pickThis book you guys, its So Good, it made me cry and laugh and root for the truth, however heartbreaking, to be known. Based enough in truth I could feel it in my bones but told through fictional eyes. Beautiful and heartwrenching, I truly couldnt put it down.
Current audiobook…Another story I am giving a second chance and the audiobook is really helping.
pickThe final book in the Tending Roses series. This novel tells of a young adult Dell trying to find her roots and birth father. Adopted at 13 by a very loving family, Dell always felt a pull to her past. Indigenous appearance and strong emotions bring interesting results. 4.5/5⭐️
pickThank you @BennettBookworm this wa on this years #aulangsyne list and I just got round to reading. What an absolute joy of a book this was. I loved India and her family and I loved reading a different kind of story about adoption by one who knows. Loved it!!
I read this solely for @Faranae's #URC and it was a pleasant surprise! I loved reading about women pilots in WW2. (My late mother-in-law took flying lessons back then but her instructor made a pass at her and she quit. 😡 She would have enjoyed this.)
The modern day part of the story was a bit goofy, but satisfying. Sookie is a middle-aged Southern housewife who's long been under the thumb of her domineering, narcissistic mother. cont.
“She took her small bottle of smelling salts out and took a few sniffs and sat and waited.“
This is 2005! I read it and thought, wow, the South is another country. And then was very amused when the author says that very thing in the bonus material.
