pickI think this book was mentioned in another I read about running. It tells about the authors journey through alcoholism and running as a means of healing. The book tells about different races he ran while also telling personal stories from his past. Enjoyable read.
pickThe message in the 2nd volume in The Spirit of Denendeh graphic novel series is that it‘s never too late for redemption and that the prospect of leaving a legacy to be proud of can carry us forward to a better future. The portrayal of Fort Smith is impressively realistic—it‘s rare to see NWT communities in fiction. Tlicho cultural traditions & beliefs as shown are interesting too. Dynamic art and an inspiring story: I recommend this! #Indigenous
Nice to see this Easter egg: Lacey takes a brave step in her life and she is carrying a copy of Helen Knott‘s memoir, In My Own Moccasins.
pickI love discovering new-to-me authors and that‘s exactly what happened with this novel. I was hooked on this story from the very beginning! Ann‘s writing is engaging and fascinating. She made me fall in love with her characters. Hildy Good is a well-respected, successful real estate agent. Her adult daughters organized an intervention because Hildy drinks too much. We meet Hildy upon her return from rehab.

pickInteresting second memoir from Burroughs. I read running with scissors years ago, but don‘t remember it very well. This one was a good. His style is easy to read and it is interesting. It chronicles his ups and downs in his recovery from alcohol and drugs. I ordered three more of his more recent books.
pickAn emotional slow burn that had me laughing, crying and ultimately wanting a happy ending for all of the characters!
Next up. Looks like an uplifting feel-good read. #BooksAndBooze #InappropriateHashtagForThisBook
pickRecommended by my librarians. Another one I wouldn't have read, had they not recommended it.
A woman's fiction book that has just a little romance, but a whole lot of family drama. Finley is a subcontractor, a guardian for her niece, sister, daughter and granddaughter that has to learn to come to terms with her sisters alcoholism. Sloane is a recurring alcoholic and has given guardianship of her daughter, Aubrey, to get sister. ⬇️
