Exhibit by R. O. Kwon. Adding to my list. Love the way you weave these summaries. Thanks for sharing.
Oh you are too kind. I hope our like Exhibit, and if you have not read their first book - highly recommend.
@@InkandPaperBlog I’ll check them out. Thanks. 😊
Definitely will be going for at least 3 of them. 😊
3 - awesome. I hope you love them.
💚🖤 I read Shoot the Moon by Billie Letts a few years back and I still think of till this day.
Oh, I will need to check it out. Happy Reading my friend.
I cant believe I still havent read Elizabeth Strout. I’m visiting my daughter in Maine next month - might need to get started there.
Oh you must. Start with Olive Kitteridge. Great audio and it is just lovely.
You are lovely ❤
You are too sweet.
I just received Real Americans; now I'm even more excited to read it! I'm definitely preordering Tell Mr Everything - I just reread all the Lucy Barton books to get ready. These were great reviews, thanks!
You have some great reading in your future. I cannot wait for Tell Me Everything to enter the world so I can talk about it with more people. Happy Reading
I've almost picked up Real Amricans a few times but wanted to hear your review first. Now I will definitely pick it up next time.
Oh I hope you do. I think you will really like it. Tell me what you think if you do get it.
💚🖤 Save What's Left sounds good
Oh, I hope you pick it up and like it.
I’ll echo the other comments and say I just love the way you talk about books. Adding Real Americans to my TBR. As an Asian-American whose parents were both immigrants, this resonates with me.
Thank you my friend. You are always so nice to me. I think you will really like Real Americans. it is a you book for sure.
Ann Petry has written 3 novels and has one collection of short stories. All recently reissued. Loved The Street. I couldn't read another book for weeks
For sure about The Street. A book that packs a punch for sure.
I would give a leg to have that new Strout. Jealous.
Oh it is so so so good. I cannot wait for more people to read it. And it just got a starred review in Publishers Weekly - so, another reason to read it.
i love it when you love a book!
Ah thank you. So many great books in the world right now.
Russell, you describe books better than anyone else on CZcams!
Awe you are way too sweet. I certainly do not feel that way LOL. But I appreciate you so much.
The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden. Seems to be flying under the radar. Can’t stop thinking about it. Absolutely terrific. Highly recommend!
I’ve had my eye on this one. So glad to hear you enjoyed it. 😊
oh, I have not even heard of this one. I am on the hunt.
As always, an enlightening list! Real Americans has definitely risen on my tbr list. An older book that is perennially on my “can’t forget” list is A Tree Goes in Brooklyn.
Tree Grows is certainly a classic. I hope you pick up Real Americans soon and love it as much as I do.
I read My Fair Brady and loved it. It would make a great movie.
Oh I am so glad you have read it too. And yes, it would be a lovely movie.
Real Americans is on my tbr... Can't wait to get to it after hearing your thoughts...😊 A book I can't get out of my head is Molokai by Allen Brennert... it's a fantastic book... Currently reading Yellow crocus by Laila Ibrahim on audio and so far it's amazing....
Oh, I am so glad You are going to get to Real Americans soon. I have not read Molokai in years, but remember liking it a lot. I will look for Yellow Crocus.
@@InkandPaperBlog You are the first person I have come across who knows and has read Molokai... I'm so happy!Wish more people knew of it.
Good on you, but Bryan Washington is one of the most overrated authors out there. Insufferable characters and messy storytelling. Every. Single. Time.
That is the great thing about books - we can all have different opinions. I do not feel that way at all. Hope you have picked up a book you loved recently.
@@InkandPaperBlog I have - Hard by a Great Forest by Leo Vardiashvili comes to mind. Happy reading!
Loved Weyward!!👍🏻
It is an amazing book.
💚🖤📚
thanks russell..happy reading to you too.
Geez, Russell, my TBR is never going to get smaller. I want to read every one of these. They all sound good, and all different, which is even better.
I do love to hear that my friend. I’m reading 2 and am really loving them.
I am currently reading I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home. It’s among the best books of 2023. First, it’s hilarious. A lot of death humor, so kind of mordant, but nevertheless hilarious. It’s important to note that the historical fiction part of the book does NOT take place during the time of Abraham Lincoln. It is after the Civil War during reconstruction. The 21st century part takes place in 2016. Both times when America, like the characters in the book, went a little bit sideways and off kilter. While the novel is quite funny it is also about love and grief and longing and I found it to be poignant and moving. Five stars from me. Highly recommend.
I agree with you. Has a certain amount of dark humor that you laugh at and then wonder if you should have. I enjoyed it very much.
