These Precious Days

“I loved absolutely everything about this book and did not want it to end. Ann Patchett's narration is magical and I believe is best way to experience her writing. Though these are essays, they are expertly arranged and together feel like a memoir. Patchett talks about everything from life and death to bookstores and book covers and you immediately want to gift this book to everyone. I could not recommend it highly enough!”

White Horse

“If I had read White Horse on the page, Kari would have sounded exactly in my head the way Tonantzin Carmelo sounds in the audiobook. The main character of White Horse is fierce, sure of herself, and amazingly loving despite everything she’s gone through, and Carmelo captures her subtle intensity with expertise. In fact, White Horse is subtly intense in its entirety. An Indigenous horror novel with heavy homage to Stephen King, White Horse stands out because of its relationship to the supernatural elements of horror. So often in the genre, the point of terror is the supernatural—the ghost phasing through the wall, the whiplash-like visions. But here, the characters exist in a cultural context where the supernatural is often expected and embraced as a guiding factor in life. As a result, the horror of this book is located at more unique nexuses within the history and lives of the main characters and their communities—making it all the more terrifying. White Horse is a cleanly executed horror narrative with excellent pacing and wonderfully three-dimensional characters you won’t forget. (Plus, if you’re a metalhead like Kari and myself, the story is chock-full of rad metal obsession <3)”

Woman of Light

“Woman of Light is a beautifully written story of unity, adversity, and the struggles of the Lopez family in the 1920s and 1930s. Perfectly connecting the past and present up to a meeting point for the family. I 100% recommend this book!”
