I cannot put this book down. It is very well written and almost chilling.

I couldn‘t remember if memes/joke posts counted for points for #Scarathlon2022 other than for participation like they do for #WinterGames but I came across this and thought it was fun 👻 Here‘s mine:

When I‘m a ghost I will have to call the lord and I don‘t think they will be able to do anything for me but I‘m sure they will be fine with it 💀

Another add to my class. Set in North Carolina during the Trail of Tears. It describes how the Real People were placed in pens like animals. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to encourage and develop empathy. #MiddleGradeMay @megnews

This was really good. But not overly earth shattering. Maybe it was the audio. Maybe I'm in a mood. I got it off Roxane Gay's book club list.

Pickpick

I‘m struggling between a pick and a so-so here because I was so close to liking this so much more than I did. I just couldn‘t find the center. We didn‘t know enough about 15 year deceased Ray-Ray for him to be the MC, and it flipped between surviving family members too quickly. My wish was that all the characters would have been supporting to Maria‘s (the mom) story- including the Cherokee dreams and stories.

kspenmoll Great review & photo. I have this book. Thanks for your thoughtful review. 2y
marleed @kspenmoll oh thank you. I really do vacillate between a pick and a so-so here. …A year ago, a young local artist and native American lost her life to suicide just two doors down from my house. Her artwork had been commissioned by a shop and this was her last piece of work entitled Be the Light in Someone‘s Rainbow. They sold prints to help the family and suicide prevention. It seemed fitting to include. 2y

My #BookSpin pick for December had so much potential to be an amazing read but Hobson kept changing the POV and I felt like I never got a true sense of any of the characters. This family drama about grief and addiction had a lot that I appreciated, and also some beautiful writing. However, I kept having to force myself to pick it up and read because I couldn't seem to become fully invested.

Plugging away through the tagged book a chapter a day - interesting but a bit of a downer!!

I think this book may have suffered from trying to squeeze in too many ideas. It‘s about a family that‘s been through a lot, and highlights each of their struggles. It gets weird in a lot of places. 🍌👖

The thing that will stick with me the most is the idea of addiction taking a physical manifestation that follows the addict around and attacks them. I can‘t say I enjoyed those parts, but I think they were highly effective.

Hooked_on_books I felt the same way about this one. I feel like it showed a lot of potential but needed some editing and it could have been fabulous. 3y
