1) A dark damp weekend day at the lake in my reading corner; or a cool bright day on the back patio at the lake—my two “awesomest” reading spots
2) I was excited about our #authoramonth author, and so far I‘ve enjoyed the tagged book by her the most

Finished my first November #Roll100 pick (#39 Any Subscription Book) & I quite enjoyed this unusual story about a young couple Lewis & Wren.who find out shortly after their marriage that Lewis has an animal mutation & his body will turn into a great white shark. It‘s sounds odd but it becomes believable & is beautifully written too. The story moves back-&-forth in time & also tells Wren‘s story before the marriage & her mother‘s ⬇️

“We are all migrants through time.”
This book is proof that a novel doesn‘t have to be long to make an impact. The magical realism element was smart & thoughtful - ripe for analysis & discussion. A lot of the writing is lovely & really resonates, but sometimes the long run-on sentences felt tedious to me. Still, it‘s a very worthwhile inquiry of the global refugee crisis & the migration experience, appealing to the humanity in us all.
pickThe past few weeks have been filled with more medical stuff and other disappointments so even though things are improving, I have been having a really hard time reading. It was lovely to have the #authoramonth excuse to pick up a cozy reread. This was exactly what I needed, a feel good read filled with magic and charm.
pickJosey waits on her mother hand and foot, until one day a woman in town starts hiding out in her closet, and discovering Josey‘s secret stash of junk food. Della Lee, the closet lady hiding from her abusive boyfriend, encourages Josey to discover herself and love. Meanwhile Josey befriends Chloe—whose unusual magic means books appear from nowhere, giving her their own advice on her decisions (who doesn‘t want to be Chloe!). So much magic, ⬇️
I‘m loving this book. Just the kind of lovely escapism I need right now.
Listening to this one! 😃🙌
