black woods blue sky, by eowyn ivey (this was an odd book, creepy and mysterious, that i think i really enjoyed. great to read in the winter, as it's set in alaska...if you're up for a little mysticism, i would highly recommend this! but i don't think i can give it a wholehearted recommendation for everyone.)
little town on the prairie, by laura ingalls wilder (book 7 of 9! i don't think i'd ever read this one...the blackface scene, which i knew was coming, was interesting to encounter. as with all the little house books, we take the bad alongside the nostalgia...)
lightbreakers, by aja gabel (this was a book of the month club pick that i don't imagine i would have picked up without that recommendation. a main character had a child die at age 3...he joins a time travel experimental project with the promise that he can go back and relive moments with his kid. can he change the past? we find out the answer to that in the book. again, hard to know who to recommend this to: i can't imagine i would recommend it to anyone with young kids. i'm glad i read it - it's well written - but it's in my free little library right now ready for someone out there to grab it.)
