TheEllieMo I‘ll be honest, being an accountant from the UK it took me a while to work out that you weren‘t talking about His Majesty‘s Revenue and Customs 🤣🤣 1d

Brownstone | Samuel Teer

so-so

Brownstone, by Samuel Teer (illustr. Mar Julia) (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: A New York teenager meets her father for the first time one summer and learns about her Guatemalan heritage.

Review: This is sweet and effective, if very, very simplistic. It does deal with some hard subject matter — child abandonment, biracial identities, homophobia, and gentrification — but in ways that came off a bit too easy. ⬇️

peaKnit I had an elderly gentlemen swear me to secrecy when he asked me to put a hold on this for him at the library. It was precious. He was returning White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street ❤️❄️ 3w

The Bones Beneath My Skin | Tj Klune

A fun ride with strong characters. A bit like ET with two adults instead of all the kids, and a little MM romance.

Kate & Frida: A Novel of Friendship, Food, and Books | Kim Fay

pick

It‘s the ‘90s & Frida is living in Paris when she writes a bookstore in Seattle to request a book. So begins the correspondence between her & bookseller Kate. This is very much in the vein of 84 Charing Cross Road, which I love. As they correspond they push each other to try new things and expand their horizons. A sweet epistolary novel that was such a fun read. I enjoyed this author‘s Love & Saffron a bit more, but this one was still a delight.

Ruthiella That‘s quite a view! 🤩 2mo

The Bones Beneath My Skin | Tj Klune

So many parallels to what the media wants you to know and what they choose not to report. I feel like I'm going to have an inside joke with a book- chuckling when someone mentions bacon will make me think of Art for a long time to come.
