#11 on my December bookspin.
pickThis 6th #SweetValleyChristmas is my favorite! In an It‘s A Wonderful Life-esque twist, Elizabeth gets a taste of a Sweet Valley without her, after she wants to disappear after giving away the Christmas party fund to a family at the homeless shelter, her guardian angel, Laura, shows her— Sarah Thomas & Denny Jacobsen are both dead, the Wakefield family‘s in shambles (divorce, tattoos— the Unicorns are Sharks) & life without her just isn‘t Sweet!
pickBook #11 in the Hidden Norfolk series. This one is a sad one. I thought I had it figured out from the beginning, and I did get it mostly right, but the turns to get there were not what I expected.
I am a cis heterosexual white male. Aside from being (lower) middle class, I probably won't be too personally affected by the new fascist regime that has been elected. But I have, like, two or three cis heterosexual white male friends. My friends are queer or childless cat/dog people or women or Hispanic. I have nieces, not nephews. There are all at risk, and that is straight from the tangerine mouth. I also have conscience and a soul. This sucks.
In the craziness of the past week I forgot to work on my November list 🙈 so I whipped this one up real quick with help from my son to assign numbers. I'm currently reading #11 from October so left it as a mood Read in case I don't finish and have to roll it over to November. It's the only space not filled in for October

so-soMixed feelings with this one. It is not a great mystery story and it has some religious content which is not my thing. However, I liked the gothic atmosphere how it was described. There were something in the story tone that I liked. Those music scenes were delighted you, could felt that love for the music. But the mystery was in some aspects absurd.

pickFamily, trauma and grief are the main themes of this book about four sisters. An interesting look at how being raised in the same home is experienced in a different way but each sibling. Good writing and interesting characters make this an engaging read.

pickBoo #11 in the series. Interesting developments in the world of magic happen in this one. Along with some new love interests and a bit more upper class open mindedness.
pickIt‘s Wakefield vs. Wakefield in a special election to replace the class president (though Olivia Davidson won the election in #11, now it‘s Linda Lloyd who‘s moving to TX). Another book fair is planned & the new president will get to decide how to use the proceeds. Liz wants to buy a VCR for the school to use while Jess wants to throw a costume party. Nerdy Randy Mason is also nominated while dirty tricks are played by both Wakefield twins! Fun!!
