Clammed Up | Barbara Ross

pick

Such a good cozy, and set on an island off the coast of Maine (Maine is my favorite state). I wished while reading this that I could be enjoying the fresh salt air, without the murder, of course. Julia returns home to save her family‘s clambake business, but murder happens before the official start of the season. Now, there are plenty of suspects, and the bank is calling in the loan. The recipes sound delish, even to this vegetarian. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle Definite read if you like cozies...I plan to continue the series! I‘m also listing this as my pick for #WhenItRainsItPours for #BBRC #YeahBaby ...everything seems to be collapsing for Julia, and there is a scene in the pouring rain that offers some clarity for her. @LibrarianRyan @StayCurious 4y

Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family | Robert Kolker

pick

4/5
The premise of this book fascinated me – a family with 12 children, 6 of them diagnosed with schizophrenia. There is a lot of research included about the history of the scientific research of schizophrenia which was interesting, but at times dry. The book felt a bit one-sided since majority of the POV came from the sisters, which isn‘t the author‘s fault. This was both an emotional and educational read. TW: domestic violence & child abuse.

nelehelen @LibrarianRyan #BBRC #YeahBaby #WhenItRainsItPours i thought this book worked for this prompt since having half of your kids be diagnosed with schizophrenia might be considered a “it‘s pouring” kinda thing. 4y

Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters: The Questioneers Book #1 | Andrea Beaty

pick

Squeezing another middle grade book into #BBRC #YeahBaby #WhenItRainsItPours - and in this case it‘s pouring paint!

Rosie is a young engineer. When her great-great-aunt Rose asks her for help, she meets her Riveter friends “The smartest, sassiest, toughest bunch of airplane builders you ever saw.”

SO much to love in this! Scientists that keep experimenting, an explanation of valves, a bit of a history of Rosie the Riveter, and loads of fun!

LibrarianRyan This has been on my list for a while. I love the picture books I just haven‘t started the chapter books yet. 5y

Tamra Thank you for the reminder to check it out at the library! 5y

rockpools @LibrarianRyan I‘ll have to check out the picture books, too. 5y

rockpools @Tamra Hope you and yours enjoy it 😊 - it‘s got all the things I loved about Professor Brainstorm as a kid, but with girls and real science/engineering/history... Well impressed! 5y

rockpools @charl08 👍 Will definitely try and find the others! 5y

LibrarianRyan @RachelO I love the picture books so much. There are 3, maybe 4 I think a new one came out this fall that I have not gotten to yet. 5y

rockpools @LibrarianRyan Going to have to find them! A completely unrelated question: Is SAGA an umbrella term, rather than an organisation? 5y

LibrarianRyan @RachelO Yep. It stands for Sexuality and gender acceptance. It means it just is. It's in the book and not explained. It's normalized if you will. 5y

rockpools @LibrarianRyan Got it - thank you! 5y

News of the World: A Novel | Paulette Jiles

This took a bit to get into, but then it just takes off and you discover that you are already in love with the older man delivering the 10year old former Kiowa captive home to her relatives. Beautiful writing. #bbrc #yeahbaby #whenitrainsitpours because it is basically raining throughout their entire journey!

LibrarianRyan Yeahhh 5y

SaturnDoo I started reading this back in June and just couldn't get interested in it. There may be hope for it after reading your review. Thanks 💜❤ 5y
