I felt anger, sadness and despair reading this. We can do better, we have too.

Not a proud moment in my hometown‘s history, but history it is and it must be learned from.

After reading about the recent book banning ( seriously!), I went on a banned book buying spree. I ordered several by Toni Morrison. This is the first one I have read, 78 pages, a short book, but one of the most powerful books I have read.

Just finished this. I have had The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series on my shelves for a while. Wondering why I waited so long to read them. On to The Prisoner of Heaven next.

What a great book! It has been a while since I have picked up a book and not put it down until I was finished.

So, I have just started this. Not even done with the prologue and I am already wondering, What Am I Reading!!!!!

This is the third book by Heather Webber I have read. I have loved them all. The theme of family and love but especially, even if done with the best of intentions, sometimes secrets aren‘t good to keep.

Found this at a Little Free Library. Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz.

After finishing The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, I really want to start this one. But, I have to work tomorrow, SIGH.

I loved this book! I have had it on my shelf for so long, why didn‘t I read it sooner!? Going to look up more by this author.

This was a very easy read and slightly predictable. But I did enjoy it. A light, sweet read, nothing hard to tackle on my day off.

Book mail today. I got this for my grandsons, but I want to read it too!

My current read. #ReadAcrossAmericaDay

Being from and living In Kentucky, when I found this book I was intrigued. I usually dingo for true crime but I thought I‘d give it a whirl. All I can say, there are some sick people out there. An afternoon I won‘t get back.

What a wonderful book! It is one of the best I have read in several months. Beautifully written, the characters were perfect. I would so love to meet all these children, especially Talia and Lucy. All of them!

I ended up loving this book, although at the beginning it was a a toss up. Each chapter rotates between past and present. Full of carnival lore, tarot cards and mermaid women, it was hard to put down.

And now the work begins. Be uncomfortable.

A very quick read. Wish it had gone into more detail regarding those events and the events leading up.

What a wonderful book. The hardship of just surviving int the hollers was so hard to even imagine but add to it, the prejudice endured by being a “Blue”. The ending although bittersweet was still hopeful. Many thumbs up!!

I enjoyed this book. The struggle and ultimate demise of the central family was heartbreaking but right alongside is the resilience of Lavinia. I love books about the South and this one was a pleasure!!

A nice sweet read. I didn‘t have to think much, which if I read several deep books I need one like that. I did enjoy the setting.
