Random books from laurensx's library

About meI'm a passionate reader and have been since I was a child. My mom insisted, that every summer, we join the library's summer reading club. Because a certificate was given for every ten books read, I would set a goal for myself, for the number of certificates I'd earn. I think the most I earned in one summer was 6 certificates. To make sure I had really read the book, Mama made my sister and I write book reports AND, she'd read the book herself! I'm so grateful for her developing this passion in me!

About my libraryMy library is a collection of recommendations from friends, personal interests and the summer book lists featured on NPR. This summer, I challenged my fifth grade students to read as many books as possible from a reading list I gave them. I chose books from that list as well, and am reading those this summer.

Noticed you liked Mudbound, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:
