The Summer That Melted Everything: A Novel | Tiffany McDaniel

dabbe Is the setting the hell that is Phoenix in the summer? 🤣🤣🤣 2w

CBee @dabbe ha! I think Alabama is about the same except we get the extra fresh hell that is humidity 🥵 This one is set in Ohio! 2w

dabbe @CBee Oh yeah, the humidity. Everyone says Phoenix is a dry heat, and it is ... until monsoon season. Then it's 115 with 70-90% dew point. Is Alabama like 90% and 90% humidity? That would be the worst. I visited Hong Kong years ago in April, and that was the weather. All I did was stay in the hotel and sit in front of the air conditioner. 🤣 2w

CBee @dabbe that‘s about right! When you walk outside it‘s like walking through soup 🥵😩 2w

As Bright as Heaven | Susan Meissner

pick

February catchup review 2:
This one was been on my shelf for a few years now and I‘m so glad I finally got around to it. It ended being one of my favorites this month and might even make it on the year end list I loved it so much.

It takes place during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic and follows the Bright family as the lose loved ones, take in an orphaned baby, and learn to navigate the aftermath of the pandemic. It‘s harrowing and hopeful… ⬇️

MeganAnn … there is loss and death, love and strength, and it promises that we too can continue on and even find happiness in the aftermath. I think this one was even more compelling having read it after our own pandemic experience. 5⭐️ Also love this beautiful cover! 💖 #pantone2023 #airyblue #skylight #graylilac @Clwojick 3w

The Scattering | Kimberly McCreight

so-so

2½✨
Still action packed with unforeseen twists and surprises.
But not as good as the first book. The ending is a major pet peeve of mine... and impacts my rating big time.

I now have double the amount of questions I had at the end of the first book, so I'm hoping the third book will not disappoint.

Totally adorable! Sweet and salty, had me worried for a minute but came through strong at the end! Loved these characters and the slow burn they made us wait through. #BookspinBingo #romantsy #Loveathon @TheAromaofBooks #Pantone2023 #AiryBlue #TenderPeach @Clwojick

So charming! I loved every minute of this book. The characters were familiar yet fresh, of the time but also modern. I listened on #audio (though I also own) as I try to read/listen to the books I already own. This seems to be a debut, can‘t wait to read more by her. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #January20in4 #Readathon @Andrew65 #Pantone2023 #AiryBlue @Clwojick

When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry | Joy Harjo

pick

I finished 1 of my month-long reads today. The first Norton Anthology of Native Nations poetry features 161 poets spanning from hundreds of years ago to the present, most of whom I would be interested in reading more work from. This is separated into 4 geographical regions following pre-state boundaries, and I was surprised to see how much more I connected with the poetry of regions I‘d lived in. #Pantone2023 #AiryBlue #Sharreadathon #20in4

The Christmas Spirit: A Novel | Debbie Macomber

pick

A December hold came in so I enjoyed another Christmas read. A pastor and a bartender… yup. Friends decide to switch jobs the week of Christmas. One‘s a pastor and the other owns a bar. This book is funny and heartwarming. The narrator is a grandma sharing this special story with her grandkids. A lovely listen.
