Trying to get some reading in before going to sleep but my 2 reading buddies don't make it easy. Chase my big dog on the left and my dachshund is the Chewbacca looking lump on the right 🤣
pickI dragged my feet on picking a NONFICTION winner for #2024ReadingBrackets to move on. For March, the clear winner was the tagged book, a true story about police corruption in Baltimore. I first saw the HBO series about the scandal, produced by David Simon (“The Wire”). Once I heard it was based on a book … I flew through it. It was a great read (and TV show). But I keep thinking about Raskin's book, so I had to move that through.
pickNovel in verse: 16 yo Amina, who lost her mom at the age of 3, feels sure she really lost her dad then too. Silence and acrimony persist between them, but the bottom falls out when the truth about the new pastor is revealed, and Amina‘s not the only one. Written with compassion and hope😔

pickAnother new series and author for me. This book was yummy. Suspenseful with just the right amount of sexy and complex characters that were perfect for the plot. Loved both of the main characters and the minor characters too. I can't wait to read everyone story. Love finding new series! 4.5⭐️ 💜📖📚

Beach day here in Florida. Ran by the library on my way to the beach and picked this one up.
Favorite sign welcoming all to this Tennessee restaurant owned by a thriving immigrant family who contribute so givingly to our community. A contrast to this story of adult children so damaged by neglect & abuse. At least the son who owns the Homesick restaurant provides some redeeming hope. Can't say anyone at bookclub "enjoyed" it, but we always have worthwhile discussion. #RestaurantCvr #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @always @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
