pickThis is a fascinating history of Florida in the 1920s with its real estate boom and bust that the author posits was the main cause of the Great Depression. I was wholly absorbed by this narrative nonfiction. #ReadYourEbooks

Pond lights at the Botanic Garden's Lightscape exhibit. I could make a dozen posts just with photos of this outing, but I am exercising self control. #beautybreak

pickFinished in September. Haunted town in Florida with 2 competing haunted guided tours. This is a romance.
pickI read this book years ago and could never remember the name of it but it came up on Goodreads the other day and I was like “that‘s it”!!! If you like history this book was a wonderful glimpse into early Florida with an epic tale of a family and all they endure through the years. It‘s stuck with me through the years and I wanted to just recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Florida or historical fiction.
panThe premise of this story sounded promising and the writing was beautiful from the start but the story? Weird, boring, and did not keep my interest at all. I skimmed from the middle to end. I don‘t even know why I finished because the ending was just as terrible.
so-soLargely a coming-of-age novel, I found myself more drawn to Kiwi‘s stories vs Ava‘s narration, although the latter is written prettier. I found the dialogue, especially Kiwi‘s “friends” and coworkers to be fairly unbelievable, like what a Boomer thinks “the youth” is saying. But there‘s a turn here that really clarified the novel‘s intent, the temporary nature of innocence and moving forward when your body is not ready.
