pickMy last Nonfiction November read for 2024. This book was excellent. It was about Janesville, Wisconsin and what happened in the 5 years after the GM plant in town closed. I‘m glad I got to this one finally.
pickSo exciting to read a book of this genre by a Wisconsinite author!! I loved reading about cannibal sandwiches, a beloved staple for my German Milwaukeean family, Christkindlmarket, Door County cherries, and West Allis Candy Cane Lane. Loved the premise wondering what it would be like to live in never ending Christmas. The ending twists pleasantly surprised me. Jack was super romantic in how long he waited for Astra.
Getting closer to the end. Brotherless Night will take the prize if it goes up against the tagged book. 3 more chances to knock it off its pedestal.
I nearly needed nitro (heart med) after this came up available as an ARC for me. My favorite local author 🩷
pickIt's a toss up which book, this one or The Outsiders, is the first work of YA. This one was written when Daly was still in college and published in 1942. Although I found it slow moving, I also found it full of wistful nostalgia. Anyone who has ever fallen in love as a teen will likely recognize themselves in Angie. The themes are universal.

pickButler explores the possibility of going back home, picking up the pieces and building something new. I love his writing. His characters are people I want to get to know and as the story unfolds they become people I care about and root for. I loved this book. Pub date 2/4/25
