Dennis Lehane, Ivy Pochoda, Eli Cranor, Michelle Zauner, Jason Rejulak, and Jim Ruland. Plus: Neal's new podcast (Hawaii!) Also: Tequila + Amari — three ways.
While you're in Boston, I recommend going to Kane's donuts, The original one in Saugus about 15 minutes out for a sort of quaint small town experience of it. Unbelievable stuff -if you have a sweet tooth especially-the coffee rolls are more like cakes.
I recently read and reviewed an ARC of Small Mercies over on my site and fully concur with it being among Lehane's best (although I still have a few of his unread), and with plenty of highlightable passages, too. I also missed Cranor's Don't Know Though but have an audiobook edition of Ozark Dogs on tap. Sounds like it'll be right up my alley. Thanks for the recommendations here! Looks like lots of great new books to check out.
Safe travels! Sounds like a hell of a trip
