Also there was some serious spice🌶️

Newest finished book vs newest edition to my library

Had to drag myself through the first 20% but well worth the pay off. I saw so many complaints about the writing style of this. Growing up reading Tolkien, the writing style wasn‘t difficult to get through. 4✨ & I can‘t wait to get my hands on the next installation in October.

When I think of books with #ParentChildLove Little Women comes to mind quickly. Marmee had great love for her daughters & they for her.

(The 1994 movie version is my nostalgic favorite, but the 2019 version is also excellent).

Our book club selection and finally they chose a book that I hadn‘t read or heard about!😂. Set in present day and during WW2, Liv finds out about her grandmothers past secrets. The fight of the French to keep the Germans away from their champagne fields. Very good read. The French resistance and the history of champagne.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved Center‘s previous “How to Walk Away” and picked this one up not too long after reading it. Sadly, I‘ve just now gotten to reading it and I‘m glad I finally did. The story was sweet and heartwarming, and I enjoyed the theme a lot more than I thought I would.

I run a book club at my library here in Texas, and most of the group is retired teachers. I thought this pick would give them lots to talk about. However, what I didn't realize was just how much I would love this one.

This book really is more of a character study, and each of these characters felt relatable and well fleshed out.

Mathieu delivers a poignant, heartfelt, humorous story that I think everyone should read. 💚

This dark YA fantasy was just the read I was looking for. It has been described as Hunger Games with magic, but there's so much more to it.

The world, the magic, and the characters are all very well done. Lots of action, betrayals, and twists keep this book moving along quickly.

I'm excited to read the second one now.

Bingo! #OffMyShelf “By a BIPOC author”

Possibly next to “Tar Baby”, the least trauma inducing novel from Morrison so far. Yes, bad things happen, but I also found this book to be a celebration. It‘s about a love triangle gone wrong and a murder, the historical wounds of those involved, but also about hope and love; a love note to New York City and the flowering of Black American culture in the mid 20th century.
