The Cat’s Table by Michael Ondaatje
Wonderful sense of time and place, peopled by a small group of memorable pre-teen boys; although fiction, the parallels to Ondaatje’s life are many, he is a truly extraordinary writer. I loved this book!! ~ Spring
The Once and Future King by T. H. White
I loved this book! I had heard the stories, as most people have, via cartoons and adaptations. The original is the best. I could not put it down. ~ Nancy
The Magician King by Lev Grossman
Sequel to The Magicians, and every bit as thought provoking. Some familiarity with the fantasy genre is nice, but not necessary. ~ Nancy
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Amazing story of overcoming obstacles and setbacks that are unthinkable. ~ Devon
The Language of Grief by Alex Gallo-Brown
Gifted young native Seattle poet; gorgeous poems about grief, love, the Northwest, travel. Read this! ~ Spring
