*generally speaking, I list adult fiction, poetry, and graphic novel releases which seem promising, and I usually skip:

⚫ Super well-known authors like CoHo and Patterson. They don't need my help.

⚫ YA, MG, unless I think it will appeal to a general audience.

⚫ Books in a series.

⚫ NF, with exceptions.

@bookstodon I'm sure there are thousands of talented authors out there, whom most of us will never discover. But, what a gift when we do!

I was unfamiliar with Scott Nicolay's work, but almost every rating posted on his latest book: AND AT MY BACK I ALWAYS HEAR, are gushing reviews by fellow authors. He creates whole little worlds in each novella, sucking you in with intricate, engaing*, details without using more characters than he needs to.

I would call this "a book of novellas for people who think that they don't like short stories."

  • at one point, I looked up and realized that I'd missed dinner by hours, deep into the weird fiction of the author. And Honey, I NEVER miss a meal.
