Two audiobooks from the publisher for review:
Shadow Patrol
by Olaf Olafsson
John Wells goes undercover in Afghanistan not only among the Taliban but among fellow Americans-in the electrifying new novel of modern suspense from the #1 “New York Times”-bestselling writer.
A Good American
by Alex George
Poignant, funny, and heartbreaking, A Good American is a novel about being an outsider-in your country, in your hometown, and sometimes even in your own family. It is a universal story about our search for home.
Two books from the publishers for review and giveaway:
Snow Child
by Eowyn Ivey
Transport yourself to the untamed Alaskan frontier in the 1920s. A magical tale told with wonder and delight. A childless, older couple build a child out of the first snowfall. The next morning the snow child is gone–but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear.
May the Road Rise Up to Meet You
by Peter Troy
An engrossing, epic American drama spanning the first major wave of Irish immigration to New York through the end of the Civil War. Four unique voices; two parallel love stories; one sweeping novel rich in the history of nineteenth-century America. This remarkable debut draws from the great themes of literature—famine, war, love, and family—as it introduces four unforgettable characters.
