All the Colors of the Dark: A Read with Jenna Pick: New York Times Bestselling Author of We Begin at the End | Chris Whitaker

I see why this book had so much buzz and hit a lot of favorites list in 2024. If you pick it up and think it‘s too long for me (almost 600 pages) just know that it‘s a fast read with short chapters and worth every.single.page. It‘s a mystery, but so much more. It‘s really about friendship that turns into family and what you will do to help someone you love.

Tamra I got it on Kindle which isn‘t my favorite format, so this is good to know! 2d

AmyG Such a wonderful book. Agree….it‘s big but I flew through it. 2d

CoverToCoverGirl I just finished this one. I know it‘s early but it‘s going to be my number one pick for 2025. It‘s brilliant! 1d

Sharp Objects | Gillian Flynn

pan

(2006) It's the kind of thriller where the lead returns home after a long absence and investigates a murder only to find themself investigating their own past. The lead in this case has made some spectacularly bad choices and continues to make bad choices still. It's all very sordid, and finally lost me when the lead went partying with her kid sister. Others have loved it, and I think I understand its gritty appeal, but it was a miss for me.

ChaoticMissAdventures I tried to watch the movie (I love Amy Adams) but I didn't get very far and was a bit bored. So I never picked up the book. I know she has such a big fan following though.... Different tastes! 3w

swynn @ChaoticMissAdventures Yay for different tastes! I haven't seen the movie, and won't hunt it down, even though I agree: Amy Adams is wonderful. 3w

thegreensofa I felt like I was the only one in the world who hated this when I read it! Yay I‘m not the only one! 😁🙃 3w

swynn @thegreensofa Yay for mutual unpopular opinions! 3w

A tale inspired by true events, showing how a teacher in Missouri defied unjust laws to educate Black students in the 1840s.

so-so

In a wet, dangerous place, the ground shook and a family of darkness was born. Unlikely characters and bad choices abound.

I‘m sure there are several books on my shelf that I could use for this prompt, but this is the first one I thought of. Noah was recently paralyzed in a car crash that also killed his father, so there are some serious topics in this book. I also loved the Missouri setting and St. Louis Cardinals references.

Karisimo Ooh! I‘m a huge Cards fan! I can‘t believe I haven‘t read this! 5mo

Coffeymuse You sold me on the Cardinals reference-that's my baseball team! Definitely adding this to Mt TBR! 5mo

Daisey @Karisimo @Coffeymuse I teach JH in Missouri, so each year I look up the Truman award preliminary nominee list and try to read as many as possible. It often includes a book or two with a Missouri connection. That‘s how I found this one. 5mo

Coffeymuse @Daisey I grew up in MO and now live in OK. OK was the Sequoyah Book Awards. Definitely going to check out the Truman Awards! 5mo
