pickNice fictional introduction to Christina Olsen, and to the artist Andrew Wyeth.
Kline's writing transports us to this isolated house to meet Christina's world. Effortlessly, we plunge into another time and place, into the intimacy of a guarded woman, hurt by life, who only wants to be seen.
Harkin‘s debut novel, Tell Me an Ending, was one of my top books of 2022. A quiet, dystopian-lite sci-fi. With The Pretender she‘s going back in time to the Tudor era. I‘ve had this book on hold since it was announced last year.
Alas! I am so overwhelmed with my reading lately—library due dates stress me out!—that I have made the tough decision to return it w/o a read.
I want it to be on people‘s radar though because Harkin has serious talent
pickThis presents a reimagining of historically marginalized experiences by bringing magic into the mix. Similarly to LGBTQIA+ gatherings being broken up by policing forces, the magic users in this book run secret broom races, hidden from the persecuting eye of the law. I greatly enjoyed this book and even more so after reading the end notes. Incredibly inclusive. I happy cried a little. #LGBTQIA #Magic #Indigenous #BlackExperiences #DisabilitiesRep

Made me chuckle. ?
My #100kpages giveaway prize arrived today — @Meshell1313 this is too much!! Thank you, I love everything. The journal is perfect! I was just thinking I wanted to start keeping a physical journal instead of only online, but I was just using a blank spiral notebook. This is way better! And the stickers are simply delectable! And chocolates, and Jane Austen mints - I feel so spoiled! I can‘t wait to read the book, I‘ve heard it‘s terrific!
