Friday Free-for-All

Happy Friday…

Today’s Free-for-All comes courtesy of Publisher’s Weekly and their list of Best Summer Books of 2013.

Here are some of the books listed. Have you read any of them?

A Land Without Sin by Paula Huston

“an American priest who goes missing amid political unrest in southern Mexico in 1993, and his photojournalist sister who goes to look for him”

“The title tale begins with “I was born a disappointment” and covers more than three decades in its first two pages. A boy with a crippled hand is sent by Heraclius to “geld” (ouch) a threatening monk. In the next story we meet Mike and Jimmy, two employees of a Texas lumber yard occupied with the “moon-pale skin between the buttons of the shirt Angela sometimes wore at the Hangout over in the strip mall where the Safeway used to be.””
“YA boarding school novel swings between moments of gleefully bawdy humor, romantic and personal striving, and awful tragedy with characters who are hard to forget.”
“What better way to get to know the neighborhood and usher in the summer than to unravel a mystery set just beyond your own stoop?”
