The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay

Paul Tremblay's new one, THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD, comes out in June. You should mark it on your calendar, it's that good. Thought-provoking and terrifying.

The Nix by Nathan Hill

I'm reading THE NIX, by Nathan Hill. Just started, but so far it's got me laughing hysterically. First 50 pages are worth the price.

Laura Lippman's latest novel, WILDE LAKE, is a knockout. You should get right on that.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
