Other Indie FavoritesLove Me Back: A Novel, by Merritt Tierce (Doubleday, $23.95) “Not for the faint of heart or for those who need redemptive tales, Love Me Back is the story of Marie, a very smart, hard-working, but self-destructive young woman waitressing at a high-end restaurant in Dallas. In spare prose, Tierce brings the reader inside the world of the service industry and inside the head of a 20-something who makes many bad choices. Drugs, alcohol, casual sex, rundown apartments—these are the everyday things of Marie’s existence. Tierce skillfully draws the reader into this world with a story that is eye opening, sometimes shocking, but never dull. Recommended!” —Ellen Burns,BooksontheCommon,Ridgefield,CT

Good Grief: Life in a Tiny Vermont Village, by Ellen Stimson (Countryman Press, $23.95)“After reading Stimson’s earlier book, Mud Season, I knew I wanted to at least be Facebook friends with her. Now that I’ve read Good Grief, I wish she were my next door neighbor because everyone needs fun, witty people like her in their lives. Stimson’s new memoir hits all the high points for readers—it is witty, philosophical, laugh-out-loud funny, and totally relatable. Laugh along with her atthemundaneandnot-so-mundanesituationsthatcanflareupunexpectedly in life.” —Sue Roegge, Chapter2Books, Hudson, WI

Another Indie FavoriteDept.ofSpeculation:ANovel,byJennieOffill(Vintage, $15) “I found myself gasping at the sheer beauty andconcisenessofOffill'ssentences.Thisbookcanbedevouredin two hours, or you can linger in it over many sittings (or both). It'saboutloveandlonelinessandgriefandjoyandfidelityandbeauty and depression and mania and motherhood and writing. The shifting points of view were subtle yet profound, and, despite the darkness and sadness of the story, when I closed the book, I was left more alert and attentive, more alive. Highly recommended.” —Janet Geddis, Avid Bookshop, Athens, GA

novel is told from the perspective of 11-year-
old amateur ornithologist N
aomi, know
n as ‘C
hirp.’ When C
hirp’s mother is diagnosed w
ith a devastating disease, each m
ember of the fam
ily is affected differently. C
hirp copes by throwing
herself into her birdwatching and a friendship
with a neighborhood boy w
ho himself is no
stranger to family discord. R
ealistic, haunting, and lovely, this is a book for parents to share w
ith their children, for book clubs to discuss, and for teachers to read aloud.” —
