pickSamantha is staying in Martha's Vineyard for the summer to watch her half-brother while her dad and stepmom are out of town. She loves to cook, but doesn't like to read because she has dyslexia and reading is very difficult for her. She meets Ben, the interim library director, who loves books but doesn't like to cook.

I treated myself to a new book nook kit as an early birthday present. I think this speakeasy is my favourite one yet.
Likewise, I‘ve enjoyed each of Helen Hoang‘s books more than the one before, and THE HEART PRINCIPLE absolutely blew me away. It‘s a gripping dive into toxic family structures and the intense pressure that comes when the people who should love and protect you refuse to even consider your needs. Wow. #audiocrafting
Today‘s reading. Been in Georgia with my mom, who has dementia and broke her hip, so it‘s been nice to be back in Tampa today and just relaxing.
pickI did like this book, although there were some things that bothered me. Kate was not very nice a lot of the time, so the only reason I can think of that Ben pursued her was she was beautiful. He was also huge, as the author described over and over that his physique was big and muscular. I get tired of that trope… how many men are truly ripped with 8-pack abs?
The political basis of the story was interesting and timely in an election year.
Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

pickAlways a fan of the creative talents that are Falon Ballard, I am so grateful she decided to share Emmy and Grayson with the world. This is by far her best book yet!
pickLovely. Explorations of grief and identity; perspective of trans, queer and autistic experience from an own voices author. Cryptid metaphor regarding othering of queer and transgender people accessibly conveyed for middle grade readers. Sketchy art style of Rebecca Harry's illustrations have such a life and sweetness to them. 1/3
Tricky angle to get with the library tape holding the dust jacket on, but it's important to me that you know there is a lavender foil Mothman on the hardcover of this book. 🤩
