#25in25 we are halfway through the year and I am doing not as great as I could have hoped on the 25 books I have chosen to focus on in 2025.
I feel like July and August are going to be my time to shine on this! A perfect time to read Anne of Green Gables, Three, A Trace of Sun, all those lovely summer books.
I grabbed the audio of Cutting for Stone from my Library so will dive into that this month.

pickThis book was a throwback for me, I read it when I was a teenager in the mid 90s. I realized it was published the year I was born. It was teenage drama and cheesy. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
pickRoy's style is everything I've ever wanted in a novel. From the fractured timeline to the repeated thematic phrasing to the bleak outlook that culminates in the bliss of being human - everything struck me here. Roy's novel moves through colonialism, abuse, criticisms of caste, and the many ways that love can be understood (and misunderstood) by children. I was struck by this one and look forward to more from Roy, starting with her upcoming memoir!
pick897 pages later, and I am a better person for it. Masterful, brilliant, heart wrenching, full of anger and sadness and wit and humor. I absolutely loved it. And yep, I know this much is true 😉
(Side note: Wally Lamb lists Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as the first book he read that inspired his writing life. I LOVED Mrs. PW 😊♥️).
I miss you every day… happy Father‘s Day in heaven dad! #father #junespecials @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

#FirstLineFridays I always get R.L. Stine vibes when a book starts with a character's full name lol This is a fun YA Thriller
