WINNER! 2014 ReLit AWARD (NOVEL CATEGORY)
Nate’s nervous mother chews gum at warp speed and has a bob that resembles Darth Vader’s helmet. His icy father dabbles part-time in the death trade at a funeral home after working for a decade in the insurance racket. His older sister Holly is always lurking in the shadows or away at school. Nate, a creative, messy, and anxious teen, has chosen Randy Savage as his hero. As he finishes high school, the world to which Savage belongs is quickly waning in popularity, and Nate begins to see the wrestler’s downfall mirrored in his own life. But not until the family dismantles for good in 1994 does Nate’s life truly begin to fracture.
Savage 1986-2011 chronicles the middle-class implosion of Nate’s nuclear family, bracketed by July 1986 — when he first saw Randy Savage in person — and the wrestler’s sudden death in May 2011. When Savage dies, Nate is freed from beliefs — once a source of beauty and escape — that had come to constrict him, fusing him to a moribund past.
The novel is about the blurred lines between child and adult roles and the ever-changing landscape of interior heroism. Whether dealing with a family’s economic turbulence, the scarring effects of teenage love, or creating a new family order, Moore revisits, remasters, and repackages a twenty-five year family odyssey with guts, honesty, and love.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR SAVAGE 1986-2011
“This is Running Backwards with Scissors in Leaside. Nathaniel G. Moore’s emotional atomic drops and body slams in Savage (1986-2011) put the nuke in nuclear family. Moore writes in Technicolor™ — he’s a poet of fractured reality, minstrel of meltdown, clown prince of sad suburban absurdity.” –Zsuzsi Gartner, author of Better Living Through Plastic Explosives
“Moore does something quite large here. He builds that cardboard box in your basement. The one filled with things you’ve forgotten, or tried to. You don’t want to open it but once you do you find it quite impossible to close or to forget. Much like the too tight, just right words you’ll find in Savage 1986-2011, reflecting a world which now cannot be unbuilt. This is familiar country visited in a brand new way. Open the box.” –Michael Blouin, author of the award-winning Chase and Haven
“Author Nathaniel G. Moore presents an inter-generational family saga so remote from the tropes overworked by fellow Canadian authors that one hesitates to even label it a ‘novel’ – a word, for me, poisoned by too many visits to the cow barn (and the silent, fraught-with-baking-eulogies kitchen table).” –RM Vaughan, author of Spells
“Like one of those albums you can’t stop playing, Savage is immediately catchy, thrilling and electric with an honest beauty and wild energy. Nathaniel Moore brings us on a journey into a hidden world of secret lovers, cool sisters, morgues, wrestlers and exorcisms that shimmers and ignites behind the facades of ordinary suburbia. This book is a great read, but it’s also an insightful, moving look at a family and society on the verge of collapse.” –Rebecca Godfrey, author of The Torn Skirt
REVIEWERS ON SAVAGE “…cringe-inducingly honest and uncommonly brave … Savage succeeds best as a showcase for Moore’s convulsively unbridled prose acrobatics. Like a punch-drunk anti-Hemingway, he tosses around verbiage like Pollock flung paint: promiscuously, recklessly. … There’s little joy in what he describes, but much joy — and improbable gobs of humour — in the describing.” –Broken Pencil

Book Review 📖🍎 42/30: Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📝Mini Description: The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents, Stan and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. They’re killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. But after fifty years of marriage, and four children, they’ve finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable? When Joy goes missing the Delaney siblings face a hard dilemma, do they tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect is their father? 🌟Mini Review: I really enjoyed this book! The size of it was definitely intimidating at first, but once I got into it I flew through it. I did go into it thinking it was a thriller but it definitely gave off more mystery/family drama vibes. Very similar feel to We are the Brennan's, I could not put it down! I haven't read any of Liane Moriarty's other books, but Apples Never Fall has motivated me to read more by her! Definitely recommend reading this if you haven't yet! 📖🍎✨ 🏷 #applesneverfall #lianemoriarty #lianemoriartybooks #thrillerbooks #thrillerbooksaddict #thrillerbook #mysterybooks #mysterybook #biglittlelies #nineperfectstrangers #buzzireviews #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookreviews #popularbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #indigobooks #canadianbookstagram #canadianbookishlovers #canadianbookstagrammer (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUNIzWsLXCO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hello Book Friends! ❤️ I cleaned up my bookshelves to see how many books I have not read yet. I fell off my chair when I realized that there are so many books in my collection that I have not read. Time to stop buying books and start reading what I have. #stackofshame . ☕ QOTD: Do you know someone who has a perfect or not so perfect name for their profession? I know a gastroenterologist whose last name is Gasse (pronounce “gas”) and a lawyer whose last name is Lawless. 😳 . #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #bookphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B5P2oKWgOYC/?igshid=6gcur5mrn6fy

