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.
pickBest woman written by a man I‘ve read in ages and turns out none of the women are human! 🤬
I‘ve had this sitting in my Kindle library for ages and never got around to reading. It‘s actually pretty damn engaging.
Oops. I was searching for something else at the library (don‘t remember what) and this came up in the search results. I thought it sounded like fun so I put it on hold. Today I took it out to start reading and noticed the “author of” a book with a suspiciously similar name on the cover. Sure enough, this is book 2 in a series. Why don‘t they just say that in the cover/subtitle? 🙄 Thankfully my library does have book 1 so I have it on hold now!
pickThis author wrote The Glass Castle, a book that stayed with me a long time. I thought this one would be good, it was. Set in the South when families ruled small communities, the story tells of Sallie Kincaid's life as the daughter of the town 'boss'. An engrossing story of how everyone lives were mixed up together in unexpected ways. This is a story of sometimes taking the law into your hands, when laws are unjust.
Recommend!
Has anyone taken advantage of this sale!?!?
Lots of great ones!
panCouldn‘t finish it, the storyline is not for me personally.
pickThis was a really interesting historical fiction story. I really liked how the story progressed from Sallie‘s childhood onward and the relationships she had throughout the book as her life changed. Very well written and an interesting read.
