What You Can Expect:

I read as much as I can. I always love when someone tells me about a book that they just couldn't put down. The books that are featured here will always be rated 3-5 stars. If a book falls below the "okay" margin, I'm not going to waste precious reading time talking about it.

(And, I don't want to unfairly bias someone against a book that might be just right for where they are in their life.)

So for now, bring on all of the good to great books! This is where you'll find the books you are glad you took the time for!

The Smell of Other People's Houses ~Bonnie Sue Hitchcock

Everything about this book was amazing, with raw and heartbreaking circumstances, challenging decisions with lifelong reach and characters that enter your heart with stealth and tenacity. 

 It is 1970 in Alaska, and Dora, Ruth, Hank and Alyce are all facing demons of life, love, and learning. Being a resident of Alaska, in its nascent statehood, is not easy. There are political, cultural, and ethnic divides that grip each young life. How each of the characters evolve and engage with one another is beautifully woven together, coming to an ending that leaves you wanting a sequel. (Hint, hint....)



This book was received as a digital ARC through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review.  Thank you for the opportunity.
