pick“Claudia Guadalupe Martínez‘s gentle, poetic text offers just enough language to anchor the reader emotionally and historically within the journey. By telling the story through a child‘s voice, she brings a subtle intimacy to a moment of historical trauma that turns the political into something deeply personal.”

pickThis was a fun read. It was an epic end to a series. It was full of laughs and good humor. This is a great book to read after a long day. And I finished the audiobook perfectly by turning on the radio and listening to Huntrix‘s Golden, after a long day of dashing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickWhen I started reading this book, it reminded me a lot of Poltergeist (film). Here is a memoir from the 1980s in Crosby, TX: when a family unknowingly moves into a new subdivision that was built over a historical Black cemetery, they quickly find themselves in an unreal situation. I couldn‘t help but be reminded of how many Black communities have been destroyed and covered up (Central Park, Lake Lanier, etc).
pickRead this for the mystery book club I help lead at work, but as rural noir, it works for the #christmascrimechallenge as well! It's very good and I'm sure I'll read the rest of the trilogy at some point.

Lonesome Dove has been on my TBR list for a long time (36+ hours makes it good value for my Audible credit) but only 1 and 3 are on audio. Anyway, I finally decided to take the plunge and enjoyed this much more than expected. Despite its age, it was not a gung-ho American tale of the Wild West, and it was also less violent than a novel written today would be (although still quite violent). Waiting on 2 to arrive in hard copy
pickThis was such a cute story. Definitely recommend if you‘re looking for a slow read. It‘s all about friendship and trying to discover yourself. I enjoy reading this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickThe new audio version is incredible. I spent several weeks listening. Every time I wanted to just keep listening, I forced myself to wait because I didn‘t want it to end. I can‘t recommend highly enough. Then I watch the original miniseries which is know for being closer to the original than any adaptation. It was amazing too. I‘ll be returning to this one which is highly unusual for me. I can‘t recommend this highly enough.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.
