pickThis is the story of Madge Oberholtzer who finally brought down the Klan and its powerful Grand Dragon in Indiana. Unfortunately, she had to be viciously assaulted and die to do it. Kegan does a good job explaining the background, and his book is well-researched; it‘s just difficult to listen to because of how brutal her story is. I started Malice for my #audiowalk, read The Little Liar, and we started Dead Man‘s Hand for our new road trip book.
pickZorrie is a beautiful example of quiet kindness and continuing to move forward, despite tragedy, sadness, loneliness and disappointment. Written in lovely prose, this novel is reflective and thought-provoking. Meant to be savored - a quick read would not do it justice. A wonderful selection for #SundayBuddyRead, @TheBookHippie . You really manage to find the gems! 👍💙

2️⃣ I have 2 books to finish up tonight & I can start Just for the Summer tomorrow. 🎉 Or realistically Thursday since I‘ll be in Hilo facilitating ALL DAY tomorrow. 😬
Anyone want to play along who hasn‘t yet? 🤗
pickI just can‘t put together a meaningful summary of this gem of a book-the most beautiful poetic prose I‘ve read in a long time. Hard to find language to describe how I feel after reading it. It will stay with me for a long time. What more could one ask for in literature? It has the tone of Wharton, the power of nature component of E. H. Kirkland (Love is a Wild Assault), and the magic of R. Serle and perhaps K. Center. So much to love about Zorrie~
April Stats: I read 20 books- a week off from work with mostly clouds/rain certainly helped me!
