pickA quiet yet engrossing tale of female friendships. Three Mexican girls have in common their love of embroidery. As Mila plans a memorial service for one of them, she looks back on their lives, especially how they began to grow apart during a trip to Europe in their late teens. #Translation by Christina MacSweeney #LGBTQ
“Citlali was a very selective and slow reader, managing only one chapter at a time—she hated books without chapters.”
[Note: this novel isn‘t divided into chapters. Instead, long and short sections are separated with images of a threaded needle.]
Echinoderms—starfish—can regenerate lost arms, an ability not shared by mammals. To some extent, but by no means totally, we have compensated for this lack with needles and thread.

Premise: After moving to a new school, a teenager develops a crush on a member of her new D&D party, which has a strict no-dating policy.
Review: This was a mixed bag for me. On the plus side, it has some great intergenerational family content and an easy-to-root-for couple. ⬇️
pickFun story about getting a chance to do it all over again. While the premise of this story obviously requires you to suspend your disbelief, there were some aspects to the story that felt to me as if they could have been ironed out a bit more.
pickWhat a beautiful and evocative story. If you love books from Catherine Ryan Hyde, you will enjoy this. It has a beautiful message and some poignant moments that will stay with you. I'm adding it to my favorites even though I may not give it 5 stars. It's more like a 4 star read with 5 star takeaways. The brutal scene in this was extremely hard to read, yet the aftermath had such an emotional impact on me.
#ARichLife Day 10: Cannot wait to read by the #Fireside again as we spend the December holidays in the Bay Area with family.
pickThis hit the spot!
I absolutely love Jane Austen's Persuasion, so spin offs make me nervous but this was so good! I am a bit annoyed about the Taylor Swift references but I thought this was great. It is a small town romance with lots of quirky characters, but didn't feel like a Hallmark that demonizes working women - in fact Anne is the hardest worker (for obvious reasons)
I thought this was charming, and lived the goose!
