The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

Hello Friend We Missed You by Richard Owain Roberts
disjointed blog post on a very affecting new novel
Blue Nights by Joan Didion
very little on the book, lots of rage at the slow quietening of June’s global protest movement
Washington Square by Henry James
a mediocre short novel
Passing Ceremony by Helen Weinzweig
flawless 1970s fiction exploring dementia; plus shirtless pic
