pickAmber thinks she‘s just stopping in for a quick visit with her godmother. Then she is swept into the overhaul of Cranberry Stores and feels like she has finally found her home. Her meeting with Josh was hazardous (they fell into the river 🤪), but they still warm up to each other. I felt the ending was abrupt in this meander to getting to know the village, but well worth the read. I really like getting to know the characters of the villages.
pickThis graphic biography follows Jane Austen from 1796 until her importance today. Barchas is a Jane Austen scholar so while not everything told in book is known as facts, it is likely that Austen did it.
The illustrations are by Isabel Greenberg in her recognizable pen.
Every time the authors connect Jane's life to her fiction, they use much brighter, eye-catching colour. Here a visit to a stately home (might have) inspired Northanger Abbey.
Bio includes 🐣 from TV / movie adaptations too.

I saw PaperMoon at the drive in as a child and loved Tatum. Apparently its based on an obscure novel?
