I colored this picture and wrote this #haiku about it.

panThis was the longest tall tale I've ever read. On the plus side was the descriptive writing. On the negative side were the unlikeable characters and the story that kept getting more and more absurd (especially the fishing and movie scenes). I really enjoyed October Sky and I know humorous writing is challenging to pull off, but this wasn't my cup of tea.
panThe premise of this story sounded promising and the writing was beautiful from the start but the story? Weird, boring, and did not keep my interest at all. I skimmed from the middle to end. I don‘t even know why I finished because the ending was just as terrible.
so-soLargely a coming-of-age novel, I found myself more drawn to Kiwi‘s stories vs Ava‘s narration, although the latter is written prettier. I found the dialogue, especially Kiwi‘s “friends” and coworkers to be fairly unbelievable, like what a Boomer thinks “the youth” is saying. But there‘s a turn here that really clarified the novel‘s intent, the temporary nature of innocence and moving forward when your body is not ready.
pickLove these authors. What happened to the bay bird? I'm pretty sure this is before Are you my mother? 🤣 #ISpyBingoJuly @TheAromaofBooks

#CoverStories
A #Reptile on the cover of this semi-true tale of a road trip with an alligator that I read for review about 10 years ago. (Yikes!)
The cover on the left is the original & the right, a newer version.🐊
As a #longtimefed I served under 7 POTUS. I only voted for 3 of them, but I did my job the same regardless. I took an oath to uphold the Constitution when I first joined the government and every time I moved to another office. My employer was the American people and not POTUS.
Higher level managers and administrators are already political appointees. There‘s no need to root out the “disloyal” employees. The result would be the real “deep state.”
