Last night, I finished Irene Nemirovsky's book, Suite Francaise. It is definitely a must for those who are interested in WWII historical fiction. Beautifully written with a very timely message.

Then I started reading Jason Mott's latest work, Hell of a Book, which caused a bit of literary whiplash (in a good way) as this writer had me yucking it up in the 2nd chapter. I think this one will be good.

From amazon:

An astounding work of fiction from New York Times bestselling author Jason Mott, always deeply honest, at times electrically funny, that goes to the heart of racism, police violence, and the hidden costs exacted upon Black Americans and America as a whole
