pickThe message in the 2nd volume in The Spirit of Denendeh graphic novel series is that it‘s never too late for redemption and that the prospect of leaving a legacy to be proud of can carry us forward to a better future. The portrayal of Fort Smith is impressively realistic—it‘s rare to see NWT communities in fiction. Tlicho cultural traditions & beliefs as shown are interesting too. Dynamic art and an inspiring story: I recommend this! #Indigenous
Nice to see this Easter egg: Lacey takes a brave step in her life and she is carrying a copy of Helen Knott‘s memoir, In My Own Moccasins.
I think I‘ve never showed you guys “my” desert. Here is a tiny piece of it.
The first week of this year is gone. Only focus on the now and claim the rest.
Always remember to stop and enjoy nature. It is a healer.

pickI‘ve been trying to slowly savor listening/reading Chamberlain‘s backlist since discovering her about a decade ago! Like her others, this dual-timeline story moves at a fast & absorbing pace. In the modern timeline, Joelle finds herself in an impossible love triangle. In the past, identical twins have one difference with Carlin having a mystical healing power. Set in Monterey, CA, I couldn‘t stop listening while doing a thrifted #GhostPainting!
pickI loved this book so much. I just finished and have a big case of the warm and fuzzies.
This book is about fourteen year old Clara discovering herself when she leaves her suburban Maryland home to visit her grandparents in rural Mexico.
#LMPBC - I‘ll get it in the mail on Tuesday. Thanks for a great round!

I‘ve never heard of Oaxaca, Mexico, or the Mixteco language. But there is nothing I crave more than learning about different cultures and their mythology. All of these things were covered in this fascinating tale about 14-year-old Clara Luna who travels to Oaxaca to spend the summer with the grandparents she's never met before. There she discovers a part of the world and a part of herself... she never knew existed.

I can‘t remember if I acknowledged that I got the book. Well, I did and I‘m starting it today. Thanks.
bailedYA just isn‘t my thing. I tried because it was for the #litsymarkuppostalbookclub. This is the second book in the club that I haven‘t really loved. The first was my own, so I felt like I had to finish it. Starting the third today, and hoping to enjoy it more. @vonnie862 @Bookwormjillk @suvata
Thank you @vonnie862 My brain is a little fried from working corporate retail on Black Friday, but I plan to start this when it recovers enough to follow a story. #LMPBC #GroupC @suvata @Bookwormjillk
