  • Bright Dead Things - Ada Limón - Feb. 2 - poetry, Southern imagery, horses ( How To Triumph Like A Girl ), expansive loneliness, written commands

  • The Artist's Way - Julia Cameron - Feb. 17 - self-discovery
  • Cover Story - Susan Rigetti - Feb. 22 - crime, written in media clips, legitimate twist ending
  • Sirens & Muses - Antonia Angress - Mar. 8 - literary fiction, messy characters, engaging prose, stunning debut, 5 stars
  • Lucky Turtle - Bill Roorbach - Mar. 10 - fictional memoir, wishy-washy, speech-like writing, wilderness
