Teenage Elio does a lot of growing up the summer he falls in love with Oliver, an older doctoral student staying with Elio's family. I loved this book (and the film adaptation).

Crazeedi @Andrew65 not necessarily, only if you really want to, I just didn't want scary stuff anymore, enough real life scary sometimes 6y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi Isn‘t that the truth! 6y
Ashley_Nicoletto I‘ve read IT and it‘s super terrifying. LOL. But I loved Dolores Claiborne and Salem‘s Lot! Read them! They are so great. 6y
Andrew65 @Ashley_Nicoletto Thanks, possibly try one of them first. 6y
Karkar He has some more murder mystery type books that are not so scary - 6y
Becksbayda Ohhh try “Desperation” one of my all time fav‘s 🙌🏻 6y

This was one of my favorite books when I was little! I still have it somewhere, in a box of books I kept for my kids, and now for my granddaughter. #MusicalNewYear #WhenIGrowUp @Cinfhen @vivastory

Bob Greene grew up in Bexley OH, where I also grew up and now live with my husband (we've come full circle!) This book details his childhood friendships and the bonds they made that lasted into adulthood. Not only did my uncles go to school with Bob but my Mother-in-Law and her sisters were all buds with Bob and his sister too... small town life! 😆 #whenigrowup

Cinfhen I think that‘s what I miss most about living in the States!! I literally knew everyone, my kids were 6th generation Philadelphians 6y
Cinfhen I love full circle ⭕️ 6y
ravenlee My sister had a HS teacher who made such a big deal about living in Bexley - she wanted everyone to know she was so much better than they were (in Gahanna). It gave me a bad image of Bexley for a long time. 6y

The Bishop's Pawn | Steve Berry
post image
Pickpick

Cotton Malone had no ambitions to be a special investigator, yet he was thrust into that position one day in 1999 when he is sent out to retrieve a rare coin and FBI papers related to the MLK assassination.

I read this book only because it is centered around MLK. I was pleasantly surprised by how many historical facts and circumstances were woven into this book. Berry made sure to stick to the facts when possible. #whenigrowup #musicalnewyear

Cinfhen I ordered Pawn from #BookOutlet for hubby... I m glad you didn‘t hate it!! I read this one by Berry and really liked it (edited) 6y
Reviewsbylola I really appreciated how strong the historical narrative was and Berry even had an index in the back which told exactly what was truth and what was not. I was thinking of passing this onto my dad because the fast paced detective thrilled reminds me of the James Patterson books he loves. @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen My hubby loves the cotton malone series!! I think most if not all are rooted in actual history and Berry is always careful about documenting what is fact & what is imagined. I think your dad will enjoy and I don‘t think the books need to be read in chronological order 6y
vivastory This sounds really interesting! 6y

No one claims "I want to be an alcoholic when I grow up." All he ever wanted was to play ball, but his dad pushed him into it from the time he was a toddler. He was a top athlete but after baseball, couldn't negotiate life and family. Slow suicide
#whenigrowup #musicalnewyear @vivastory @Cinfhen

Cinfhen So sad! Great choice 6y
Eggs Thanks @Cinfhen 6y
vivastory Such a sad story 6y
Eggs @vivastory Yes, some of his sons were alcoholics as well 😔😔 6y
