I have to bail. I would have bailed on page two, if this wasn‘t our next book club selection. It is virtually unreadable and definitely not the refuge I need from the state of the world right now. 😢

It pains me that I can't stop myself from reading every book supposedly about books, bookdragons, and libraries that comes along. . . . [full review to come]
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Only got 12% (26 out of 211). I'd say that I need to start working on this list, but I'll probably just wait for a schoolboard to ban something I'm already reading. ?
Weirdest bans:
? The Bible: "Jesus was a commie!"
? Diary of Anne Frank/1984/Brave New World: "Let's give fascism a fair shake!"
? Nickel and Dimed: "How dare you besmirch the good name of the 1996 welfare reform act!"
? Where's Waldo: "He's not! It's a scam!"
This was good, a low pick for me because there was so much going on that it felt a little ridiculous. A woman returns home to help hey dying mother and had to come to terms with a difficult past. The small town thinks they know what happened all those years ago but did they? Her sister trying to find her way out of a terrible marriage and that barely scrapes the surface of everything going on. I liked the sisters, was rooting for them, but (cont)
“For fans of Elin Hilderbrand, a riveting exploration of family, sisterhood, and the transformative power of literature.”
