I thought this was really very good. It's historical fiction set in Colorado around the Great Depression, focusing on miners and labor conditions. My aunt already took it away and started reading it herself.

When your bookmark matches your book 😍😍😍
(I love saving the labels from wine I‘ve tried, they‘re like mini pieces of art! And bookmark size too!)

I feel only lukewarm about this book. I hope it picks up, but I‘m almost 200 pages in so I‘ll probably finish it today. This cookie is so delicious especially warmed! A gift from our Thanksgiving guests from my favorite out state bakery….Jolie Ollie‘s. Such a treat! I even lit the table candles again! Hope all had a wonderful holiday!

#aardvark book club arrived today!

I might be in love with my new monthly addiction. My binding was broken on my new book (sent them a pic, which I will spare you). And they're sending me a new one. In case any of you all are looking for a new book subscription. This is how they do customer service.

This satisfying, well written historical novel is set in a marble mining town in Colorado in the early 20th century. Young Sylvia Pelletier comes of age in the town of Moonstone as her beloved father‘s work to bring a union to the exploited mine workers is raising tensions. A romance with the labor sympathizing mine owners‘ son, and a mentor in the hard drinking news woman KT Redman makes Sylvia‘s story into a genuinely page turning adventure!

I skipped #botm this month and signed up for #Aardvark because I liked their selections better.

Finally one of the November #Aardvark hints seems to solidly line up with one of our earlier confirmed spoilers

? = The plot involves the "editor of a local newspaper"
? = The mc gets a job workimg for an extremely wealthy family in the mining business
⛰ = Set in the Colorado mountains
? = Not sure exactly, but there's a snowy setting so this doesn't exactly stand out ?

We've got two confirmed #Aardvark spoilers for November! I'm kinda loving their book selections so far!! 👏🏽
