantine. Looks like she has some great suggestions for those rainy quarantine days. Or maybe you're looking for an easy Mother's Day gift? (it might get there a little late but Mom won't mind right? It's the thought that counts).

Paperback

$17.99

"...author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women."--Kristin Hannah.com

Paperback

$19.00

$17.67

"There are many great things about this book...It will thrill her fans with its combination of Greek tragedy, Romeo and Juliet-like coming of age story and domestic potboiler. She recreates in magical detail the lives of Alaska's homesteaders...and is just as specific and authentic in her depiction of the spiritual wounds of post-Vietnam America. A tour de force." --Kirkus

Emily St. John Mandel

Hardback

$28.00

$26.04

"A striking book that's every bit as powerful -- and timely -- as its predecessor... In Vincent and Paul, Mandel has created two of the most memorable characters in recent American fiction... Mandel's writing shines throughout the book, just as it did in Station Eleven. She's not a showy writer, but an unerringly graceful one, and she treats her characters with compassion but not pity. The Glass Hotel is a masterpiece, just as good -- if not better -- than its predecessor. It's a stunning look at how people react to disasters, both small and large, and the temptation that some have to give up when faced with tragedy." --Michael Shaub, NPR

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. All The Light We Cannot See tells the story of a blind French girl on the run from the German occupation who crosses paths with a German orphan-turned-resistance tracker. "A tender exploration of this world's paradoxes; the beauty of the laws of nature and the terrible ends to which war subverts them; the frailty and the resilience of the human heart; the immutability of a moment and the healing power of time. The language is as expertly crafted as the master locksmith's models in the story, and the settings as intricately evoked. A compelling and uplifting novel."--M.L. Stedman
