What I'm Looking For
I'm currently looking for literary and upmarket fiction (both novels and story collections); mystery/suspense/crime novels with a literary edge to the writing; narrative nonfiction (including works of journalism, history that fills a gap on the bookshelf, cultural criticism, and true crime); and middle grade fiction and nonfiction.
