Today‘s Prompt: MAGIC ELEMENT
HISTORICAL FICTION - MYSTERY
A year-old murder, a book paralleling events and characters, and the South in the 1940's after WWII.
THE SECRET OF MAGIC has beautiful, descriptive writing that pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages. Ms. Johnson is a master with words.

In the vein of Mary Downing Hahn (but not quite as creepy), comes a story that becomes unsettling. Celeste is going to spend two weeks at her grandparents' lake house with her brother, Owen, and their cousins Capri and Daisy. Right away things are ‘off‘ - lights turn on and off, the old house seems to sigh and whisper, and Celeste sees her dead aunt‘s creepy face in the mirror…

pickI FINALLY finished a book this month! This was a mildly creepy middle grade horror novel with big lessons on racism and facing your fears. Well-written and engaging, it‘s perfectly narrated by Bahni Turpin.
pick3.5 ⭐️ a good story! After reading the author‘s note, I learned George Stinney was a real person which makes it sadder. I enjoyed this debut novel!
so-so“But stories are like people, Atticus. Loving them doesn‘t make them perfect. You try to cherish their virtues and overlook their flaws. The flaws are still there, though” Ruff punches a little out of his weight class but overall a fun and enchanting group of stories that keep you hooked while reminding you of America‘s deeply bigoted past. I wonder what becomes of Horace 🤔
pickAn uplifting story/history of those who had to use the Green Book when travelling to find cafés, hotels, and service stations that would welcome people of color ??

I read this last year for 20 books by Black Women and it was something I‘ve never quite read before it‘s very good. Anyway it‘s on sale today if you‘re looking for a good read
pickA good continuation of a series that blends science fiction, with fantasy and the struggling racism of the 1950‘s. 4⭐️
