The Air We Breathe by Andrea Barrett
This might be air but it’s not fresh. A fitting alternate title for this book could be The Bus Fumes We’re Forced to Inhale.
The Used World by Haven Kimmel
What's used is you patience. What's not used is a story or a character you could give two shits about. This is just more proof that you can have the cutest name there is but that doesn't mean you can create and or tell a story.
The Expeditions by Karl Iagnemma
The only interesting expedition you'll find with this book is digging through the trash looking for the receipt so you can return it.
People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
I just hope you're not one of the people who bought this book.
Might be the first in a series of paradoxical titles. What next, The Smart Man, ? If you bought this book, the smart thing to do is hold onto the receipt so you can quietly return this muddlepiece.
The Quiet Girl by Peter Hoeg
You see him but then lose track of him. Excellent story telling and writing might save this book. It's worth a peek. Well, a "see" in this case.
Now You See Him by Eli Gottlieb
The Reserve by Russell Banks
Reserve yourself a window seat on the bus back to the bookstore so you can return this one.
firefly lane by Kristin Hannah
A lane you'll wish you never turned down.
