New review posted on Judging More Than Just the Cover (link in bio): Where the Crawdads Sing by @authordeliaowens. .
“I wasn't aware that words could hold so much. I didn't know a sentence could be so full." Genre: Historical Fiction
Number of Pages: 370
Perspective: Third-Person Alternating Timelines
Location: North Carolina Marshes
.
In Where the Crawdads Sing, we follow the story of Kya, known as “the Marsh Girl”, from 1952 to the present day. After being abandoned by every member of her family as a very young child, she lives in solitude in a shack in the North Carolina Marshes. Only a select few people make an attempt to get to know her: some with honest intentions and some seeking their own gain.
.
TL;DR: A very sad, but intriguing look at nature, loneliness, and coming of age.
.
Full review linked in bio. Let me know what you thought!

If you are participating in the Judging More Than Just The Cover 2020 Reading Challenge, here are some ideas for books you can read for January.
January Theme: A book with a strong female protagonist.

Since our podcast is focused on strong leading women, any of those books would be good choices for January (Then make sure to listen to the podcast episodes for spoiler-filled discussions):
📚An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen @greerhendricks @sarahpekkanen 📚The Alice Network by Kate Quinn @katequinn5975 📚Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid @tjenkinsreid 📚The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman
📚An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green @hankgreen 📚Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear @cazzifwrites 📚Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay @paulgtremblay 📚On the Come Up by Angie Thomas @angiethomas 📚Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse @rebeccaroanhorse
Since I have already read all of those, I will be reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. @lbardugo It will also be featured in one of our upcoming podcast episodes.

So let me know which book you are choosing for January! And remember to tag me @judgingmorethanjustthecover and use the hashtag #JudgingMoreChallenge.

Happy Friday! I have a long to-do list for Baby G this weekend, but I’m hoping to get some quality reading time in. What are your weekend plans?

Loved this very uniquely formatted book by @colleenhoover! FYI: it’s one of her darker books.

Well...this was not the spooky ghost story I wrongfully assumed it would be. 🤣 Have you ever gone into a book blind, but were shocked by how wrong your expectations were?

It’s almost Halloween! Which means I’m pulling out the spooky, witchy reads from my TBR shelf. Which one should I start with?
