pickAnyone who‘s a mom knows what it‘s like to have a baby, then a toddler, then a small child. This short book is narrated by a mom going through all the stages of childhood, married to a guy who doesn‘t pitch in. Plus the child is a handful. But of course those impossible moments are balanced with beautiful memorable moments. I don‘t remember my kids as causing the anxiety and whining this woman seems to live with. A soft pick.
And I am not resigned, as old Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of Honey's favorites, would say. Lily says to Gazala;
Grief is such a stalwart, sturdy companion, maybe it just wrings the neck of pettiness for us all. Gazala opens her eyes and lifts her head to look right at Lily, She nods.
Oh, leave the pettiness, she says, if you can.
Try.

pickThis is YA novel about Colt and Julia, two teens from opposite ends of the social/financial spectrum who embark on a secret relationships is well-written but doesn‘t really end up going anywhere. Light pick.
