I’ve read three of your twelve this year—Matterhorn, Emerald Mile, and Huck Finn. I look forward to adding several more from this list in the coming year.

Always appreciate your thoughts. I have a pretty good suspicion that Gales is under the tree for me, and I'm taking my first stab at Moby Dick in '26!

John Bacon’s book on the explosion in Halifax is equally good, Jeremy!

I just couldn’t get into Braiding Sweetgrass no matter how much I tried.

It took me awhile. I didn’t expect the book to be so…vignette-y. There’s not much of a plot, but if you catch the vision of what she’s trying to do, I think it really works. To each his own!

(Excellent handle btw)

Thanks for the recommendations! I want to check out Matterhorn and somehow had missed it

I have The Gales on my Christmas list. Good reviews all around and now yourself and Jennifer at Fitgers Bookstore (you need to meet her) have raved.

Have you read James, by Percival Everett? Its my favourite read of the year and a really great retelling of Huck Finn
