Quite a senstive story of a man raising an adapted daughter by himself and living with secrets from his past. I would recommend it for those who like an introspective story that makes you think about life and family relations and the tragedies of war.

I am starting a novel that is quite different from what I usually read, found at a Little Free Library.

August is looking to be an ambitious reading month as well! All the books across the top are books that I have committed to in one place or another, so that's the minimum. The rest are icing.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You can do it! March will fly by and A Hat full of Sky is delightful, I loved it. 3y
DrexEdit @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thanks! I am hoping for more than 5. Cautiously optimistic. 😄 I'm loving A Hat Full of Sky but my husband wants to read it with me on audio and he's slowing me down! lol! 😂 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DrexEdit The audiobooks for that series are fantastic! But I understand, I once agreed to listen to an audiobook with my mom… it took months! It was killing me, I finally had to check out the ebook from the library and finish ahead of her because I wanted to know what happened already! 😂 3y
Cinfhen Ohhhhh, ambitious indeed!! But so worth it!!! My husband LOVED that Sharon Key Penman series!!!! But I know they are chunksters!!! Good luck 🍀 Happy Reading 3y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive collection. No description. No explanation. Some will be old. Some will be new. Don't judge me. I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

This is day 25

This is a wonderfully written book. I loved it from the first page. I've read all of Chang Rae Lee's book and each book is a joy to read!

RickMoody A truly great realistic novel. This kind doesn't come along too often. 8y
