Mairy What a great week in the publishing world! I finished reading Libertie this weekend, it was a story worth reading and a good selection for a book club as there is much to be discussed. I am now reading The Final Revival of Opal & Nev and whooaaa this one is exciting. I am only 14% into it and I already know it's going to be one of my favorite reads of Spring 2021.

I also look forward to read Wild Women and the Blues, Sunflower Sisters, The Hill We Climb, and Of Women and Salt.

Happy reading week, everyone!
