A coming-of-age story about first love, family, and finding yourself.
Jeremy‘s figuring things out—his sexuality, his relationship with his newly-divorced dad, and whether Evan, the boy he meets on the Oregon Coast, might like him back. As they bond over birdwatching, they create a secret code—part game, part shield. Quietly powerful, this YA story hits hard and feels real.

I found this for $8 at Indigo years ago and had zero expectations. The cover was eerie and drew me in. Maltman paints an emotional image of small town rural life, struck by tragedy. A father trying to understand his son‘s actions. A pastor‘s wife trying to find her place. A town guided by traditions and keeping secrets. Mixing in folklore and Norse Mythology, Maltman creates a tense story interwoven with mystery and beauty.

I‘m trying something new by making a summer reads pile! So these are my picks for June and July. Will this work out? Probably not… but these are the books that I‘ve been itching to pick up and for some reason never do. So once I finish my current read, I‘ll be picking away at this!

First up is the tagged book: Little Wolves

If you are a baseball fan, you are going to like this novel. Joe Castle was hit in the head with a baseball. Life changes for both the Warren Tracey and Joe Castle after that incident. I liked Warren‘s son Paul and the story behind the life of the two men. 4/5 ⭐️

Read this for my kids. Really cool story, and would definitely recommend!

This tribute to Jerry Pinkney is just what I needed. A powerful & beautiful, expression of grief to be shared, loved and adored.
