When Paul Elias receives a terminal diagnosis, only one thing is clear to him: if he is going to die, he must find someone to watch over his granddaughter, Pearl, who has been in his charge since her drug-addicted father disappeared. Paul decides to take her to Nysa—both the place where he grew up and the place where he lost his beloved wife under strange circumstances forty years earlier. When Pearl starts vanishing at night and returning with increasingly bizarre tales, Paul begins to question her sanity, his own views on death, and the nature of reality itself.
Happy Tuesday, readers! It is time for another enormous list of books, featuring many of the titles out this week. Is the weather hot where you are? Then good news, because reading is not an activity that will make you sweat even more! I hope you are able to get comfortable wherever you are, and that you have wonderful things to read, too. ❤️
Now, for today’s bonanza of books: I did get a chance to read several of them, but there are still soooo many more on this list that I can’t wait to check out, like Nobody, Somebody, Anybody by Kelly McClorey, Vessel: A Memoir by Chongda Cai, and Alone in Space: A Collection by Tillie Walden. Okay, okay, and the Richard Marx memoir. And as with each first Tuesday megalist, I am putting a ❤️ next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved. You can also hear about several new releases on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Danika and I discussed Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead, Temple Alley Summer, Lights Out in Lincolnwood, and more. Okay—everyone buckled in? Get ready to click your little hearts out, because here come the books! – XO, Liberty
