WEIRD WATCHING (SEPTEMBER 2016)


Room by Emma Donoghue was a fabulous read. Even the movie was excellent! Now Emma Donoghue has a new novel, titled The Wonder and some critics are calling it 'a masterpiece'...It's at the top of my list.

Ian McEwan is known as one of the fifty greatest British writers since 1945. His awards are too numerous to mention and I'm a huge fan and devotee. Nutshell, his latest novel sounds like a weird little novel but brilliant...no surprise there. I can't wait to read this book narrated by a fetus!! You heard me, a fetus....let the weirdness begin!

Release Date: September 20

In Emma Donoghue's latest masterpiece, an English nurse brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle-a girl said to have survived without food for months.   




NUTSHELL by Ian McEwan (Psychological Thriller)
Trudy has betrayed her husband, John; she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb.
