Good mail week, #LMPBC book arrived (I‘m hopeful that I can get it done by the end of the month). @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks your lovely gift arrived, thank you! 😊
pick3.75⭐️ For the most part, it was a pretty decent book, but felt that at times it lagged a bit and felt a bit of a slog. I really liked the story of Frederick and Jette. #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #2022 #historicalfiction #wwii #wwi #greatdepression #ebook
so-soI have not read a book by Hannah in years and years. The Four Winds is set during the Great Depression and dust bowl years. It is a hard, harrowing tale about a piece of American history that I haven‘t read much about. Even though it put me through the wringer I was mostly on board until the end. If it had been a physical book I would have thrown it across the room. Sorry for my unpopular opinion. #NewYearWhoDis
Geez, this book is GRIM!!!! I was having #FoMo but now I know Kristen Hannah isn‘t the author for me.
I don‘t dislike this book as much as The Great Alone but I feel like the author is intentionally manipulating me.
I get the Dust Bowl was a terrible tragic time in US History and I actually appreciate the insight and descriptions Hannah provides but there‘s zero redemption. And I still have another 4 hours.
Today‘s plan is the tagged audio book while doing chores, finishing The Strange Adventures of H on kindle, reading our #SundayBuddyRead section in The Other Side of Midnight and then back to the tagged for audiopuzzling.
Share what you are reading everyone.
pickThis was a good book, because I felt deeply for the characters and it was well written. I was not expecting a warm fuzzy tale since it was set in the Great Depression and Dust Bowl, but this book was the saddest story I ever read. I kept reading and reading fast hoping that something nice would happen to this mom, but not much good ever happened. I hope the author‘s next book is happier.
#TheGraphicNovel such a sweet story. Loved this bit...
1. It depends… I like them both
2. Tagged… I finished it last night and it was my first 5⭐️ read of the year and the best book I have read in a while!!

#TravelTuesday I will read anything by Christopher Paul Curtis. These 2 are set in Depression/Great Migration era Flint. The tagged was one of my daughter‘s favorites growing up. I love visiting historical places so The Henry Ford museum & Greenfield Village are on the top of my list. Pictured are my daughter and MIL sitting in the very seat Rosa Parks refused to give up. This bus was found rusting in someone‘s backyard junkyard. Auctioned👇🏻
