pickThe author‘s acknowledgment that this book is “a love letter to hometowns, and to the family, friends, and communities that raised us” sums it up. It‘s a beautiful tribute to the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. A relatable depiction of the changes and challenges faced by a 13 year old in middle school. A hopeful story that focuses on healing, dealing with changes, and importance of communication.
pickThis was a mediocre book. I didn‘t really have any strong opinions on it. It was a cute book, but not very memorable. I do think that it was weird that it was cowritten by Stan Lee, who was white, and the main character‘s name is Steven Lee who is Chinese. 4⭐️

My favorite book of the week is The Lost Year. I wonder if I can find anything to top it by the end of the month.

1. Tagged. Archie Comics are my cozy read.
2. Killers of the Flower Moon. @wildalaskabiblophile has been on me to read it and got me a copy for Christmas, so no more excuses :D

pickI love Archie comics, and I loved this introduction to Riverdale's first gay character. It is full of the joy and optimism of Archie comics. Kevin is a fully fleshed person that fits in perfectly with the group. His sexuality isn't even a plot point until the 6th issue, in which his rival is quickly shut down and rightfully ignored by everybody. What a great addition to Riverdale!
These are some of the many books I‘ve read about Titanic

pickThe weaving of intergenerational trauma from the 1930s Ukrainian famine and the Covid epidemic was interesting but unrelentingly dark and depressing.
pickAh, middle school. You couldn‘t pay me to go back. I do find it funny that in seventh grade I coveted the glasses another girl had, while Rex is doing everything in his power to avoid his. 😂
