Books for Holiday Giving and Reading Pleasure

A charming collection of a novella and eight short stories by Edward M. George. A celebration of the natural world by Margaret Renkl. A bold collection of poems by Matthew Minicucci. My review of these and other books, along with a treasure trove of other reviews, may be found at the Alabama Writers’ Forum website: writersforum.org.

The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

Happy Reading and Happy Giving.

Fresh Books

Alabama Writers’ Forum has just published a new crop of reviews. I review Ayana Mathis’s new novel, The Unsettled, and a packed collection of short stories, The Best of the Shortest, that grew out of the legendary “literary slugfest” Southern Writers Reading in Fairhope, Alabama. And while you’re there, enjoy Susie Paul’s lively review of Jacqueline Allen Trimble’s How to Survive the Apocalypse, a new book of poetry. Check them out here:

Latest Reviews for Alabama Writers’ Forum

Two of my recent book reviews are now available for viewing at Alabama Writers’ Forum. The Gold-Plated Scarab and Other Stories is a lovely collection of short stories by Norman McMillan and More than Peanuts: The Unlikely Partnership of Tom Huston and George Washington Carver is Edith Powell’s book about a lesser-known collaboration in the scientist George Washington Carver’s storied career.
