What's on the Nightstand?

First up, we've got Deacon King Kong by James McBride. This one's a wild ride, folks. It's like a Southern Gothic novel met a Coen Brothers movie, and they had a love child. It's got more twists than a country road, and it's sure to keep you guessing until the very end.

And if you're in the mood for something a little lighter, check out Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. This is a sci-fi thriller that'll make you feel like you're back in high school science class, but in the best way possible. It's like Interstellar meets The Martian, and it's out of this world (pun intended).
