The Only Purple House in Town | Ann Aguirre

pick

I very much enjoyed this magical novel about found family and belonging. Such a sweet story to read anytime of year, but would be particularly fun in the fall. 4/5⭐️

The Forgotten Home Child | Genevieve Graham

Oof this has been a tough read! But I‘m glad I‘m reading it thanks to @Jess861 and the #OhCanada buddy read. I‘m a tad behind but learning so much about an important part of Canadian history of which I was quite unaware.

Jess861 I'm so glad you are getting a chance to read it! It is another hard chapter of Canadian history but I hope you enjoy the book. Crazy that it isn't taught about at all in school. 1d

PurpleyPumpkin @Jess861 It really is crazy that this doesn‘t get touched on in history lessons!😳 I read your comment about the ending being a happy one. That gave me hope! 1d

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Happy for some. 1d

PurpleyPumpkin @Jess861 Thanks for the warning. 😬 1d

The Summer Book | Tove Jansson

pick

This book is such a lovely way to begin my summer reading. 5/5⭐️ It‘s also the start of a challenge I‘ve set for myself, my #100DayProject2025 to mark the beginning of my endless vacation, aka forever freedom, aka Renaissance years, aka retirement! My 3 rules: that I own the book, that I journal about it, & that I post daily (to keep me honest 😅). My goal is to read 50 books in 100 days, which is a lofty goal for me!🤞🏽
