After receiving a few requests, I recently added a Recommended Reading page to the blog.  It contains eight truly outstanding novels and short story collections, which I’m really excited to share with you all.  If you haven’t read them yet, you may want to add these to your 2013 reading list.  (I’ve also included links to the books on Powells… if you’re interested, just click on the book’s cover image.)  I have plans to expand this page over time, so please check back often for updates and new additions!
