Beautiful storytelling that focuses on the relationships of slave laborers and plantation owners at the end of the Civil War. This novel spans decades and highlights the horrors and triumphs of both families. Read this book!

Black Woods Blue Sky

Mini-Review:
This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast-of sorts? I adored young Emaleen in all of her innocence.
I was hopeful but sad for Birdie. The story moves slowly with beautiful descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness. 💙📚

Oh how my heart went out to Yara. I so wanted her to overcome, to discover, and give herself grace.

I Who Have Never Known Men
By Jacqueline Hartman
4/5 ⭐️s
Mini-Review:
I love a good dystopian novel! This was a unique and interesting read. The biggest feeling while reading- loneliness. This book left me with a feeling of wanting more but I think that might have been its purpose for me.

Today I’ll celebrate 2 things: My sweet Link’s birthday and the work of Dr. #MLK.
Please enjoy these #dog pics and a great read aloud!

Mini-Review:
This debut novel is a heartbreaking story of difficult but necessary truths. I was invested in the four girls and enthralled by their journey and growth. I also loved Momma Pearl. Move this to the top of your tbr list!

The VHS cover, the song titles for each chapter, and all of the 80’s references make this book pretty rad. Like many of Grady’s novels, this was a dark comedy about friendship, the south and all its charm, and of course an exorcism.
