The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store | James McBride

Always a fun ride with McBride doing the storytelling. I had a bit of length- and character-quantity fatigue, though. Still!! Always willing to go where this author leads - I was just in a hurry to finish and my hurry-it-up experience suffered under my own hubris.

Let Us Descend | Jesmyn Ward

“Her voice lingers in the air: the crust of pie around the edges of the pan, the pan that we scrape to savor in the hot corners of the kitchen, the buttery crumb rich in mouths, but only enough to hint at the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the sugar… p1887-188

Burst | Mary Otis

We are almost to our vacation destination! In the Uber car rolling down 295S. I enjoyed this story and it featured indirect pie (meringue, quiche, tarts). My reviewing skills have deteriorated! This was sad, packed with great sentences, characters to cry with and for/thru some tragic happenings and choices. I would read more by this author. #debut #PieinLit #NewEngland

BarbaraBB Have a great time 💕 2y

It's One of Us: the #1 suspense novel you have to read in 2023 | J.T. Ellison

pick

A decent audiobook, I usually enjoy Whelan as a narrator. This story had a LOT going on and multiple people to distrust! I think it was well paced, and could probably agree with a friend who called it “ridiculously entertaining” and then gave it 2 stars out of 5 😂 but I will give it 4. I am counting the pie tin mention as
