Late on posting but this was one of my January #roll100 books. I‘ve owned some of the books in this series for years, but my mom finally bought me a copy of the first one. I‘m looking to fill the void that is Kinsey Millhone because I read that entire series last year and I feel like my best friend is missing. This was a solid start to a series. Looking forward to more #serieslove2023 #booked2023 #gifted

Andrew65 Amazing how attached we get with some characters from series, and we feel bereaved when the series ends. Hope this turns out to be a good series for you. Well done 🥳 2mo
Cinfhen Nice to look forward to a new series!! And sweet of your mom for gifting you the copy 🫶🏼 2mo
TheSpineView Excellent! 2mo

Reccomended for ages 4-8 this sweet story about a curious girl and the unlikely friendship with a kind crow is a real hit in our house! My daughter is much like Chloe so she immediately connected with this story. Based on a real story this book is great for young nature lovers. Such a sweet story of friendship. The illustrations are so cute and eye pleasing too! Out in March

|| MISTER KITTY IS LOST ||
Greg Pizzoli the author of several wonderful picture books is back with an interactive counting and colors book for young readers as we go on a search for Mister Kitty, who is not quite what you expect. With humor and his signature fun drawings my youngest reader has us searching for Misterr Kitty nightly. Simple and fun, very much enjoyed, just like his others. Out Jan 17th. #gifted/@hbgcanada

A wonderfully crafted generational saga about California's Golf rush and three determined and complex women.The American Dream from a female perspective covering a century of California's history. More and more I'm enjoying historical fiction and I found the writing engrossing, the moral of the story compelling and the short chapters really helped me fly through this book. #gifted #bookreview

#gifted 4☆ A queer, Black coming of age story about Jade, a 24 year old woman living in Toronto trying to move on after the devastating loss of her twin sister. Through multiple POV's we see Jade explore her queerness, rediscover joy, found family and love. Contemporary and relevant. And great to read another book exploring the Jamaican Canadian experience too. Jade's journey was like a rebirth, raw, and compelling. I loved every second of it!

4☆ (#gifted)
A wonderful novel about mothers, daughters, writers, romance and the complications of life.
SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE was a book I debating reading for a while. But I ended up devouring it! Full of warmth, humor and romance it is the perfect summer read! So if like me you shy away from romantic story lines, trust me shake it up and give this one a go you won't be dissapointed!

Desha I just finished this one and I normally am not much of a romance reader but I too loved this book! 💗 7mo
Bookalong @Desha yay!! Yes I never read romance but this was so much more. 7mo
Desha I‘m having “book hangover” from this one…I want a sequel 😆! 7mo
Bookalong @Desha I'm hoping for a mini series 🤞🏻 7mo
Desha Yes!! That would be 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! 7mo
