Book Recommendation: The Thirteenth Tale

[TonyaK]

Hey readers,

I have read about 1/3 of this book so far and I wish it were Saturday so I could keep reading all day! It's new and is by Diane Setterfield. It is a novel about a young woman who works in an old book shop. She is asked to write the biography of a dying fiction writer who is known to be a liar about her own life. It is mysterious and addictive. So far, I highly recommend it!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow - what a ride!’ — Peter Sage

Sounds great! I will check it out, too. Is it a new release or is it in paperback yet?

Marie, it just came out in hardcover this month. One of my friends tried to get it from the library, but 21 people were already in line waiting for it! I guess it's gotten a lot of good reviews!

Thanks for the recommendation Tonya! I actually have this book on hold from the library and there are something like 36 people ahead of me for it. I guess it will be awhile, but I am glad to hear it is worth the wait.
