pickI‘ve always meant to read this book but never got around to it until now. It really was worth reading. It is truly a story that tells how a decision made in a single moment has consequences that last a lifetime. It is also about how that decision affects all those around you. It‘s very thought provoking. It takes place in the 1960‘s through the 1980‘s. I think it is a story for that time period. Overall I think it was a very good book.
pickA heart-wrenching tale of motherhood, friendship, love, and the strength of women set in the 1970s. The story follows Ginny and Ab, a couple whose seemingly perfect life masks deeper issues. When Ginny gives birth to a daughter with Downs Syndrome, the child is whisked away and placed in an institution. Years later, when Ginny discovers the institution may be unsafe, a fierce maternal instinct drives her to action. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
Started this one on audio a few days ago. Heartbreaking and bringing out fierce Mama vibes. ❤️📚
so-soA hunter sets out to hunt a blue fox, a vixen. But when a blizzard arrives, rather than do the sensible thing, he keeps following the fox for which there are consequences. Meanwhile, a gentleman comes upon a simple woman who has been obviously sexually abused en route to who knows where so he takes her in and they take good care of one another. What we don‘t know until the end is who is the hunter and what is the fate of the fox. This book ⬇️
pickThis was a weird little book with odd formatting (at least in the ebook version.) I think I liked it. I enjoyed the fable-like quality of the story, and the interesting connection between the three main characters that we get at the end.
My books for #FoodandLit #Iceland: The Blue Fox from the library and 2 cookbooks from my shelves 😁

pickThis book won me over. Towards the beginning it felt as if the plot, though interesting, was predictable. However, as the book progressed, the characters were complex and the story took some unexpected directions. This was a great book club pick! Lots to discuss.
pick3 ⭐ This book was fine. There are many like it available. It reminds kids that they are perfect the way they are, and that everyone is different. It does in the back have some information about Down Syndrome, but it is not really illustrated on the pages, or in the story.
