Just read Save Our Souls by Matthew Pearl, which recounts the Wandering Minstrel shipwreck and the struggle of its crew to survive. Mostly adults, but otherwise echoed Lord of the Flies in many respects

For today’s #LayoverLibrary, I’m reading ‘Save Our Souls’ by @matthewpearlauthor.bsky.social. The book tells the harrowing story of the ‘Wandering Minstrel’, a sharking vessel which ran aground at Midway, leaving its crew trapped with a murderer on the island.

Matthew Pearl has great fun in THE AWARD, an unapologetically cynical novel about the clash of a hopeful would-be writer and a churlish established author.

Being new here, I want to dispel the rumor that I would use entreating dog eyes to get your attention that I have a new novel, #TheAward, from @harpercollins.bsky.social and that Petey and Honey will only be happy if you read this book that's being called "spellbinding." I would never! #BookSky

Run to your nearest bookstore to pickup Matthew Pearl’s literary gem. This story of the cutthroat world of authors is suspenseful, eye opening, & gripping. I read it in a few hours. The realistic storyline makes me wonder about the author’s past. He did say some of it was real. 😳😉 #BookSky 💙📚
