New Century Reading http://www.newcenturyreading.com/ New century, new books, and a TBR stack that never seems to shrink. en-US 2017-01-19T17:14:20-06:00 A Gentleman in Moscow http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2017/01/a-gentleman-in-moscow.html Boy, is it hard to come up with adjectives to describe this book. I keep coming up with things like "sweet" and "sentimental", but those aren't entirely accurate, and it sounds like the book is a bit treacly, which is... Novel Amy Rea 2017-01-19T17:14:20-06:00 The Diary of Virginia Woolf, Volume One http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2017/01/the-diary-of-virginia-woolf-volume-one.html Along with Hermione Lee's massive bio of Virginia Woolf, I've had the first volume of her diaries sitting on my shelf for a rather long time. When I started reading the bio, I also took down the diary and started... nonfiction Amy Rea 2017-01-16T05:18:00-06:00 Voices from Chernobyl http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2017/01/voices-from-chernobyl.html This book is not for the faint of heart (or, in parts, the weak of stomach). The author is a Nobel Prize winner who has written many accounts of life in Russia/the USSR. In this volume, she spent three years... nonfiction Amy Rea 2017-01-09T06:29:00-06:00 The End of the Year http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2017/01/the-end-of-the-year.html It's time.

Amy Rea 2017-01-02T10:55:17-06:00 Virginia Woolf http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2016/12/virginia-woolf.html A year or so ago, I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, that book by the Japanese organizational guru. I found many of her techniques to be truly useful (my sock drawer became, and has remained, a thing of... biography Amy Rea 2016-12-29T14:46:36-06:00 Swing Time http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2016/12/swing-time.html Well, this book ended up a disappointment for me, mostly because it got off to a rip-roaring start. The book opens with the story of two young girls in London, both wanting to become dancers with all their hearts, but... Novel Amy Rea 2016-12-13T06:51:53-06:00 The Trespasser http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2016/12/the-trespasser.html Damn. How does she do it? Tana French just keeps turning out these books, and I keep loving them. She keeps her cast of characters centered on Dublin's Murder Squad, and yet every story ends up being completely different. It... Novel Amy Rea 2016-12-07T13:31:58-06:00 The Many http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2016/11/the-many.html Well. Damn. Not really sure how to describe this book, or even completely sure what it was trying to tell me. At first, it seems like a simple tale. Timothy is a man coming into a small coastal village in... Novel Amy Rea 2016-11-12T10:54:08-06:00 Commonwealth http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2016/11/commonwealth.html I really had issues with Ann Patchett's previous book, State of Wonder, so it was with some trepidation that I cracked open her latest, Commonwealth. That, and this is turning into one of those widely praised books that everyone seems... Novel Amy Rea 2016-11-03T10:08:14-05:00 The Lost Girls http://www.newcenturyreading.com/2016/10/the-lost-girls.html The Lost Girls is technically a mystery: In 1935, in a very small town in remote northern Minnesota, six-year-old Emily Evans vanishes. She is never found. What could possibly have happened to her? But in many ways, this book is... Novel Amy Rea 2016-10-23T13:53:46-05:00
