My favorite part was how Jason still got to play other baseball games even though he was sick for the first practice.

Fun

Fun love baking

Such a great book

I loved this book. My favorite part was when the giant cupcake fell on the fairy and Petey. It was funny when Lil Petey was saying please like 25 times because he wanted Flippy and Molly to stay at the house.

This is the book referenced in Chernow’s biography, which Mark Twain had sold door to door after Grant’s death from throat cancer.Fascinating window into our pre and post civil war past and this underadmired President.

I liked the fox. It had a good plot.

Kristen Hannah is great at evoking a strong sense of place and creating characters that have depth and dimension. This book was heart wrenching in its depiction of family relationships and how we can hurt others as we play out our own psychological dramas. The book also touches on deeply imbedded prejudices in society that directly affect some of the characters in the book. It was worth the read.

Set in the remote woods of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountains, this book centers on a young woman who has secluded herself from the world to recover from a past trauma. A foreigner mysteriously shows up in the area; he also seems traumatized and haunted by his past. Although their lives seem as bleak as the winter woods setting, a mutual understanding creates a tenuous friendship between them. Disturbing truths revealed at the end were difficult to fathom and highlighted the extent to which humans can hurt each other. I was absorbed by this book; it wasn't a joyful read but was worthwhile.