Happy #socksunday 💜 B•O•O•K▪︎ R•E•V•I•E•W #aurorarising Rating: DNF (chapter 6) I was given fair warning by @thebookprescription about this book. But I've been on a sci-fi kick and LOVED Illuminae. So I wanted to give this one a try. To be fair, the premise sounded like it would be up my alley and I DID walk into it without any expectations. Kudos @thebookprescription for seeing it through till the end, cause quite frankly, I got tired of hearing about Tyler's dimples, killer smile, how hot he was and his scar on his right eyebrow. I lasted 6 chapters and could have sworn the story was titled Captain Hotness & his dimples. Seriously, there was not one chapter that didn't mention them. Or his good looks. Or his tousled hair. This could have been a great story, cause it was moving quite nicely with Auri, but it was those stupid dimples! They were annoying..like Steve Urkle level of annoying! Still wanna read this one? Then I highly suggest the library. . . . #yabookstagram #yalovin #overhypedbooks #dnfbooks #bookstamums #bookstagram #bookstagramcanada #readersofinstagram #readerforlife #booksandsocks #booksinbed #bookididntfinish #canadianbookstagram #newbookstagram #bookswithfaces #librarybooks #mybookfeatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JXrX-Aps2/?igshid=9wng1kektw89

If there’s one book I’ve been waiting for for quite some time, it’s this one. I absolutely adored The Gentleman’s Guide! I think I ended up finishing it in a day, and I’ve been excited ever since to see what Felicity has been up to. She was easily one of my favourite characters from the first book. - Qotd: What book are you currently reading right now, and who is your favourite character so far?? - - - - - - - {#theladysguidetopetticoatsandpiracy #thegentlemansguidetoviceandvirtue #tggtvav #tlgtpap #mackenzilee #yalit #yafantasy #booktags #bookstagram #books #bookstagrammer #reading #bibliophile #ireadya #bookshelf #canadianbookstagram} https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVBumHHe92/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uyqgr8bgxj5t

Review time 🥰 When a woman inherits a Parisian apartment undisturbed since WWII, she discovers that it may hold the key to unravelling her cold and distant great-grandmother's secret life -- a past of sacrifice during a mission to protect those she loved The Paris Apartment by @kellybowen09 is a compelling historical fiction full of fantastic imagery that transports the readers into the present-day along with WWII Paris. Bowen has created a novel that hooks readers on the first page with the imagery that she has created. I generally navigate towards fantasy but The Paris Apartment has made me fall in love with historical fiction. Kelly is able to incorporate a timeless feel when reading the novel. I had difficulties putting the novel down. By the time I finished it was 12 am! To summarize this novel all I can say is breathtaking, transforming and heartbreaking~ in the best way! Thank you to @mbc_books and @kellybowen09 for providing me with a copy of this fantastic novel ❤️ #Bookstagramfeature #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #HumansofBookstagram #Bibliophhile #Bookish #Bookishgirl #Bookishfeatures #bookstafeatures #Bookwormfeatures #Bookphotography #Bookworm, #booknerd #bookaholic #bookaddict #booknerdigans #bookobsessed #Bookblogger #discoveraccountsunder5k #canadianbookstagram #bookishcanadian https://www.instagram.com/p/CM4-pWDrOoG/?igshid=1j33104ky0u1r

