Neil Gaiman’s newest book, Norse Mythology, is a witty and lively rendition of classic stories
about the Norse pantheon—populated by Thor, Odin, Freya, and Loki (among
others). Gaiman’s novelistic recitation
of Norse myths is a more modern storyline that spans from creation to the
apocalypse, Ragnarok, and whose stories range from the absurdly funny to the
more serious depictions of the underworld.
This novel is a fantastic introduction to the Norse mythos that is both
entertaining and engaging.

Set in northern Idaho, Emily Ruskovich’s debut novel is
one of the rare instances in which beautifully written prose combines with a
stunning page-turner. Told from multiple
perspectives, Idaho intertwines an evocative
story of one family with a beautiful homage to the physical landscape,
resulting in a psychologically astute book that is a haunting observance of
compassion and the triumphs of love.
