Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. “Ace Atkins’s killing honesty sets a new standard for Southern crime fiction.”. “As in his spy novels, Kanon demonstrates a mastery of closed-in drama. Such is the jabbing understatement of the dialogue—what’s withheld matters more than what’s said—that it holds you in suspense as much as any action scene. The contrast between his impeccable control and the nightmarish chaos of this time and place gives things a powerful edge. Kanon goes to China with stirring results.”

The late Tom Clancy was the undisputed master of the techno-thriller. For decades, he charmed readers with his intricate plots and deep understanding of military technology and espionage. His passion for all things martial shines through in his work, particularly in his description of geopolitical conflicts and the nuances of intelligence operations. His books can get quite farfetched, and sometimes the descriptions are overbearing, but he certainly knew how to spin a yarn.

I was on the Book Riot Podcast this week, subbing in for Jeff and sitting down with Rebecca to discuss the latest in the wonderful world of books and reading. Among other things, we talked about The New York Times’s list of the 100 Best Books of the Century, which at the time of recording had not yet been released in full. The top 20 titles would be revealed the following day and Rebecca asked me on the spot if there were any names I expected to see there. So, of course, I promptly forgot how time works as well as the details of every book I’ve ever read.
