I reach under my pillow until I feel the solid cover of my book and pull it out. A notebook full of practice letters. As and Bs. And so on to Zs.
Today is the day. I turned to a clean page, and I write.
WINTERFOLK

Rain doesn't wish on stars anymore. For as long as she can remember, her home has been among the Winterfolk, a group of homeless people living outside Seattle. Being homeless has taught Rain how to be invisible. But when she discovers that the city plans to sweep out the Winterfolk's camp, her world is shattered.

Sometimes I‘m a ghost.
But this morning‘s air is heavy with the scent of our bodies, me and Dad‘s. Our unwashed laundry. Our rock dreams.
And I remember.
I‘m not a ghost.

Thanks for the tag @KateReadsYA
❄️ I am participating in the #jolabokaflodswap and the #winterwonderlandswap this season… I am also 8 books from my goal so I will be finishing that up!

❄️❄️Growing up we always cut down our own Christmas tree and it is those times that I find the most special!

Christmas is so my holiday and I love the holiday season in general, so this is so my jam. I‘ve done it every year and it‘s so fun! I love all the games and challenges and having an excuse to watch as many Christmas movies as I can. And knock as many books off my TBR too 😉

Can‘t wait!

Mehso-so

I love this cover, but for me the book was just meh. I appreciate the author‘s effort to put a face on people living in homelessness, but the main character was sheltered to a degree that just didn‘t ring true.

This story gives new perspective to the world around us. It shows a different view of how the world works. The main character is different from others I have read. She sees the world as magic. I wish the world was more like the way Rain sees it. This book was very pleasurable to read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Crazeedi I'm not a movie person! I would be a bad participant, so I'm going to enjoy reading everyone's posts. 5y
gradcat Thanks so much for tagging me! I‘m going to make a big push on my Booked2019 reading, and so I‘m not sure if I‘ll have very much time. But I‘ll think about it for sure. Thanks again! 5y

EadieB @gradcat what do you have left to read for Booked 2019? 5y
gradcat @EadieB All six of the winter prompts...I‘ve been so slow this year. I keep getting interrupted. Right now, I‘m reading the tagged book, and LOVING it. I would not have read this book, but for #Booked2019 ♥️ 5y
gradcat @EadieB Oh, not the “Deluxe Edition”...don‘t know what that entails! 😂 5y
EadieB @gradcat At least you are loving it! Nothing worse than having to read something you don‘t like. 5y
gradcat @EadieB I know, right? And I have enjoyed reading books I wouldn‘t have otherwise read. Still, I‘m considering forgoing it for 2020, because I want to read more of the books I love with you guys, like #NordicNoir, and others in that kind of genre. 5y
EadieB @gradcat That a good idea as always fun to read the same book with others! 5y
gradcat I know I really love reading with you guys. @Tove_Reads @Crazeedi @Andrew65 & you, Eadie. ♥️📖 5y
Tove_Reads I love reading with you guys, but Christmas is not my thing. I‘m not a Christian, and I don‘t want to celebrate something I don‘t believe in. I‘m ready to join in on and continue all the other things we are doing though 🙂 (edited) 5y
gradcat @Tove_Reads It‘s kind of an extremely busy time as well. And I am very in touch with your feelings re Christmas. 5y

Rain is a homeless teen living with her father in the woods outside Seattle, near a community of other homeless people called the Winterfolk. She finds safety and sanctuary in this hidden world—until the day that safety is shattered when she learns the city plans to clear the woods of everyone who lives there. Now she‘s forced to confront Seattle, which is full of strange sights, sounds, people—and memories...
