😳Sorry, another unpopular opinion. Beautiful written but there is something missing for me in the story and in the ending🤷🏽‍♀️I wanted to love it after all those extraordinary reviews/ratings in GR and Litsy. Maybe I could give it another try in the future. 3⭐️

RaeLovesToRead I thought it was sweet enough, but I don't like short books that try too hard to make me feel stuff. Same with the tagged 3mo
Gissy @Prairiegirl_reading I wasn‘t the only one then 😅 3mo

Coyote Lost and Found | Dan Gemeinhart

I love, love, LOVED the first Coyote book and this one was just as great. Coyote Sunrise is one of my most favorite characters of all time. She has the biggest heart and the best wit (for a 13 year old). Wally and Doreen were the right people to join the pod. My 3 answers: The Remarkabke Journey of Coyote Sunrise, Camping on Whidbey Island, & PB&J (strawberry). Book #21 in 2024

I am freakin‘ delighted with the mind of Ross Gay and very delighted by how many books he has released to the wild.
In essay #21 “(Foot- End- Etc.) Notes”: “I love few things as much as I love a weird book.” So I tbr‘d Katherine McKittrick‘s DEAR SCIENCE AND OTHER STORIES. He also references Diaz‘ Oscar Wao, “where the author pokes his head through the curtains of the novel” 😃 I thought that novel a wonder. DELIGHTS!

mabell @LeahBergen Yes, she has some lovely paintings! I just realized a print I gave my mom of two sisters playing with dolls was one of hers! 11mo

This 65pg novella packed a lot in here. A group of horny teenagers plan their graduation party near the site of a nuclear disaster. When they go exploring they realize there are things and people still moving around the abandoned reactor. This was gnarly and considering what radiation can do to a person, very gross. It was also cosmic and of the body. A nuclear fever dream. I liked it. I liked it a lot. #21 in the Rewind or Die series.
