A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty: A Novel | 
panBook 122
I listened to A Grown-up Kind of Pretty--a mystery unfolds when baby bones are found in the yard of a Southern mother, daughter, and granddaughter. Written in 2012, I was shocked and bothered by the author's use of the r word, multiple times. ⭐⭐
pickWonderful story telling of belonging. An adventure I had to see through. A grandmother, mother and daughter plagued by hardships and torn by secrets. Between the mystery, the affairs and the messiness of life.. I could not put this book down.🌻
pickHomemade snack mix to eat while reading. I struggled to get into this but then all of a sudden I couldn‘t put it down 🤷🏻♀️
Saturday morning breakfast ( that is a doughnut 🤯) by the big ass fern I was gifted from the Buy Nothing group I belong to. It feels like I‘m reading in a jungle. I like this book but I have a few that I really want to get to so I‘m dragging my feet with it. Absolutely not logical behaviour
Saturday mornings are my favourite
pickI love this book! This was only my second Joshilyn Jackson that I‘ve read, but she‘s quickly becoming a favorite of mine. This had a bit of mystery, but it was mostly a story about family and how far one would go for their children. There were some heavy issues, but they were peppered with a sense of humor so that the overall feeling was just one of enjoyment. I definitely need to read more of her books! Four and a half stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
I‘m listening to this one, and loving it so far.
Day 5: #greenbooks
I‘m in bed and totally forgot to do this earlier, hence the edit 😂 These are books I‘ve read in the past 1-2 years, and I‘ve gotta say - there really aren‘t that many green book covers. Lots of yellow covers WITH green, and lots of blue-green covers, but very few strictly green! 🤷🏻♀️🤔

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: I am just loving JJ on audio! She is a gifted narrator and her books are so fun! Three generations of Slocumb women have their challenges, and I can‘t get enough. Perfect for summer. ☀️

pickOh my! Not what I expected and oh so much better!! First time reading this author and I loved it!
pickIt‘s been a while since I read a Joshilyn Jackson, but this one didn‘t disappoint. Hard to beat her for Southern fiction. Always a well-crafted and multi-layered story with some crazy thrown in. 🤪
pickThis author reminds me a bit of Sarah Addison Allen. I liked most of the characters and loved following them through the past and present to see how everything turned out.
Listening to an audiobook by the pool. My reward for cleaning all morning.
pickThis is the 2nd novel by Joshilyn Jackson that I have read and I am quickly becoming a fan. I actually listened to this as an audio book and she was the narrator of her book. She did a phenomenal job and I couldn‘t wait to finish listening!
pickJust finished listening to A Grown-up Kind of Pretty and I'm having a hard time deciding which Joshilyn Jackson book is my favorite! This story is told through three voices, daughter, mother, and grandmother. It is full of surprises and will bring both tears to your eyes and smiles!
#readjanuary Some books I have read with a #dressoncover. @RealLifeReading
pickThis was my first Joshilyn Jackson audiobook and I loved it so much. Neil Gaiman and Jackson are some of the best author narrators out there. I read it along with a now defunct Twitter book club. Great memories. The battered box is a sign of how well it was loved, I promise.
A couple of books taking place in the south....
Back to the library they go... Both good reads.
