pickLOVED IT. I was worried because I thought this would be related to Cinderella is Dead, which wasn‘t totally for me… but it wasn‘t and the fairytale references & imagery were elaborate & fun. I loved the characters, it was so good!
pickAn anthology of poetry from 60 writers all over the world published to benefit Palestine.
At once heartbreaking and hopeful, this is a moving call for peace and an end to the genocide in Palestine. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
All proceeds from sales will be donated to The Sameer Project and mutual aids on Gaza Funds.
Loved this new historical romance by Aster Glenn Gray. (Note that Amazon has it as “Deck the Halls In Secret Agents,“ not With.) Towards the end of the Cold War, two agents from opposite sides--with a lot of personal history--find themselves on missions at the world's most OTT Christmas party. Gray's quiet prose packs deft characterizations and genuine emotion into the short cat-and-mouse story. A more traditional romance than Gray's Honeytrap.
pick‘Coming-of-age can happen at the strangest times. Into his sixties and newly retired, Anders decides he‘s had enough of steady habits..‘
The basis for one of my favorite Netflix movies. A little sad, often humorous, this was a pretty good story.
