About my libraryMy library is eclectic. It runs the gamut of mysteries, politics (mostly local), sports (fiction and non-fiction), humor, guilty pleasures, and some history. I started out just listing the books I have at home, then began adding any book I ever read, even though I don't own it anymore. It's been great to have my catalog handy when I want to recall a book that has slipped my mind. My "to be read" list is now completely out of control.

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Since I was hoping for a review, I didn’t feel it was appropriate to expect you to buy a copy :)

Thanks,

Chris

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:
