pickI found this a very engaging and enjoyable take. I liked the combination of fact with fiction. There‘s a smattering of romance and a soupçon of the supernatural. I enjoyed reading about Moroccan culture, it‘s very colourful and descriptive. It‘s beautifully written and very evocative of the time periods. The characters are well drawn. The ending maybe a little rushed but that‘s nitpicking. All in all a wonderful read.
pickI wasn‘t a Swamplandia fan and thus initially passed this one up, so I‘m glad the #NBAlonglist for fiction got me to read it. I found this unique Dust Bowl historical fiction with some fantastical components to be fully engrossing. The characters are great and I like that we hear rotating perspectives from them, which helps keep the book moving. I really liked it!
Tonight‘s after dinner treat while reading the tagged library book. Trying to get my “new” books read before I have to return them.

I loved teaching this play at this time of year.

No wonder they turned.

so-soSeptember has not been a good reading month for me. I've only finished 3 books and might finish a 4th tonight. I've struggled to get into any of the books I've picked up. This was my #JaneAustenThenandNow selection for June 🤦♀️. It was okay. I liked the fictionalized interactions with Sir Francis Austin, but not a lot else. @Crinoline_Laphroaig
pickThree middle school siblings are each struggling in a different way.
I really loved this middle grade novel although I object to historical fiction taking place in the 80‘s.

pickI finished this one up at the end of August and forgot to post. It was good, but I didn‘t love it. The Summer After the War really worked for me, but neither this one nor Major Pettigrew's Last Stand have lived up to my first experience with Simonson's writing. This was my August #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
It's time for the #LiteraryCrew discussion! I have 10 questions posted as spoilers; you can find these on my feed, the book's feed or by searching for the group's hashtag.
Next month, we are reading a book that seems perfect for this time of year: The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina by Zoraida Cordova. Official post tomorrow!
Also, it's time to think about 2026. Use the URL in the comments to offer suggestions for next year through October 31st!

Why do you think that the author chose the quotation by Scott Joplin as the
novel‘s epigraph? What does it signify? ~from Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
