so-soWhen you finish a “contemporary classic” but you found it to be… problematic. The ick factor is a real presence. I don‘t get why people are over the moon about this book.

Up next for #192025. I'm pretty sure I read this in Grade 9 English so am interested to see what I remember.
pickA young boy in 18th-century Italy gets mad at his parents and scampers up a tree, a decision that will shape the rest of his life. A fairy tale about rebellion, originality, and fidelity to oneself, starring a Zelig-like figure who finds himself brushing up against many of the central figures and events of the Napoleonic Era. Linus approves!
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Why am I trying to read this now? I am concerned. *gestures broadly at everything* 🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫥🤯😭

Peace out to the 2024-25 school year! It‘s cocktails and reading on a weeknight now 🎉
pickI had never been drawn to Hilderbrand, but after hearing her speak at the Read With Jenna Book Festival, I realized I was all wrong for judging her covers and titles. She was so endearing and smart. And utterly prolific! So, I started here, and really enjoyed this story about friends from different seasons of life. Really got me thinking about who I‘d choose. Definitely reading her again!
