This books was a bit of a hard read. I kept hoping that Alex would succeed, but knew he wouldn't. I'm glad that Alex didn't bow to white women tears. I hope Morris writes more in this universe in the future. It has really solid world building.

In movies, the sequels often don't live up to the first. Thank God that isn't the case with books, especially this one. Once the mystery started, I couldn't stop. I need to get the third one, STAT! @hojay92 #goodgirlbadblood #mystery #fiction #realisticfiction #books #bookreview

This is not a book I would have picked for myself, but it was good. I really liked the intros describing the primary colors. It made me pay more attention to when the colors were mentioned in the narrative. #thelastcollection #jeannemackin #books #bookreview

As a companion to the movie, this book is fantastic. Its hilarious and very in line with the characters' personalities. I wish there was a quick guide that explained what was real and what was fiction (outside of the obvious stuff).

@Deborah_Feldman Can't wait to read it!

[BarnesBookshelf @BarnesBookshelf]

This is another book that I would love a sequel to. Its been over 10 years since originally published, and I would love to know what Feldman's journey has looked like in those years. I hope she's doing well.

I was completely overwhelmed by the kindness of the Newfies, and how quickly they mobilized and answered the call of the crisis. I would love to know what the town is like now, 20 years later.

I read 1 book in October!
#thebookshopatwatersend was super interesting in that all of the characters were heavily flawed. They acted like real humans do, which made their choices very interesting.

I found this book very interesting in the fact that all of the characters are heavily flawed. The story also felt like the river that the characters live by: it ebbs and flows and changes from rushing to calmer and back in an instant. Definitely interesting#thebookshopatwatersend

@jagddoga @feliciaday Adorable as always!

[BarnesBookshelf @BarnesBookshelf]

I really enjoyed this book! I did frequently find myself wondering what was fact and what was fiction, but I didn't let it distract me too much. I had no idea that the Baum family had lead such an adventurous life! #findingdorothy #historicalfiction #elizabethletts

[BarnesBookshelf @BarnesBookshelf]

I had no idea what to expect going in to this story. But I loved every. minute. of. It. There are just so many well-done things in this novel. I think I will need to read it again at some point. #historicalfiction #whenstarsraindown #angelajacksonbrown #books #bookreview

[BarnesBookshelf @BarnesBookshelf]

I had not read Doig's work before this, but I greatly enjoyed it! It took some time to get into the book, but once Donny and Herman started their real adventure, it was loads of fun.#books #bookreview #lastbustowisdom

@teacherguy66 @PowellsBooks @neilhimself You guys will just have to go back to see it! 😊

[BarnesBookshelf @BarnesBookshelf]

I got the opportunity to visit @powellsbooks in Oregon! Its a dream come true for readers. 4 floors of books and book-related goodies... I could live there happily. Also, I found @neilhimself's signature on the signature pillar in the Fantasy/sci-fi room!

@thatsmoreamoore @PowellsBooks I'm jealous!
