#weekendtreads I need a new audio book but my holds are not cooperating
Yet another aspirational library. That little spiral staircase (which also leads to a hidden hallway to the guest rooms). I have mixed feelings about the Gilded Age (and decidedly negative feelings about its current reboot), but they had awesome private libraries---and views.

pickAmélie is expressing my opinion of the ending. An early novel, this shows the promise of what Cash will become. But it‘s not there yet. It does a great job of evoking its place, and I want to love some of the characters. But they‘re not totally believable. Still a good escapist read. It‘ll be interesting to hear my non southern book club members‘ opinions. #LetterL #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader
pickThis is a novel set in the Civil War and shortly thereafter. Louella is a slave who has been freed and married to the honorable Reverend William. She wants to lead the people off the plantation and have a place where everyone is treated equally and respectfully. This is their journey to outside of Asheville, NC to a place that they call the Kingdom of Happy Land. This story is based off a true story.
Book 21 of the year.
I‘m thrilled to be a part of the @nchumanities North Carolina reads program. This is my second year as I loved last year so much! I love reading books either set in North Carolina or by North Carolina authors.
February‘s book is “The American Queen “ by Vanessa Miller.
I am looking forward to another amazing time with this group of readers and authors!
Thank you to @nchumanities for including me this year!

This poor girl had to endure so much at a young age. Heartbreaking but well written and intriguing story that will stick with me for awhile.❤️
I like all different kinds of mystery books, but especially procedurals with a hint of romance. #sundayfunday
I hope the coming week is better for you @BookmarkTavern
