pickThe book kept calling me. Sutton loses her mother to Covid and goes into into a tailspin. (I loved how the author dealt with Covid, not just leaving it as an allusion we are all familiar with but making it a part of life). Sutton tries to solve the mystery of her mother‘s history, but finds something better. Love…love of life, family and hope.
pickThe Edge of Summer by Viola Shipman...
All the feels! This is a multifaceted story that is that is beautifully written and wonderfully woven together. This story begins during covid. I think that's important; we shouldn't forget, we should honor this historical event by learning something from it, & moving forward in a positive manner with these lessons in mind.

pickNot only is the story marvelous, but each chapter had a sewing term with its definition as a lead-in to the chapter.
Loved the button trivia and learning how Michigan was the Button Capital.
This is Wade‘s BEST yet. Don‘t miss it. 5/5

My husband wanted to get out of the house, so we went to the beach. It poured down rain for a good portion of our drive but was nice at the beach. We finished The Red House Mystery and started Jim Butcher‘s new Dresden novella, The Law (fyi: Butcher, not James Marsters, narrates this book, but he promises that Marsters will be back.) I continued to listen to The Edge of Summer on my walk. #audiowalk
Started this because I wanted a lighter read with no death. Turns out, this begins with a COVID death. So much for that. The main character, Sutton, begins a journey to learn more about her past after she learns everything she thought was true about her family was actually a lie. It was warm but not unbearable, so I went for a couple of walks. #audiowalk
Oh my goodness….I LOVED this book.
♥️ This is your BEST yet, Wade - @viola_shipman ♥️
I didn‘t want it to end.
THANK YOU for the copy…full review will be on July 28.
If it isn‘t in your TBR, you will want to add it.

Happy Pub Week to Viola Shipman - Wade Rouse
THE EDGE OF SUMMER is in stores now.
This book is an ode to family, finding our own strength, and coming home—and it‘s a timely reminder that it‘s the little things that always matter most in life.
Give it a prime spot in your beach bag or TBR pile this summer and get whisked away to the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan.
