Author: Kevin Holtsberry
Shaming the Devil by Alan Jacobs
The essays read not as lectures but as conversations exploring interesting topics with a very well read friend.
Frozen Dreams by Moe Lane
A fun, fast-paced mash-up of classic detective fiction and urban fantasy with a dash of dystopia.
The Captain and the Glory by Dave Eggers

Lots of action, political intrigue, international travel and culture and good-natured humor/banter between the husband and wife team.

“A chilling justification of a life of violence, as nonchalant as it is grim.” My take? What a weird little book…
The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri
