I completely agree. I have read other books that involved the bombing of London, but I thought this book did a good job of helping to understand more of what it felt like to be there and what they went through.

Aretha Franklin was certainly the voice of a generation (or two or three) and the first woman in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! This is Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara's addition to the Little People BIG DREAMS series.

Richard Russo wrote the short story Sh*tshow about three couples, old friends, discovering they don't agree as much as they thought they did after the Trump election. Interesting.

A new series that I think kids would enjoy as well. (Who doesn't love a dog?) The Finders-(Mace Reid K-9 Mystery, #1) by Jeffrey B. Burton is about a special dog (and her owner, of course, plus a potential love interest).

I happened to find The Fire Next Time a novella/essay written in 1963 by James Baldwin, an author I read in my youth. Nearly 60 years ago, he explained that Black Lives Matter. Will we ever get the message?

I'm currently reading The Murder Bag by Tony Parsons. I'm 200 pages away from finishing it. Its SO GOOD , so far. I'm currently very happy with it, but I'm scared of the ending.

I completely agree- I thought this was an excellent read also.

I just finished Daisy Jones and the Six on audio (I highly recommend doing it as an audio as it works well with multiple narrators). I'm still reading Game of Thrones on my kindle (it is really good but it is long) and I'm starting both Before we Were Yours on hardcover and a new audio of On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous , which I am not sure is a good audio choice, but we will see!

[PattyMacDotComma]

I loved Girl, Woman, Other, the fantastic recent Booker prize winner by Bernardine Evaristo. It's a most entertaining read about 12 black women (and some side stories) in England - how their families came to be there and how the current generation is living now.

The characters have their own stories but are loosely involved in each other's lives in intriguing ways. Just wonderful and a great read!

The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy: The Shocking Inside Story

This is a true crime novel about Ted Bundy. It is written by someone who was his friend. She never realized he was a serial killer. It is fascinating

Hi, I've searched for this book and the reviews seem great! I'll definitely check it out!

[PattyMacDotComma]

What a great way to introduce kids to some of the classics by the much-loved Charles Dickens! I think A World Full of Dickens Stories by Angela McAllister would make an excellent gift.
