Miles and his family leave the moneyed, competitive world of Silicon Valley for a year in pastoral Vermont where his wife has accepted a post as a visiting professor at a small liberal arts college. Miles plans to use the time to finally complete the PhD dissertation he’s been revising for more than 20 years but is easily distracted by local novelties. Incredibly amusing descriptions and observations of an outsider navigating new terrain, with charming explorations of themes such as marriage, parenthood, loneliness, and community, and littered with a long and sundry parade of quirky, endearing characters. Mason is a supremely deft writer with an enviable vocabulary whose prose seems to unspool with effortless glee. The perfect light, literary summer read. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6994def9aa2824311a43d901/c5a36066-7dc4-4915-922b-58ba4a1b83c4/Screenshot+2026-07-27+at+2.40.30%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Our Current Fave Hidden Gems - In the Distance, Hernan Diaz The debut novel by the Pulitzer-Prize winning author of Trust. In the early 1800s, Hakan is sent by his father from his homeland in Sweden to the United States in the hope of a better life. He arrives in San Francisco - a mere adolescent with no money, no friends or family, and not speaking any English. The novel chronicles the rest of Hakan’s life as he makes his way through the lawless Wild West across the country to New York. Hakan must learn to survive on his own in a hostile land full of violence, tricksters, and unrelenting deprivation and becomes a legend on the frontier. An introspective novel about grit with a singular protagonist you’ll never forget and an innovative perspective on myth versus reality of the United States, the West, and Hakan himself. Pulitzer Prize finalist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6994def9aa2824311a43d901/fd22ace4-4ce0-488c-8998-b438073385c8/Screenshot+2026-07-31+at+7.10.22%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Our Current Fave Hidden Gems - Honestly, We Meant Well, Grant Ginder Can the perfect family vacation solve all your existing problems at home? That’s the crux of this delightfully engrossing read. The author’s latest book So Old, So Young was a huge hit this year so I decided to check out one of Ginder’s earlier novels. This one piqued my interest because of its amusing title and image of a Greek beach. But it brings a lot of depth to its destination spot. This is a funny novel that covers academia, marriage, family dysfunction and regrets. Bonus points for an evocative portrait of modern Greece and deft use of some classic mythology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6994def9aa2824311a43d901/15652b44-d8e8-4690-a6f2-0db7876655f5/Screenshot+2026-07-31+at+7.11.08%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Our Current Fave Hidden Gems - June Baby, Shannon Garvey I endured a lot of rainy days this summer so I took solace in a book that had such a strong sense of place that I could practically feel my toes in the sand while reading. It’s a coming-of-age novel by a debut author. The main character, Ruth, has been escaping to Block Island for years ever since losing her mom. It’s always been a place that nurtures her creativity but she has not become the writer she wants to be. This year, she’s facing more heartbreak and explosive family secrets. For fans of Lily King’s books Writers and Lovers and Heart the Lover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6994def9aa2824311a43d901/b0864a9d-5b75-41b3-9fa0-166a675eaf68/Screenshot+2026-07-31+at+7.11.56%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Our Current Fave Hidden Gems - Demon Copperhead, Barbara Kingsolver I’m probably the last person to have read this Pulitzer-Prize winner but if you have been holding off for some reason, run to your local bookstore. Kingsolver delivers a majestic tale with a narrator you’ll love and worry about so much. It’s a retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic David Copperfield and captures childhood poverty and drug addiction in rural America so poignantly. If you have already read this novel, there is great news. Kingsolver’s next book Partita also sounds fabulous and will be out October 6th. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6994def9aa2824311a43d901/29956de8-75e7-49bb-a39f-b2e04e64d6ed/Screenshot+2026-07-27+at+2.43.17%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Our Current Fave Hidden Gems - Dogs, Boys, And Other Things I’ve Cried About, Isabel Klee This tender memoir can be summed up very simply. People can rehabilitate dogs but people must learn to rehabilitate themselves. The author finds herself, during the pandemic, volunteering at a local animal shelter. As time goes on, she discovers that the relationship she creates with these sad, abandoned and misused creatures is something that she both loves and is good at. Conversely, her relationship with men is much more complicated. As she morphs into a tender and talented foster mom, she finds herself falling in and out of relationships with men. Eventually she learns to change, not only the lives of the animals she loves but her own life as well. I cried lots as I followed her journey. https://www.thebookswappodcast.com/blog-1-copy-1-1 daily 0.75 2026-10-07 https://www.thebookswappodcast.com/blog-1-copy-1-1/Blog Post Title
