Aardvark Book Club's November challenge was a challenge! I only had the vowels e and a to work with. The challenge was to come up with a word stacking Aardvark books and using the first letter of the first word of the title. Each letter was worth a certain number of points. I came up the word watercress for 15 points.

pickI am always pleased to read Schwab stories. She is a very gifted writer. She crafts vivid imaginative worlds with complex plots and supernatural or paranormal elements that permit her readers to flee into a realm beyond reality.

pick5 Stars • Thrity Umriger is probably my favorite contemporary female author. Her books never disappoint.
"The Museum of Failures" by Thrity Umrigar follows Remy Wadia, an Indian-American who returns to Mumbai to adopt a baby, only to confront unresolved issues with his estranged mother, Shirin. Through family secrets and personal revelations, ⬇️
pickAs an adoptive parent, I felt incredibly seen by this book. As Frankel herself points out, it‘s vanishingly rare to see adoption portrayed in the media as a source of a (complicated, human) joy.
pickWhen Sloane was five she heard her parents having an argument. When Sloane woke up the next morning, her mother was missing. Two decades later she is trying to find out what really happened to her mother. This novel is both a love story and mystery. I‘m more the mystery gal than love story one, however I did enjoy this story. 3.75/5
