Sweet Dream Baby | Sterling Watson

12-year-old Travis leaves his home to spend the summer with his paternal grandparents and 16-year-old aunt, Delia in Florida. This might have been a sweet coming of age story, but it is most definitely not. Instead, it is a story about obsession that is almost impossible to put down.

Swanna in Love | Jennifer Belle

3.75⭐
This girl‘s mom…SMH.
The narrative surrounding Swanna was truly thought-provoking and emotional. However, while this story invoked some strong feelings, it didn‘t quite hit with the same impact or depth as My Dark Vanessa, especially with that ambiguous-ish ending.

Thank you for my #staycationintimeswap! I love everything and looking forward to reading the books whilst drinking the coffee!

maich I hope you like it. My destination is Croatia and I didn't found Croatian authors translated in english so I sent you books from your litsy tbr. Hope that's okay. I chose coffee and chocolate, which are typical of Balkan countries (ex Yugoslavia). 3mo

jenniferw88 @maich That's absolutely fine with me. I did realise that my historical period was rather specific (and therefore difficult to get books on)! 3mo

Stealing: A Novel | Margaret Verble

This is another I picked up at the Ky book fair last year. A story about Kit, part Native-American, who is writing her story after being placed in a school/group home. She writes about events leading up to her placement, the actions of the “Christians” running the school, & what happens there. Very good story if you can deal with reading some sexual abuse (TW).

Andrea and her brother Pablo are young Puerto Rico born children living with their parents in a small rural factory town in Massachusetts. Their mother flees with them to PR and their lives are up ended as they are caught between their parents and two different cultures. They return home, but fitting in and growing up against the backdrop of the 1960‘s and 1970‘s is lonely and painful. A 4 ⭐️ pick for an inspiring and beautiful novel.

The book I listened to was The Worst of You. It was fantastic. The whodunit fairly obvious but the twists and turns to get there fun enough.

I‘m actually listening to The Worst of You but it‘s not in the database
