Marsha Thomason Instagram – I’m an avid reader and have been since I was a kid. I’ve always got a book on the go. I’m in a book club, borrow ebooks from my local public library and have a “to read” list of books longer than my arm. 📖What books have you been enjoying?📖 Here are 6 of my favorites from the past year: ✨Hell Of A Book by Jason Mott✨ A nameless bestselling author embarks on a book tour, he may or may not have an imaginary friend and a tragic police shooting plays constantly on the news. This book is brilliant. Heavy and light and all things in between. Highly recommend. ✨Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell✨ This book breaths such robust life into these characters, that it’s hard to believe Utopia Avenue was never a real band. Set in the late 1960’s, this book takes the reader along on the bands ascent. I had a LOT of big feelings at the end, but just love it when a book can make me feel so much. ✨Seven Days In June by Tia Williams✨ I steamed through this sexy romantic novel-pun intended! Set in Brooklyn, author’s Eva and Shane reunite after decades apart, but they’re in for a bumpy ride. I was engaged with this book from the jump! Absolute fire!🔥 ✨Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr✨ Constantinople 1453. Idaho 2020. Sometime in the future. While living differing lives, the characters in each of these time periods are connected by an ancient text. It took me a while to get into this book, I struggled to engage with the different timelines and jumping between characters and their stories. But once it clicked for me, I was all in. ✨Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson✨ Estranged siblings come together in the wake of their mother’s death. As they uncover tightly held family secrets, their journey takes us from the Caribbean to London to California. I loved this book and it’s beautiful cast of characters. ✨Anxious People By Fredrik Backman✨ This is such a fun quirky book. A would be bank robber, takes the most ridiculous motley crew of open house goers hostage in a small town in Sweden. Hilarious and sentimental. #books #read #fiction #bookclub #bookrecommendations #publiclibrary #lapubliclibrary
