Tommy Orange's Wandering Stars is our next main read,in which we go back into the history that led to the events of his debut novel There There. Our sub-read is another returning author, Grady Hendrix, this time with a story of freaky puppets and family secrets, How to Sell a Haunted House.

A general vote of confidence for Kushner's new novel from all readers. While we do wish Kushner had not assumed we knew so much about critical theory, when we unpacked Creation Lake, we found it a well-written and interesting story about theories of revolution and the false narratives that fuel social movements.

A generally well-liked novel by one of our most solid writers. The book contains believable characters and orbits around an interesting and complex theme of comets and gravity. While some of us had issues with extraneous elements and unlikely plots, the majority of us thought Perry creating an intricate, beautiful and moving story.
