This year is my year of ARCs, and in the excitement of receiving something in exchange for an honest review, I went a little overboard and committed to many.

Have you heard, have you heard? Claude and Daisy Compton are a couple. Oh, you didn’t know? Don’t worry. His mama and daddy didn’t know either. Let’s hope you don’t take this news like they have.

A family on the run, in need of money and shelter, but we don’t know why. Insert a haunted house, whose owner is willing to pay the father of said family, to stay there, but won’t go inside or stay in the house themselves. For the “right” amount of money, will he risk it all? Would you stay in the spite house?

Happy Hump Day and welcome to the WWW Wednesday post for December 7, 2022! WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, where bloggers share the books that answer these three questions (the Three Ws): What are you currently reading?

Phew. These chapters were something else y’all. Daisy is continuously dragging the Wiggins family name through the mud and Oswald finally makes his first on-page appearance. How much can Maggie continue to bear before she completely cracks under the pressure?

Once read, reread, and zoomed out, this book of poetry reads as a mashup of the author’s biography and passions. In 13 poems, Javier describes his concerns and love for Harlem.

A. M. Shine’s ‘The Creeper’ is negligibly unnerving. The Creeper and its rules played with my mind and dredged up fear of suffering from the consequences of not believing in the unexplained.

February, the Month of Love, was my Month of Meh. I had some decent reads, but I wasn’t wowed. It was a pretty mediocre month of reading for me.

A More Perfect Union is a 2020 historical fiction novel inspired by the union of the author’s great-great-grandparents, an Irish immigrant and an African American slave. It was surprising and had its challenges, but overall proved to be an inspiring love story, supporting the notion that Love knows no bounds.

The tweet in this facebook post recently came across my feed, so I decided to pick up the author’s book. Luckily, the audiobook was available at my library and you all….it’s REALLY good so far. It’s been such a long time since I’ve reached for a middle grade series.
