pickQuite the novel! The novel had a bit too much “right-wing” Christian stuff (for me) to be a top read of the year. However, I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were all strong-willed. I suggest this book for those who like a novel with lots of action. 4/5⭐️ thanks for the suggestion. This was on my # AuldLangSpine list matchup with @peaKnit

I kind of guessed what was going to happen from the beginning although I loved Rhys Kinnick and the story was interesting on the whole, it was too predictable for me.
Read early because it‘s due back on Libby soon!

pickI did not realize this was part of a trilogy. So I read the last book first! This is a wordless picture book about a child who draws a door and escapes into an adventure. Her father goes after her and rescues her from some bad men. The background artwork throughout the book is beautiful and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the trilogy.
so-soA father takes his daughter to Eastern Europe after she has a psychotic break to bring him closer to her and his family‘s past. I‘m enjoying exploring Thorpe‘s backlist but as many have already pointed out this book was overly ambitious, too much touched upon to delve into anything properly.
pickAfro-Latine joy shines in this gorgeous story of a father and daughter riding through the city at dawn. It‘s about bonding, heritage, and seeing yourself in a new light. Beautiful, vibrant illustrations and heartfelt storytelling make this an unforgettable picture book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #PictureBook #Cultura
so-soBrownstone, by Samuel Teer (illustr. Mar Julia) (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Premise: A New York teenager meets her father for the first time one summer and learns about her Guatemalan heritage.
Review: This is sweet and effective, if very, very simplistic. It does deal with some hard subject matter — child abandonment, biracial identities, homophobia, and gentrification — but in ways that came off a bit too easy. ⬇️
