I’ll start, so as a teen I stumbled across a book called," Someone comes to town, someone leaves town." The synopsis caught me as it’s about a man with a mountain as a fathera washing machine as a mother and one brother that is dead and trying to harm him. I’ll admit some of the technical terms were too much for my developing mind but it has stuck with me all these years.

What is the wackiest / craziest book you’ve read and did you enjoy the ride?

    Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki.

    There is a demon, a pact to trade a soul, an abused trans girl in search of safety, an alien family (ALIEN alien, not foreigner!), an AI that presents a nuanced ethical issue, a witchy housekeeper/ cook, and a violin maker who seems cursed. Is it too much?? Yes, it is too much. And yet. I never thought I would be saying this, but it somehow all works. Is it weird? Yes. Oh, yes! AND it’s also nice and readable. I enjoyed it!
