This was a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read for me. It was amazing. The audiobook was so well done. It's not the easiest read, though.
This is an American Indian revenge story. It's raw, watch the trigger warnings, and is very visceral. It's told through diary entries & voice recordings. A failing academic Etsy receives her great great grandfather's diary detailing his past with the Blackfoot vampire Good Stab.

American Pop: A Novel | Snowden Wright

Okay. This bail is 100% on me. I really wanted this to be a book version of the History Channel‘s “Food that Built America” show. This is not like that. Family drama, oh yes. Characters that are difficult to like? You betcha. I‘m glad I found my copy at Savers for $3.99 because that‘s exactly where it‘s going back to. #HailtheBail

I liked this; giving it a pick. Heard say that this might not be the author‘s best work so I guess I am impressed enough to try more of her stories.

I laughed at times, and I cried at the end. I appreciated that explanations were deftly unrolled as the tangled histories were discovered. This book was what I needed right now. #Apr2025 Book35

Went to the bookstore for the tagged book…and since I was there, I had to visit the sale section (of course) which is where I found the other two books. So, I suppose this is also my periodic reminder that if you ever find yourself in Chicago and want to visit a bookstore, Unabridged Bookstore is fantastic and their sale section always has great deals.

Number 8 in the Brother Cadfael mysteries. Interesting twist - we don't start with a body or a crime, but a witness.

Keeping it vague, but I liked the ending when the real History suddenly shows up.

1. There have been many throughout my life. But my sweet Beagle and Dopey were the best. Beagle thought she was a cat, and Dopey thought he was dog and the two of them together were like a comedy team.

The Book of Lost Names | Kristin Harmel

The Book of Lost Names is a beautifully written tribute to quiet heroism. It is a story about the courage to defy, the strength to remember, and the quiet rebellion of a woman with a pen. Eva found a way to remember as well as save displaced children

O Pioneers! | Willa Cather

A tender read about homesteading on the raw prairie with all the challenges and heart that entailed. Strongly female centered story. These women weren‘t unique in their time, but rarely were so well represented in the period‘s contemporary fiction. I enjoyed in greatly reminding me of family histories of my own grandmother‘s.
