I laughed to find this at the end of the book, because I thought about When No One Is Watching several times while reading this, although it's far less terrifying.
A single mom with way too much on her plate--including the stress of being one of very few Black parents in her daughter's school--finds herself getting caught up in some very suspicious PTA drama. I liked the slice-of-life parts of the story, but Mavis go on my nerves a bit. (cont.)
so-soI may have liked this more if I read it instead of listening to it. The reader sounded too old for the FMC, and there was too much internal dialogue in the midst of conversations with others. Those things may not have bugged me if I read it. I do love the happy ending though!
Benny has been working so hard today to disrupt my reading. He says "just one more cuddle" ?

pickNormally, I wouldn't pick a book with these colors on the cover, but it's for one of the reading groups here on Litsy. Also, normally, I wouldn't read anything someone considers cozy. Not because I have a problem with them, but they don't usually seem to end up in my TBR. Glad I read this one. I recommend it if you need a light read with what are actually heavy themes. And, especially so if you work or have a child in elementary school.😄

Catching up from yesterday, this haiku is inspired by the exuberantly golden sunset I saw driving home one evening this week. 🌅
Golden Respite
In a burst of gold
The sun takes its daily rest

Subbing in the school library today. Bittersweet because this is the library where I‘d hoped to work. They still haven‘t hired a permanent person. Makes me feel kind of put out. They didn‘t even interview me.
@forestandcrow Thank you for the perfect #FallingForFallSwap gifts! I‘m very excited to read both books which seem ideal for autumn. The candle smells like pumpkin heaven! I love the mug and sweet treats! Another great Litsy swap in the bag! Thanks to the organizers as well for a successful #FFFS home run! 🍂 🍁 🔮 🎃
