My #bookspin and #doublespin for June. Maybe next month I‘ll pay closer attention to what I put at number 12! @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I've been using these same pieces of paper for a long time now, so maybe 12 has some little defect that causes me to pick it or something 😂 2d

Lcsmcat @TheAromaofBooks Could be. Or maybe 12 is just your lucky number? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1d

Absolution: A Novel | Alice McDermott

pick

This was recommended to me by a bookstore owner. She said it was the book about women in Vietnam that should have gotten the attention The Women did. It's a look at the wives of US advisors sent to Saigon in the early days of the war. The setting is vividly drawn with both time and place. The writing is beautiful in this character-driven novel that explores guilt, responsibility to others, and intervention vs interference.

During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.

Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

Absolution: A Novel | Alice McDermott

so-so

Literary and historical fiction with well-written prose of unlikeable characters. I most enjoyed the shorter section told from the POV of Charlene's daughters.
