Wearing my warm cozy wrap and catching up on Heidi, which I‘m loving, and my book club book which is dragging. I did some baking today and made a carrot cake from scratch with homemade cream cheese frosting.
Just found out this bookstore will be opening this month in the small town I work in. Tagged book is what I plan to look for/purchase when it opens.

I enjoyed this book. I‘m not typically a huge fan of historical fiction but overall it was a fine read.
Definitely any favorite of the month. Gonna be a strong contender against The Last Green Valley which has been my favorite since January. #readingbracket2023
pickI absolutely loved this one! This is the story of the friendship between Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary McLeod Bethune and their joint fight for civil rights. Historical fiction is becoming my favorite genre. Taking fascinating events and people that actually existed and creating something more. I‘m happy to know they genuinely had a friendship and was happy to get lost in the story. This was the first book I‘ve been excited to read in months!
Started this one on the plane yesterday. Got a solid 2 hours of uninterrupted reading! So far so good!
so-so3.75 stars for this book club pick. I didn‘t really like the short chapters combined with jumping between the narrators and constant time skips, but I did enjoy learning about these two women.
