Topeka & Shawnee Co. Public Library discussion

I know that I always love to discover a new author that I have never read before. It's like meeting a new friend because I want to get to know their books.

So what is a new author that you have read recently? Did you love their books? Hate them? Let us know!

I just read my first Ron Rash book - Above the Waterfall - over the weekend and loved it. The characters, the setting, the lyrical writing...I'm definitely going to check out his other books.

I won a Goodreads book give-away recently receiving a copy of The Memory of Things by Gae Polisner. This is the first one of Polisner's books I have read. It is the story of two young people who meet in the immediate aftermath of Sept 11. I am about halfway through and am enjoying it. One of the characters is presenting in a complete and clear way while the other is shrouded in mystery. I am anxious to read on and find out more about the girl's back story.
