I had to share a photo of the wrapping, which was fantastic and included fabric ribbon (more safe for my kitties!). I'm going to have to hide the sour candy from my teen, and I'm so excited for the books! I listened to Motherthing this month on audio and have been wanting a print copy, and the Stuart Turton is new to me, so I'm excited to explore that one! Thank you so much, @Ellie_H !

I read and highly recommend the original middle grade chapter book Refugee by Alan Gratz frequently. This graphic novel version still brings a lot of the emotion but with using panels & speech bubbles paired with illustrations instead of descriptive paragraphs of text.

I love this series, it has strong "The Mummy" and "Romancing the Stone" vibes. The first book is on offer right now "0.99 in USD, CAD, EUR, AUD, and NZD".

Moloka‘i started out as a place of isolation and punishment but came to represent family and home. The descriptions of this lonely place were wonderful. The history was finely woven into the story. The characters were beautifully wrought.

KCofKaysville @Nebklvr I really liked this one a few years ago. 5h

I used to absolutely love reading the Dear America series growing up. I was reminded of them the other day because I saw there are a few other series similar to the Dear America stories. So I decided to read some that I never got to read. This one was about 16 year old Molly and her life after her older brother became a marine during the Vietnam War.

(Continued in comment)

RedxoHearts It was an interesting sneak peek of what life was like for the average teen during those years. It reminds you that even though things may change so much of it stays the same. The author also wrote a book from the perspective of the brother during the same period. So I plan to read that one soon as well. 12h

Aims42 I loved this series so much growing up!! My friend and I are now looking for them at thrift stores and used book stores because she‘s building a library of them for her daughter 😍🥰 (her daughter will be 3 years old in Feb., so we have plenty of time 🤪) 4h

My local library reopened over the weekend after a long remodel, and I just got a chance to stop in today… it looks amazing and the selection is small but well-curated (I mean, check out this haul!!)
Now to figure out which to read first… 🤔
