July brings two fabulous authors to Sunriver Books & Music. Craig Johnson will be with us on Sunday the 20th at 5:00 PM. He writes an engaging mystery series featuring Sheriff Walt Longmire set in Wyoming. Craig really crosses genre lines with his series. The writing is superb, easily able to hold its own with general fiction. The influence of Craig’s heroes, John Steinbeck, Wallace Stegner, and George MacDonald Fraser can be felt on the pages, but the style and prose are wholly original. Craig has populated Walt’s piece of Wyoming with likable quirky characters. Lisa Lutz will be with us Saturday July 26th at 5:00 PM. I was delighted by Lisa’s first book, The Spellman Files. It is lively, original and great fun! Curse of the Spellmans is even better! Her books are set in San Francisco and peppered with bits of the city. Carl Hiaasen and Christopher Moore better start looking over their shoulders and lacing up their running shoes, Lisa Lutz is going to give them a run for thier money! If you have not tried Carole’s Surprise, there is still time to purchase the July/August/September subscription. Check out our July Newsletter for more on the happenings at Sunriver Books & Music. We wish you good reading and a safe, happy July.

Carole enjoys being introduced to books and authors she might not have picked for herself. Now you can purchase Carole’s Surprise every quarter and receive a surprise book once a month. The cost of Carole’s Surprise varies but is usually between $41 and $50 depending on the books.

Sight Hound
by
Houston, Pam
The long-awaited novel--a very special love story--from the best-selling author of "Cowboys Are My Weakness."
This is the story of a woman, Rae, and her dog, Dante, a wolfhound who teaches "his human" that love is stronger than fear (the dog has always known this). Dante is the catalyst for change in other characters as well, and they step forward with their narratives: Rae's house-tender; her therapist; two veterinarians; and an anxiety-ridden actor, Howard, who turns out to be as stalwart as Dante himself. As the "seer" who hunts by sight rather than smell, Dante has some things to add, as does Rose, another dog who lives at Rae's heels, and Stanley the cat. Among and above these myriad voices, Rae voices her own challenges.
With the wit and dead-on candor we've come to expect from Pam Houston, "Sight Hound" unfolds a story that illuminates the intangible covenant between loved ones. Here, dogs and humans are simply equal creatures, looking to connect and holding on for dear life when they do. Reading group guide included. |
