OtherIndieFavoritesTheStringDiaries:ANovel,byStephenLloydJones(MulhollandBooks,$26)“Usually when we have the eerie feeling that something or someone dark and gruesome is following us, it’s just our vivid imaginations running amuck. But in The String Diaries it’s a very real monstrous being who is following Hannah and her family, and it’s been following them for nearly 200 years as attested to in diaries passed to Hannah from her mother. The worst part is its ability to look like anyone — even someone Hannah loves. Prepare to grit your teeth and shudder. Yes, it’s that good!” —LindaBond,Auntie’sBookstore,Spokane,WA

HowtoTellToledoFromtheNightSky:ANovel,byLydiaNetzer(St.Martin’sPress,$25.99) “This is a quirky, geeky, wonderful, feel-good love story unlike anything you have ever read. It has poetry, black holes, dreams, astronomy, super-colliders, psychics, destiny, unrequited love, and the strangest pre-arranged marriage you will ever see. It goes from weird to serious and from funny to sad, but in the end Netzer’s latest is an honest and emotional look at the nature of true love.” —NancyMcFarlane,FictionAddiction,Greenville,SC

AnotherIndieFavoriteLookaway,Lookaway:ANovel,byWiltonBarnhardt(Picador,$16)“Lookaway, Lookaway is a wildly entertaining social novel that examines the lives of a Southern family in contemporary America. If you appreciate Jonathan Franzen, you will go hoohah over Wilton Barnhardt’s latest work. If you don’t enjoy Franzen, you may go double hoohah. Barnhardt casts his novelist’s eye on society and culture and expertly delivers a searing, biting, touching, and hilarious novel that deserves a wide audience and teaches us all a thing or two. If you like to laugh, cry, and learn while marveling at exquisite writing, this book should not be missed or ignored. A literary treat!” —EdConklin,Chaucer’sBooks,SantaBarbara,CA
