![]() ![]() Now that it is 2018, the excitement of a new year, new adventures and new beginnings are upon us. What It Means When A Man Falls From The Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah is a collection of short stories that has been described to me as stunning. It examines the human condition through the boundary of what is real and imagined. A book that spans both science fiction and literary fiction is The Wanderers by Meg Howrey. Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward, whose novel Salvage the Bones captivated me, is another that I plan to dive into soon. The Changeling by Victor LaValle, which topped many critics’ lists last year, is certainly on mine. ![]() Where did all of the time go? How is it already 2018? At the end of each year, I like to take time to reflect on the successes and failures of my year and ask myself “What did I want to accomplish that I didn’t get done?” My thoughts inevitably turn to books and the phrase, “so many books, so little time.” With that in mind, I am pleased to offer you a few of the books that I carried over to my 2018 To-Be-Read List. As 2017 drew to a close, I felt as if I was in a speeding train watching the world go by. It’s a time of reflection on the year that has gone by and excitement for the promise of a new beginning. The changing of one year to the next holds a type of mystical allure. ![]()
