Underground Railroad was outrageously good. The Nickel Boys sucked me right in and even though parts of it are heartwrenching, his writing style deflects some of the pain by presenting it in a nondramatic way (if that makes sense.)

Thank you for continuing to host the weekly thread. Wish I could read a book each week like I used to.
