panI should have bailed. This book was all over the place, jumping from one event to the next and back again. The description at the back is misleading - the story is not at all about saving Roxanne Brown, which could have been an interesting court case to follow, especially had it involved a deeper look at the juxtaposition of racism and law in the late 1800s. Quite frankly it reads like a soap opera.
so-soI didn‘t like the book but that doesn‘t mean I wanted to turn it into a towering inferno!!

I‘m just starting Worthy Brown‘s Daughter and so far it‘s got tight pacing and a no-frills, very direct description style, like I imagine most Westerns have. Happy that I get to learn about #Oregon‘s history!
And this is a screen cap from a #tiktok I did for #Jolabokaflod PDX, the litfest I run: you guys want to hear from authors on Dec 19-20?? Check out our schedule! Www.jolabokaflodpdx.com 🎉🥰🤩
bailedBailing on books left & right. 😐 I have a pet peeve about audio narrators imitating gendered voices. This one‘s female voices were just too affected and silly, was totally distracting.
Up next! Wish I could stay home on this wintery day and read. But I must work to buy new books!
pickI liked it. I like a morally just ending. A little more literary heft than I expected, just a nice solid read.
