pick(2021) Ten-year old Ant Joplin comes from a family of hard-core spades players, and he wants to defend the family reputation in an annual local tournament. But he's dealing with a lot at school and home. The plot touches on loyalty, responsibility, family, and addiction, with a generous helping of humor. I listened to this one on audiobook with Mrs. swynn, who has played spades since she was younger than Ant, and it gets thumbs-up from both of us.
pickWow! What a difference between this and Twins! This novel was so raw and wonderful: 10 year old Ant wants to impress (and save) his father who struggles with addiction.
Hail, fellow bibliophiles, if you‘re interested in material culture, you can find a longer blurb about T. Husband‘s study of late medieval-early modern playing cards on my blog. The exhibition catalogue from. Cloisters exhibition traces the style and production of these “fugitive” and “ubiquitous” items. Trappedinthescriptorium.com

Just received my copy of An Enchanted of Ravens as well as a large shipment of candles and I have to say Highland Mist candle from WickandFable smells INCREDIBLE.

I loved these books. Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody is an INCREDIBLE novel that I highly recommend.
