September's First Read choices

 (This new Blogger layout has odd colours in the post-writing page - very hard to see the text entry area. )


Amazon's First Read options for September:

  • Thriller - The Unspoken
  • Book club fiction - Millicent Glenn's Last Wish
  • Domestic Suspense - This Secret Thing (how is "domestic suspense" different?)
  • Literary Fiction - A Single Swallow
  • Humorous Nonfiction - Welcome to the United States of Anxiety
  • Romantic Comedy - Room-maid
  • Supernatural thriller - the Haunting of H. G. Wells
  • Picture book - The Monster on the Block

Not interested in Thrillers or Suspense, although the H.G. Wells looks closer to SF/Fantasy, and the library has a copy of United States of Anxiety, Roommaid, and The Haunting of H.G. Wells, so those are out of contention.  Millicent Glenn's Last Wish looks kind of interesting, but I think A Single Swallow is the winner this month. 


Also - the extension for Chrome and Firefox called "Library Extension" is very handy.  If you're on an Amazon or Goodreads listing page for a book, it'll check your local library catalog to see if it's available there.
