Another super fun #24in48. Read some excellent books; my favorite was the new Gayle Forman.
I adored returning to Louisa‘s world. ❤️ #24in48
Santa brought me these in the early ‘80s, and I love them all. #24in48
I loved this saucy romance with fantastic characters. I was rooting for Alexa and Drew from the start! #thewallsareclosingin
Fantastic event with author Sujata Massey at Subtext Books in St. Paul, Minnesota. Loved the book, a historical mystery set in early 1920s India.
This was one of those audiobooks that made me want to keep driving so I could listen to another chapter. The author narrates, and he didn't hold back any emotion.
Loved this post-apocalyptic novel that features a resourceful, resilient protagonist. Our library sci-fi/fantasy book group gave it 👍👍.
I flew through this book that explores how and why a great number of Americans don't use traditional banks in favor of alternative financial services. I especially liked reading about the author's field work at check cashing and payday loan businesses.
Facilitating a discussion of this riveting WWII book. We'll talk about honor, goodness, fear, memory. Much of the book is the story of a German fighter pilot, a perspective I never truly considered.
My favorite read of the year so far. Funny, touching, sad - I felt the range of emotions. I especially loved how memories were used to develop the story. ❤️
Looking forward to reading this Mississippi author.
Loved visiting this cute shop with a great selection of regional titles in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Such a lovely bookstore in Jackson, Mississippi.
Had a ball! #24in48

#FunFridayPhoto The Jackson Brodie series is 💯.
We have a library patron who loves the contemporary references in Stephen King and Joe Hill. He's OK with the horror aspect of King and Hill, but what he really likes is their great storytelling. What authors or books would you recommend as readalikes? Thanks!
#tbrtuesday These are on deck while I read Manitou Canyon by William Kent Krueger.
Reading about Magellan for history book group. A great way to start #biblioweekend.
An important addition to my education.
#recommendsday Theroux drove the backroads of the South over the course of four seasons and created an insightful, thoughtful travel memoir. I think the beauty of the book lies in his conversations with the people he met along the way.
Yes to the audiobook! Lol funny and touching and inspiring.
#funfridayphoto I'm a big fan of the Cork O'Connor mystery series set in northern Minnesota, where the weather always seems to be a factor.
Attended Terry Tempest Williams reading at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa tonight. She was amazing! And this book.
Desmond's examination of housing and poverty in Milwaukee gutted me. One of the best, most thought-provoking books I've read.
#FunFridayPhoto I adore Kit, and I fell in love with Nat right along with her.
Fun Friday Photo. I return again and again to Frank Bascombe, whose dreaminess I still relate to all these years after I met him.
If you like true-life adventure/survival stories, especially ones that take place in subzero conditions, you might just like this. #recommendsday
Fun Friday Photo. So many amazing Canadian authors!
Fun Friday Photo. I love mysteries, and I pulled together a pile of favorites during my visit today to the fantastic public library in Monona, Iowa.
A story about survival, fathers and sons, and the North Country of Minnesota that was so vivid I could almost smell the pine trees.
Fun Friday Photo. I didn't see it coming.
