#WeeklyForecast. I plan on finishing Piece Like a River. I'm loving it so far
#BookReport after not reading much in October since hurricane Helene hit. I'm finally getting back in the swing of things this month.
For #NFN #nonfictionNovember I read The Foundling and Under the Banner of Heaven (not pictured)
I had three four-star reads and two five-star reads.
pickI‘ve enjoyed both books that I‘ve read by this author. (Though didn‘t care for the reader…too overly dramatic and got on my nerves). Sort of surprised this author isn‘t more well-known.
pickMy first 5 ⭐ read of the year. This is 15-year-old Wren's coming-of-age story. She lives with her parents in the mountains of West Virginia. Her father is a snake handling preacher; her mother has been beaten down by life. It is a stunning novel and I will definitely read anything else this author writes.
...if we're all out there missing someone, that means that we're all really together on that one note, aren't we? So none of us are really alone as long as we're lonely.
Daniel spared another drop of water. The tear fell to the dust. A pack rat raced out from the brush to grab it, certain it was a jewel because of its shine in the firelight. Daniel's sorrow had made it tangible enough to carry, and so the pack rat bore it back to its nest, only to later find that offspring raised on a bed of sadness fail to thrive.
May 5 #StorySettings River I just finished reading this last week. It was good. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickJust finished this book. It was my pick for this month's #BackListReadathon. One more off my floor, lol. It gave me one bingo spot #ISpyBingoApril and another for #ReadAway2024. This story happens in 1962 and is very riveting. You get to love the characters who try to move forward with tragedy that happens to them. @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @TheSpineView @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
