If you liked Demon Copperhead, read Empire Of Pain. It is about the Sackler family and will put some of the warnings in the book into context.

I read it before Demon Copperhead and SO MUCH of what the aunt said reminded me of Empire Of Pain. I am hopeful the SCOTUS decision will hold them accountable but, as this is America, I don't think it will. Thank you for the book suggestions...I am at the limit of holds at the library!

Congratulations on the new house! How exciting! Completely agree with you on In the Dream House Demon Copperhead, and Hamnet. Several others are on my TBR list. It's funny, I just posted my Best Fiction I Read in 2023 on Friday, too. We seem to have similar taste.

YAY! Happy to have this land in my inbox - always love reading what you write. And, not that I'm ever really lacking for books to read, I'll happily file this one away for ideas when I get in a rut. Great Circle has been on my shelf for a long time....this motivated me to bump it up to the top. I loved Demon Copperhead - it was probably my favorite read of 2023 and I agree, you want to follow Demon anywhere from the minute you meet him. Here's to more great books in 2024. xo

Remember when "blogsophere" was a word that people used? And an actual thing? I miss those days.
