- TRAVELLING CAT CHRONICLES by Hiro Arikawa
To get on board with this reading experience, you need to be OK
with a feline raconteur. The cat in this case is a former stray, adopted
by
a single man named Satoru, who names him Nana {Japanese word for
“seven” – a luck number}. Nana narrates much, but not all of this
novel, which is both his story and Satoru’s.

According to legend, once the sand of Key West is in your shoes, you
cannot go back from whence you came. It is true for me, I’m alone on
the beach watching the blood red sun baptized in the gulf of Mexico
and there is no returning to what I left behind!
- KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON by David Grann
A
non-fiction book about the Osage Indian murders and the birth of the

perseverance it is one of my favorites!
