After the tank clicked full, I unfolded the map across the steering wheel. It would take me thirteen hours to get to Florida. Thirteen hours and almost nine hundred miles from the place where I was born for the chance that I might really live.

💼 The constant baby-sitting and cleaning up unnecessary messes that shouldn't be made if people planned better (I'm in Procurement).
💼💼 Tagged. The author works several different jobs (under cover, technically) to illustrate the living wage gap and how hard it is to get ahead and stay ahead financially. Great read.

#12Booksof2024 February
Choosing a book didn‘t get any easier for February, but since I highlighted a fiction book in January I thought I should highlight a nonfiction in February
Other honorable mentions are: Christmas at the Beach Hut by Veronica Henry, The Swifts by Beth Lincoln and The Strangeworld Travel Agency by L. D. Lapinski

💙 I read 8 off this fantastic list from @Christine this year and have a few more on my TBR. My favorite Fiction was All the Sinners Bleed and nonfiction Finding Me but all 8 were excellent.
And as inspired by @Amiable my favorites from past years:
2020. @Jerdencon We Were the Lucky Ones
2021 MadDashReading The Glass Hotel
2022 @thewallflower0707 The Book of Longings (F) & All the Young Men (NF)
2023 @Amiable ⬇️
This was a truly remarkable story. It was something I really needed to read. It‘s a reminder that we can control our own fates. I strongly recommend reading this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Sometimes helping means doing the hardest thing, but it‘s the right thing.“
Maddi‘s Fridge is a tender, eye-opening story that teaches children about poverty, compassion, and standing up for others in difficult situations.
Maddi‘s family doesn‘t have enough food, and Sofia notices that Maddi‘s fridge is always empty. Despite her concerns, Sofia promises to keep Maddi‘s secret, but she knows she can‘t stand by without helping.
