All Books Considered

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! 1.   The Truth According to Us   by Annie Barrows I can't stop thinking about this book, six months later.  Absolutely unparalleled for me this year.  I still feel like I crawled into a lost Carson McCullers reading this book.  My review HERE .  2.  Last Night in Montreal   and  Station Eleven   by Emily St. John Mandel Emily St. John Mandel's words are haunting -- I normally do not include books on my list not released the same year of the list but my exception is these two!  My review of Last Night in Montreal   HERE . 3.   Where All Light Tends to Go   by David Joy I just finished this book late Saturday night/early Sunday morning and I'm so glad I did because I can't imagine it not on this list.  My review will be posted this Thursday but the voice in this book -- absolutely ast...
