Holy crap. I thought I was slacking the whole time.
My approach to what books I picked? Accumulate a wide variety over the week. Put them all on the same shelf and pick the one at that moment I most want to read based upon the current mood - and time frame.
Favorite of the bunch? Surprisingly the youngest one - Shooting the Moon. I really, really liked that. Reviews later. Probably.
Check out MotherReader for the whole rundown.
PS - dude. Two Michigan writers on this list - Kasischke and Schmidt. Neither have websites that I can discover. What's up with that?

Michigan authors kick butt. Especially those two.
I can't find a website for Laura either. There's a site for the new film version of The Life Before Her Eyes, however.
I am anxious to hear your thoughts on all of these books. I've only read Feathered.`
I want reviews/thoughts on ALL of them.
Please.
