pickI loved this memoir of a truly remarkable woman who knew early on that focusing on helping others was the way to go. All the respect to her! Now I need to find a copy of her latest! #bookspin
Up next…my September #bookspin pick! I bought this at Ernest Hemingway‘s house on a trip to Key West back in 2020.

Next up is an #arc from #netgalley that I‘m finally getting around to.
This was also my June's #bookspin pick.
pickSuch a fun and strange (in a good way) graphic novel!
The premise is very cool. It‘s about a soon to be 13 year old girl who starts getting nightmares of her impending doom filled birthday (she‘s born on 4/4, which is considered unlucky in Chinese culture). These dreams somehow end up in the comic she is creating.

pickFirst off, it was interesting that the book was a story within a story and had 3 narrators (Walton, Frankenstein, and the Creature). That was something I wasn‘t expecting but it worked.
The star of the story was the Creature (aka Frankenstein‘s monster). The Creature was the epitome of being othered. He was so misunderstood and just wanted to belong and feel loved.
