Wow! The world outside your childhood home is sooo much more than we‘re ever lead to believe; for both good and evil. Quite the compelling read #HighlyRecommended

I'm a little backed up on my book-of-the-day/what-to-read calendar, but I always make sure I go through the days I missed. This book made it to the #tbr; we'll see.

(As I was getting ready to post "today's" book calendar entry, I realize it's yesterday's. So, yay it's Thursday!) Anywho, the description here sounds better than the description on Litsy. Any of y'all read this?

#FunFridayPhoto: Cold climate reads!

Burial Rites is a favorite; the words feel cold + gray and the writing sets such an atmospheric + lovely scene. I love both the Icelandic setting + the female lead, Agnes. 👍🏻

A Fireproof Home for the Bride is set in the Midwestern US; a coming-of-age story with a great female lead. Emmy questions the role of women in 1950's US. There is secrecy, betrayal, racism + forbidden love. 👍🏻

Have you read these?
