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.

What do you get when you combine a missing person, vampires, blood-siphoning butterflies, and caterpillars galore? You get Direwood by Catherine Yu.

Libraries are a necessary fixture in all communities. Their purpose for existing is more than housing books. Take the time to visit your local library more often. If you aren’t able to do that, get an e-library card and borrow ebooks from your library. Keep them open and active. Utilize their devices. They continuously support YOU, so support and amplify them wherever you can.

D. W. Brooks’s Homecoming Chaos is as its name implies. It’s a homecoming full of chaos that culminates into a story worth reading. I thoroughly enjoyed this romantic suspense and look forward to reading more from this author.

Mrs. Wiggins was a good time, but there were some things that I noted that may be goofy to some and useful to others. Follow me further…

I promise I’ve been reading. I’m a reader 😉. And…I have book reviews in my head. I just need to type and publish them to the blog. 😬 🤭 Bear with me, y’all. As a reminder of my presence, I thought to share a quote I came across while watching a new favorite TV show. I’m on episode 6 of The Last of Us, and although I’ve heard many good lines, this one stood out the most to me and I’ve been ruminating on it. Be careful who you put your faith in. The only people that can betray us,…

For June 2023 I will be reading and discussing the following books: Empty Vows by Mary Monroe, Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, and ‘Til the Well Runs Dry by Lauren Francis-Sharma. If you are interested in any of the titles, please consider joining me. I don’t want to read alone. 🙂 So join me this month in reading!

Empty Vows is a continuation of the Lexington, Alabama series by Mary Monroe and immediately picks up after the events from the ending of Mrs. Wiggins. I will not go into much detail because this is the second book in a series, and I don’t want to spoil anything. I will, however, tell you how I felt about the characters, writing style, and pacing because the setting was the same.

Happy Hump Day and welcome to the WWW Wednesday post for January 11, 2023!

In October 2022 I managed to read 4 books. I say ‘managed’ because I traded my reading time for setting up my blog. It was important to me that I establish what I wanted the blog aesthetics to be before posting content more frequently.