41/30: Lock Every Door by Riley Sager Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mini Description: Lock Every Door follows Jules, a down-on-her luck young woman who takes a questionable job apartment sitting in one of the oldest, most glamorous and mysterious buildings in New York City. There are many rules to the job: no visitors, no nights spent away from the apartment and no disturbing other residents. What seems easy money at first becomes daunting as an isolated Jules searches for answers in another tenant's disappearance. 👍 ⏰ Page turning thriller ⁉️ Always wondering what is going on 🗝 Decades of old locked up secrets 🧟♀️ Creepy vibes 🎧 Amazing on audio 🤯 Shocking ending 🌪 So many twists and turns 🗽 Set in New York City 🧐 Intriguing characters 👎 🤦♂️ Riley Sagers naive female protagonists 🔀 Back and forth between timeframes got a bit confusing 😕 Ending was shocking but kind of meh Recommend?: Yes! This was my second Riley Sager book and I enjoyed it a million times for than Survive the Night. Although Riley's female protagonists make my blood boil with their immense naiveness, I still really really enjoyed the plot and twists of Lock Every Door! 🏷 #booksparks #botwxbs @booksparks #buzzireviews #rileysager #lockeverydoor #thrillerbooks #thrillerbooksaddict #thrillerbook #spookybooks #spookybookstagram #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #bookrecommendation #bookrecs #bookrec #canadianbookstagram #canadianbookstagrammer (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUIckJTLYDX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Love this so much!! 💜🙏🏽🌺 Repost @theobscureboleyngirl with @get_repost ・・・ 📰🍷Book Review💋🎭 “They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I counter that with hell hath no fury like a woman with a purpose.” If you’ve read The Beast of Beswick, you may feel you know Astrid’s sister Isobel already. If so, you would be sorely mistaken. The bulk of The Rakehell of Roth takes place three years after Isobel’s marriage to Winter Vance. Since then he has wedded her, bedded her and left her {all in the same night} to rot in his country estate. Finally fed up reading about his conquests in the newssheets, she decides to travel to London and confront her carousing husband, and maybe just give him a taste of what he’s been missing. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I love the feminist spin that Howard puts on her historical romance novels. The quotes from “Lady Darcy” at the beginning of each chapter are smart, fiery and as relative today as they would have been then. Both Winter and Isobel have much more to them than meets the eye and I loved watching each of them discover the hidden aspects of one another throughout this book. Although this is a second instalment in the Everleigh Sisters series, it can be read as a stand alone novel, but don’t do yourself that particular disservice. I highly recommend picking up The Beast of Beswick first for maximum enjoyment. “It’s better to regret something you’ve actually had the guts to do, Dearest Friend, than to regret not doing anything at all.” 🏷 #TheRakehellOfRoth #AmalieHoward #TheBeastOfBeswick #BookReview #HistoricalRomance #RegencyRomance #FeministRomance #MarchReads #BookFlatlay #TOBGReadingChallenge #Bookstagram #Bookstagrammer #NSBookstagrammer #CanadianBookstagram #BooksOfInstagram #Bookish #Bookworm #Bibliophile #BooksBooksBooks #BookishCanadians #ReadersOfInsta #LightroomEdits #Instabook #BookReviewer #ILoveReading #WhatIRead #ForTheLoveOfBooks #BibliophileLife #BookObsessed #Bookgram https://www.instagram.com/p/CMX3_e1AK2j/?igshid=fxo78eaj4kug

This Wednesday, Feb 17th is #IReadCanadianDay! I'm so pleased to be an author ambassador for @bookeryfergus in my beautiful, historic hometown of Fergus, Ontario (@fergusontario). I practically lived in the bookstores and libraries of Fergus growing up, and I encourage you to take a walk through the lovely down town and visit The Bookery—they’ve got gorgeous books, magical tomes, and incredible things to discover. You can find them at bookery.ca . This photo was taken at the Fergus Library at the hometown launch for my debut novel #TRIPTYCH (yes, I replaced the background so the text was legible), and I think it’s wonderful that I was able to come full circle—from sitting in this library listening to #storytime as a child, to standing at the front of it, telling a tale I wrote myself! This is why it’s so, so, so important to read to and with children, especially #CanadianKidLit. . #IReadCanadian #ReadTheNorth #BooksBooksBooks #CanadianAuthor #Shelfie #Read #AmReading #books #canadian #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #canadianbookstagram #KidLit #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TheBookery #Fergus #FergusOntario #reading https://www.instagram.com/p/CLR47zSg4BB/?igshid=6arkpnyg51xu
