Happy Hump Day and welcome to the WWW Wednesday post for January 25, 2023!

If you liked Mildred D. Taylor’s, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, then you are sure to enjoy Lesa Cline-Ransome’s, For Lamb. So I did.

I like mess, and this book delivered. Here are 10 Thoughts I Had While Reading The Neighbors by Hannah Mary McKinnon.

Wow. So, I sat down and went through the ebook selections for books released this week, and as of today, there are way more than I had expected to choose. My ‘Library Book Bag’ is now 43 books longer. It would have been 44 if my NetGalley request was denied for the 2023 ARC of For Lamb by Lesa Cline Ransome.

Burn Down, Rise Up is a thrill of a book. The writing is informational, tense, and easy to digest. Set in the Bronx, New York, it’s observed that people are steadily disappearing without a trace. The disappearances command the attention of our main character Raquel, her best friend Aaron, his brother, Mario, and a friend ‘not a friend’, Charlize. Charlize’s cousin, Cisco is the most recent disappearance, and finding him requires Raquel and the others to play a dangerous game that could result in them disappearing too.

Mediums, curses, ghosts, and supernatural elements fill the pages of What Stays Buried. I hope my review has convinces you to consider it for your next spooky read.

Imbued with emotion and reflection, Call and Response will supply readers with a front-row seat into Botswanan life. In 9 beautifully written, self-revelatory stories, we experience the inner turmoil and contradictions of embracing cultural traditions in post-colonial Botswana, inevitable shifts and changes in shared bonds between people, coming of age, navigating familial expectations, and the all too familiar event and memories of homecoming.
