Today, hundreds of non-fiction books are on sale. One I love is a set of essays by Anne Patchett–it has one of the most perfect essays of all time in it, the titular one.

We gave this one a B+. Our reviewer wrote:

False Colors lives and breathes history. Beecroft, who dedicated the book in part to Patrick O’Brian, makes you feel like you’re on a wooden ship visiting a sweltering exotic port or surviving the perilous arctic. History isn’t pretty, and the violence isn’t “PG-13” – men are blown apart or tortured by pirates, and men die grisly deaths from yellow fever. At the same time, beyond the blood, there are lots of great little details that bring the ships to life. As a lover of classical music, I was also pleasantly surprised when John joined Alfie in song and turned out to be a counter-tenor, not something I ever expected from a romance hero.

This too is a B+ at AAR. 

Dual timeline novels are quite popular these days, but All the Ways We Said Goodbye takes the trend a bit further, telling the stories of three women, each of whom lives in a different time period. I loved this style of storytelling. Each of the women had a compelling story arc, and I became invested in each of their journeys.

This Beauty and the Beast retelling is a DIK at AAR.

I’m a total pushover for a Beauty and the Beast tale and I think this is one of the best ones I’ve read. It’s deeply romantic and very touching. Also, it is one of the few romantic stories I’ve read that is told from the male point of view. That alone was worth the read.
