catching up on my posting! in april i read:
gods of howl mountain, by taylor brown (from my bookshelf - i liked the setting (mountains of north carolina during prohibition - we follow a bootlegger), but this didn't blow my mind nor have i thought about it a lot since i read it. i liked it but didn't love it!)
smoketown, by mark whitaker (ooh, i loved this one, a story of black pittsburgh in the first half or two-thirds of the 20th century - the pittsburgh courier newspaper, sports, music, how black pittsburghers lived in the city. i have been talking about and recommending this a lot since i finished it, and if you have any interest in the subject area, i would HIGHLY recommend it. i listened to the audiobook, which was well-narrated.)
dear edward, by ann napolitano (this was fine. it had gotten a fair amount of hype when it came out but it didn't blow my mind. a decent beach read, i'd imagine, but nothing special!)
