I am so very behind on my reviews for June & now July 😩 but I finished this one last night for #SundayBuddyRead & as expected, I loved it. Stacey Lee is probably my favorite author of historical YA & this is the 4th book we‘ve read with her. She creates characters that I love & root for & teaches me about history from underrepresented perspectives, all while telling an exciting & engrossing story. Do things usually work out at least ⬇️
#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
Saturday was planned to be a mix of errands & relaxing. I wrote the before haiku sat at a quiet table in the mall waiting for a craft fair to start. A spontaneous stop by the Apple Store to look at upgrading my old iPhone took a few hours & led to the after. #2fer
Before:
Errands and delight
Tangled in one easy day
Joy in the stillness
After:
Plans lost to the void
Apple Store, my holding cell
At least she's a beaut

I was waiting very (im)patiently for our #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD of this book. Lee brought the Oregon Trail, the general struggles of traversing it as well as the much more dangerous and difficult challenges of young girls and minorities trying to survive day to day. A wonderful coming of age story with fear, loss, heartbreak and hope, friendship and love.
