#JulyJazz Cheer the Lonely A Solitary Man by Johnny Cash @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A few hours ago the sky opened and it rained buckets. A little later the sun came out and I took an unscheduled nap. Just now I took an abbreviated walk around the neighborhood because the rain left behind some humidity.

Seen on my walk: an
Upside down flag and mushrooms

Well, this is a rather depressing song about a breakup. #JuneSpecial Stormy Weather @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

If, like me, your reading style started out as Babysitters Club and morphed into historical fiction, this middle grade series is for you. This seems to be a sleeper by Ann M Martin, of Babysitters Club fame. Following a family tree from the depression, Kennedy‘s assassination, on through 9/11, Martin tackles tough family topics such as mental illness, disability, and alcoholism in a straightforward but gentle way.

I have no idea how or where I stumbled upon this book but I‘m so glad I did! Fans of “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” and Garrison Keillor will appreciate the themes and the storytelling. Reading the descriptions of Trevanian‘s other books, I‘m not sure if I‘ll continue reading his stuff but this one was a good read. Full disclosure though, I did just skim the chapter “Love on Pearl Street”, and got the gist on what 11 year old Jean-Luc got up to 🤭🙄

I wish you guys could hear the pouring rain in my picture, it‘s just perfect reading weather! A rainy night with no plans, a good book, and a Guinness leftover from Monday 🍀🍺 -Logs off-

Had to start this one today for obvious reasons lol 💚🇮🇪🍀

I got this book at a library sale. It sounded very interesting. I liked the book. It was a quick read for me. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
