pickThis very southern novel is a look into the psychology of an abused wife, the bravery it takes to run to a new life, and the promise of hope. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2023/06/review-backseat-saints-by-joshilyn.html
This has been on my tbr mountain range for so long the pages are yellowing. It‘s also been one of the books I periodically threw on my #bookspinbingo card for the past three or so years and it was never chosen (or read) until now. It‘s my #doublespin for the month. Lap cuddle puddle models are Gatsby and Ozzie. #schnauzersoflitsy #catsoflitsy
Rose Mae Lolley's mother disappeared when she was eight, leaving Rose with a heap of old novels and a taste for dangerous men.

bailedThis was my book for #bookspin this month and I ended up bailing on it after trying to read it all month. It just couldn't hold my interest and seemed a little too all over the place for me.

pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book gets five stars from me. It was quirky, realistic, the plot was not lacking, and the characters 3 dimensional. Not everything was in a neat and tidy bow and it didn't end like a fairytale. This was a GOOD read and I would recommend this with a few trigger warnings.

Hahaha oh the southern charm. ??? #ThisBookIsHillarious #whatametaphor
I love the book, but the plot is rather odd and the title is quickly losing its relevance. It's funny, quirky. and well written and that might be why I'm still working with it. But this book needs to come with a HUGE trigger warning for those that have experienced physical abuse and alcoholism.
These came in the mail today from Thrift Books. I‘m sure I ordered a hard cover copy of the tagged book because I wanted it to match the others I have, instead I got a paperback arc. And there is no way I can get the shitty sticker off the side of The De Lint without damaging the book. :(
I'm officially on vacation. I may be adding two tweens to my brood for the week, but I intend ok getting some reading in while I'm off. These are the books I'm packing with me. I'm excited for all three, but doesn't Joshilyn Jackson scream vacation read?
