pick3.5 ⭐️ This is literary fiction that has historical fiction sprinkled throughout it. Beaird utilizes imagery of 1950s Reno that is intoxicating. The book, especially the pacing, reminded me of an old black-and-white film. There were moments in the book that needed further development and depth. Ifyou enjoy slow-burns with moody, light mystery overtones, you‘ll likely enjoy this book. Full review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127306119

I‘m sharing an ebook from my Kindle I haven‘t read yet with the word Family in it. This book sounds interesting.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

pickTweens Charlotte Lockard and Ben Boxer play Scrabble with each other online. They are both word wizards and both are navigating the jungle of middle school in different cities, 1000+ miles apart. Slowly they begin to realize how much more they have in common, mostly that each needs a solid friend 🩵

so-soI was bored through most of it one 😒.. IMO most of it hard more of a domestic drama flair, then psych thriller. Interesting ending, but it wasn‘t really put together enough before it for me.
On this week‘s episode of my book podcast, my guest Laura Taylor Namey and I deep dive a Judy Blume book that was new to both of us, IT‘S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. It‘s Judy‘s so-called “divorce book,” so it inspires all kinds of conversations about the evolution of tough talks with kids over the last 50 years. Listen at the link in my bio!
I was the only 4th grader in my school whose parents divorced when I was ten (back in 1975). To me (and everything revolved around “me“ of course back then), it was the end of my world. Then my mom got me this book, and it saved me in all the best ways possible. Now they're both gone and what wouldn't I give to have them back. They both ended up best friends. 💙🖤🩵
