Thanks for the recs! Ooo Monsters sounds so interesting! I gotta find it.
Recent reads : I found Jenny Jackson’s Pineapple Street to be engaging in that cannot look away soap opera way where you’re invested in the characters and must know what happens to them.
Hang the Moon by Jeanette Walls had me riveted—Sallie Kincaid takes life’s wild careening, shocking revelations with a gasp, a wince, and a squared-shouldered carry on attitude/actions. I just started Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano and the first pages have me glued to the page—I adore vibrant active character description and the undertone of something is coming is delicious.
I’m a romance reader and, despite my skepticism, these outside of my lane books have been glorious! Fingers crossed for more good ones—and romances too lol!
Thanks, Dana! So glad you are finding some great books to read! I have Pineapple Street on my shelf but haven't read it yet and I wanted to try Ann Napolitano's new one, Hello Beautiful, but I'm little scared because I've heard it's really sad.
I’m so leery of sad stuff, mercy. I need warning so I can choose to get into it or not. Dear Edward was sad but very sweetly and steadily hopeful. I’m glad I knew it would be sad, though, I abhor sad surprises in stories!
It's refreshing getting ur recs...thx!
Aww, thanks! :)
I love your recs. Monsters... sounds intriguing.
I've been reading ARCs that won't be released for six months.
We've been watching the NatGeo specials on Elephants and on Whales. We're watching them on Disney+.
Thanks! And I love a good nature documentary. :)
