pickThis poignant story follows a boy and his father as they visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Through simple yet powerful illustrations, Bunting conveys themes of loss, memory, and healing. The narrative emphasizes the importance of remembering those who served. It‘s a touching exploration of grief and honor.
Attended a fantastic author talk this evening with a friend. It featured William Kent Krueger talking about his tagged book which was selected for the local One Book One Community read this year.
I haven‘t had a chance to read this book yet, but his talk was wonderful. He also discussed his writing process and the power of stories. If you like his books and have the opportunity to see him speak in person I highly recommend it.
pickA murder mystery provides the framework for this painfully realistic portrait of mid-20th-Century life in small town middle America. Riveting.

pickOur Sept. library book club pick. I prefer fast paced, psychological thrillers, so I didn‘t initially enjoy this book. But I kept going and ended up really liking it. The River is a slower paced mystery with some action but more back story than anything else. The character development in this book was in depth and fantastic. Book #91 in 2024
pickThis was a great book!! I enjoyed reading the book so much!!! It was great learning about Gary Sinise. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
pickThis story kept me guessing until the end. As with all of William Kent Kruger‘s books, it was beautifully written. Nobody can describe a landscape or piece of nature like he can. I did get lost in the amount of characters in the story. So many made it hard to keep track of. As with most (or all) of this authors books, there is a Native American tie in. I end up learning so much about their history when I read these books.
so-so