I tried Lorrie Moore’s book and like you, put it down and said “not for me.” Now you’ve peaked my interest in giving it another go. The Society of Shame is intriguing as well. As always, thank you Russell! 😊
Hi Lisa! So for Moore’s book - usually I listen to my audiobooks at 2.5 and for this one I had to slow it down to get into it. Once I did that (get through the first 40 pages or so) it really picked up and got me. Tell me what you think about Shame’s audio. Happy Reading.
Great list! Thank you 😊
You're so welcome!
Save What's left and Lucky Dogs sound interesting... Thank you Russell 😊
I started Lucky Dogs and it is very very good. I hope you pick it up.
Oh my gosh, I want to read all of these right now! Can someone give me a note so I can just quit real life and only read all summer?
OMG! If you find someone please let me know. I want them to do the same for me.
@@InkandPaperBlog 😎 For sure! 😉
Great list. Monsters We Have Made and The Society of Shame are on the top of the list for me. Suicide Club was a great read. Hope you are well!
Hi friend. So, I started Monsters and cannot put it down. It is so good. Hope you are well too!
Thanks for the recommendations. I am a book buyer for a university bookstore. It’s always good to know what title people are excited about.
Thank you so much for watching.
The Society of Shame. Got it.
Hope you like it!
Thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for these suggestions. 😊🏳️🌈
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for reading a good happy girl!!!
Awe thank you for watching :-)
I have not read any of those books, but they are on my TBR List now! What a great list! Thanks!
Oh I hope you love one or two! happy pride reading.
These letters end in Tears sounds like one I'd like to pick up. Enjoy your summer!
You too. Hope you like Tears.
❤❤❤🌈
Thank you for watching.
I love your videos and all of your excellent recommendations - thank you so much for sharing! ❤️🌈📚
Thank you so much.
Hi Russell! As always, enjoy your selection of books and the way you describe them. I read In Tongues based on your recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing was beautiful and grabbed me from the first page. I loved all the flawed characters who were well-drawn. Adding All The World Beside and Blessings to my TBR. I am currently reading Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange and loving it. Happy Pride Month!
I keep thinking about In Tongues. I am so glad you enjoyed it. I think you will like All the World Beside. Happy Reading my friend.
I love your recommendations as always but the auto-focus on your camera was driving me a little crazy. I couldn’t tell if it was my eyes or your camera but it zooming in and then zooming out was pretty distracting. 😢 Otherwise, love all these new releases.
Yeah - the iPhone at every update does something new. Record and learn. Glad you like the books though :-)
Russell! Oh how I have missed hearing you speak about books! Looking forward to All the World Beside and The Guncle Abroad. Reading Siren Queen at the moment and loving it. 🌈💜
Oh I am so glad. I have Siren Queen, I do love all of the author’s novellas.
She’s great, isn’t she?!
My current #pride TBR The In Between by Christos Tsiolkas The Men of Echo Creek by N.R. Walker Henry Henry Enlightenment by Sarah Perry A Botanical Daughter by Noah Medlock Martyr! 🍀👋☘️📚📕📖☕️
I really loved Henry Henry - almost made this list but I had just talked about it. I need the new Perry!! Happy Reading my friend.
But how do you write letters under water? I am intrigued by the Letters to the illuminous Deep though !!
I’m so sorry I have adhd I’m not trying to be rude, love your channel. Just easily distracted 😂❤.
You must have a super sensitive mic because is that kids playing outside on the street I hear echoing in the background (and then the ghost hehe, thankfully you solved that mystery for me 😅)…. I’m adding that first and second book to my tbr they just sound adventurous!!
LOL. Yes that little girl can often be heard through the entire house. LOL. I did not notice until after I was done. Sorry for the distraction.
@@InkandPaperBlog I just have adhd and am distracted easily lol plus I had the volume up loud and that makes the background noise louder.

Hype for Shafak’s new one and Private Rites
🖤💚
Hey there guy! All of these sound great! The Elif Sharaf novel sounds interesting! Never read her! Blue Ruin sounds amazing as well! Thank you!!!
Thank you my friend. Hope all is well down south.
Hi. I've beem watchinh your reviews for ovet a year and you've imspired me to pick some of these titles up so thank you. I have a burning question though. Maybe I remember incorrectly but have you ever mentioned you're a tattoo artist?? Each time I watch your videos this question pops in my mind...
Hi. Thank you for watching. I am not a tattoo artist. Just a tattoo fanatic. I wish I was an artist. Might cost me less LOL
Update to my last comment: I am completely immersed with In Tongues and am so thankful for your recommendation. I am riveted and so invested in the characters.
