The Martian - Andy Weir

The fifth of August is for heroes, according to the meme. THE MARTIAN

Andy Weir's classic thriller set in Outer Space gets my vote for Mark Watney!

My 5-star review tells how much I appreciate a wisecracking, smartass, and plain smart hero who gets it done. Crown Publishing Group bravo for taking this book to the next level!

Gahan Wilson. His stuff never gets old. I laugh as hard as I did 40 years ago, and sometimes harder. 5 happy, if dark, stars!

August Book-A-Day #3: THE GALAXIE AND OTHER RIDES
The Galaxie and Other Rides - Josie Sigler

The meme prompt for today is an outstanding collection of short stories.

This collection is one I've been unable to get out of my mind since I read it. Joe William Taylor selected it to win the Tartt First Fiction Award in 2012. It's a memorable, affecting, and engrossing look at life we privileged readers don't live.

 

This is what good publishing looks like.
