My Name Is Resolute | 
Finished my reread! It‘s a true joy to revisit a book I love and find it just as exciting and emotional as the first time I read it. Resolute is one of my top favorite female leads ever. This book spans her life, from a 10 yr wealthy child living on a Jamaican plantation in the 1700‘s to capture by pirates, to indentured servitude, to a Canadian orphanage, to her little home outside of Lexington and Concord. A very strong historical saga.
I decided on a whim yesterday to reread one of the best books I‘ve ever read (maybe THE best) for my first book of 2022. The main character, Resolute, is a force and her story is incredible. I‘ve thought about this book a million times since I last read it 5 years ago.
My house is quiet right now so I‘m getting some really good reading time.

pickThis book was everything I want in historical fiction! Resolute was an amazing character and I loved how this story stretched from her childhood to her as a great grandmother. It was a chunky book, but I could have read even more about her life - as a slave, a weaver, a rebel.
This novel opens with three kids and a bunch of slaves being kidnapped at one of the #PiratePorts in Jamaica. #WhatAWayToLive #PiratesLife
pickI finished this book + I'm so sad that it is over. I feel so many things about this story! I've never been so inside of a historical plot as with this one. It felt alive + breathing, and this character Resolute is one that I'll never forget. My new favorite female lead.
This is the story of a girl taken from her home + sold as a slave + eventually she helped shape the revolution that made the United States. Incredible story. I'm speechless.
I'm just over halfway thru this book but I think I may have found my new favorite female MC:
Resolute Catherine Eugenia Talbot is one of the strongest leads that I've ever read. I love her, I love her, I love her! She has been through some awful times, some crazy times, some good times, and she is still a lady and she is making her way. She is awesome.
I have held my breath for the entire first half of 600 pages. This book is GOOD READS.
Current situation ☕️
I took a short break from social media over the past few days. I have to do that from time to time or I get a little overwhelmed with it. (I'm NEVER overwhelmed with you, @Litsy friends!)
Anyone else ever feel this way?🙋🏻
Check out what I'm #currentlyreading 👆🏻👆🏻 👆🏻 IT IS SO INCREDIBLE. I'm trying to read it slowly so I can savor it, but really: I just want to devour it. And I'm so in love with this cover.
