I think I'm going to meet my 2023 reading goal.

If you're like me, and ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS was one of your gateway drugs into reading, pick up I AM STILL ALIVE by Kate Alice Marshall.

"I'm very sorry if anything I did when we were younger hurt Britney or contributed in any way to her mental health struggles afterward. If I could go back and do things differently with the benefit of added maturity, I certainly would."

My older kids went ice skating for the first time tonight and my 4yo (almost 5yo) was just SPECTACULARLY bad at it.
Like. He looked like someone put ice skates on a Looney Tune.
One of those parenting moments that almost kills you from suppressed laughter.

When I was about 14 I read a Dean Koontz book late into the night (Servants of Twilight, I think) and ended up having to sleep with a light on for months.
I have learned nothing in the intervening 30 years, because the book I am reading right now has me absolutely jumping at shadows. 😅💀

3. Baby wombat carer feeds on Instagram, especially in the stage where the babies look kinda like gummi bears.
4. Saving turtles as they cross the road.

Who approved the thriller/mystery novel trend in which the narrator is attacked after revealing one final twist and then we are left to wonder whether they live or die?
I'm...not a huge fan.

I have lived in the Midwest my entire life (if you count North Texas, which I do). I also love cicadas.
Why, then, do I get freaked out EVERY SUMMER and think someone is trying to break into my house when it's just cicadas head-banging the porchlight?

Writers, what's the ONE book of yours that you wish had gotten more traction/found more readers? Pop a link in the replies and maybe we can get some readers browsing. Everybody has that one book they especially love, the runt that doesn't always find its feet.
