The Last Chance Library
by Freya Sampson
Oh, do read this book! (8/30/2021)
Wonderful! Delightful! Often funny, characters you come to love.

Especially for those who enjoy books about books! Oh, do read this book!

"So, in answer to your question, June, no. I'm never scared when I'm fighting for something I know is right."
The Funny Thing About Norman Foreman: A Novel
by Julietta Henderson
One never knows (3/23/2021)
I knew. Somewhere on the very first page, that this was gonna be one of those books for me. I was not wrong!

Oh, Normie! I love you and all of the wonderful characters radiating from these pages. And a genuinely painted mom, who loves her son.

I cried. Sweet mom tears.

This is a beautiful, wonderfully drawn book, the kind I know from page one.

Thanks, BookBrowse folk, for an ARC to cherish.

"But then I started to feel really bad because I didn't want that to mean I was forgetting about Jax, so I closed my eyes and thought about being happy and being sad and how sometimes there's a million miles between them and other times there's none at all."
