A story of jealousy and greed, Yellowface takes the reader many places. It is also a story of a scathing look at the publishing industry.

There are a few books that I hand sell like crazy at Fabled and one that I am known to adore is “the donkey book”. Yes, the donkey book is Running With Sherman: How a Rescue Donkey Inspired a Rag-Tag Gang of Runners to Enter the Craziest Race in America by Christopher MacDougall.

If there's one thing that I learned from AMORALMAN: A True Story and Other Lies, it's that I never want to play cards with the author, Derek Delgaudio.

I want to highlight an under the radar gem that is a contender for my favorite book of 2023. That is the debut novel Go As A River by Shelley Read. Read is fifth generation Coloradoan and her love of the land shines through in this gorgeous novel.

I recently read 'Last Summer on State Street', the debut novel of Toya Wolfe. I had my eye on it for a while and I'm so glad I finally picked it up.

I love reading memoirs and this is one of the best I've read in years.

A legal thriller that injects doubt at every turn.

One of the most fascinating non-fiction books I have read this year is Generations, the real difference between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents – and what they Mean for America’s Future By Jean M. Twenge, PHD.

I’ve read a number of memoirs by musicians over the years. Mary Gauthier’s Saved by a Song is one absolutely one of my favorites.
