What are you reading to kick off 2025? I read BLUE LIGHT HOURS by Bruna Dantas Lobato, a novel as deceptively quiet as the snow-covered Vermont campus where it's mostly set. It's a moving portrayal of a close-knit relationship between a mother & daughter as they keep in touch over Skype.

Blue Light Hours, by Bruna Dantas Lobato
A tender, thoughtful novel about a mother and daughter and how their identities and relationship change over time and distance. I love a quiet and atmospheric novel that somehow manages to be gripping - I couldn't put this down.
