All the Acorns on the Forest Floor | Kim Hooper

#12DaysOfChristmas #12BooksOf2023

October brought me this short story collection by an author I hadn‘t heard of but who was recommended by @Megabooks And rightly so. It‘s an amazing book with interwoven stories about women and I am so glad @Itchyfeetreader sent me another book by Kim Cooper for #jolabokaflod. Can‘t wait to read more by her!

What a gorgeous book. So well written, this collection of separate yet interwoven stories about becoming a mother, or being one, or wanting to be one or not.
The stories are very to the point yet not minimalistic. Exactly how I like it. I must read more by Kim Hooper.

Thanks for the recommendation Meg 🩷🩷

Megabooks I‘ve read Tiny 4.5⭐️, People Who Knew Me 5⭐️, and No Hiding in Boise 4.25⭐️ and loved all three. I‘d say read the blurbs and go with your gut! 7mo

BarbaraBB Thanks! I will! @Megabooks (edited) 7mo

@Cinfhen I couldn‘t actually get you 10 for my #TopTenSummer2023. I have been stingy AF this year, but I highly recommend all 9 of these! The top row are the best three - a new-to-me author who brings so much emotion to her writing, the beach read queen, and a memoir I was happy to reread with #CampLitsy23!

Suet624 Screenshot! I haven‘t read any of these. 9mo

Soubhiville Oooo, intriguing list. Headed over to Libby to add to the audio TBR! 9mo

Megabooks @Suet624 I hope you find some you like! 9mo

Megabooks @Soubhiville fantastic!! 👍🏻👍🏻 9mo

Chelsea.Poole The Vanishing Point and Southernmost are both on my list! Dreamtown I‘m curious about…happy to see them all on your list! 9mo

Megabooks @Chelsea.Poole I think you‘d like all three! Very curious about what you‘ll think of dream Town as an Ohio person. 9mo

BarbaraBB I‘ve been waiting for this!! I pre-ordered Acorns and definitely want to read the Brundage too. Any others I‘d like? 9mo

Cinfhen Wow!! What a surprising grid!!! 😍 and I‘m so glad to see some NF choices up there🙌🏻 9mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB you might enjoy Southernmost. I‘d be interested to read what you think of a window into some people in Kentucky/Tennessee. I think its deep relatability to my life is what pushed it to the top. The Facebook whistleblower book (The Power of One) is interesting and has some international focus, but is fairly long. Only if you were really in the mood to dig deep into nonfiction or it fit a challenge prompt (something about big tech). 9mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I do think you‘ll love the two you‘ve chosen already!! 9mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen yes! I think you‘d enjoy Dream Town and Kingdom of Prep! 👍🏻👍🏻 9mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen also the power of one would be an interesting one if you had the inclination to dive into big tech/whistleblowers for a challenge prompt if you can #BorrowNotBuy. 9mo

Megabooks @Cinfhen I also want you to try one of the Hooper titles on hoopla! Maybe not that exact one, but read all of hers and see what you‘re in the mood for. 👍🏻👍🏻 9mo

BarbaraBB Southernmost sounds great and I do like to know more about where you live. Will try and purchase it! 9mo

5⭐️ and best book of August goes to Hooper‘s linked short story collection about motherhood. She explores characters that pop up in surprising ways in each other‘s lives and the very different routes to and reasons for choosing to be and not to be a mother. A nurse with fertility problems considers stealing a baby. A first-time mom grieves a late miscarriage while pregnant again. A woman leaves a boyfriend because she‘s afraid to become a stepmom.

Megabooks @Cinfhen her books are available on Hoopla, but I‘m hesitant to recommend anything to you these days! 😂😂 9mo

Cinfhen Hahaha 🤣 im definitely intrigued and willing to #BorrowNotBuy 😚😘 9mo

BarbaraBB I bought it! Will take a few weeks until its arrival but it sounds like a must! 9mo

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yay! I hope you enjoy it! 9mo

Suet624 This sounds great. I love books with stories like this 9mo
